According to Stylists, These Are the 7 Hair Colours Everyone Will Want This Season (2024)

Does anyone else get a sudden urge to change their hair colour whenever a new season rolls around? Although I don't believe in throwing away your whole wardrobe and changing up your entire look for the autumn and winter months, there is something to be said about getting a fresh cut and colour to start the season feeling like the very best version of yourself. I'll be the first to admit that my hair needs some TLC, and my roots are definitely starting to show. However, instead of topping up my usual blonde highlights, I'm in the mood to switch things up and try something new. But with so many options out there, I've found myself constantly going back and forth on what colour to go for, so I've enlisted the help of industry experts to find out what trends we can expect to see everywhere this season.

I reached out to Samantha Cusick, founder of Sta Studios and Samantha Cusick London, and Jordanna Cobella, British Hairdressing Awards London Hairdresser of the Year 2023 (for the second year in a row!) and creative director of Cobella Salon. Both experts shared what they believe will be the biggest hair colour trends through the end of 2024, and I've finally decided which one to try, so if you're also feeling stuck and are looking for a little bit of inspiration, keep on scrolling for your new look.

THE TOP HAIR COLOUR TRENDS FOR 2024:

1. Lived-in Blonde

First up is possibly one of the most wearable, low-maintenance trends out there. Say hello to "lived-in blonde". "2024 will be all about more lived-in shades with darker roots, providing a low-maintenance option for those who want to stretch the time between salon visits," says Cusick.

This really is an ideal choice for those of you who don't want to be getting your roots done every few weeks, but still want to add lightness and dimension to the hair.

Want something a little bit darker? The experts recommend "expensive brunette". As Cobella explains, 2024 will have a big focus on quiet-luxury hair, including expensive-looking brunette shades. "This is all about elegant, high-end, luxurious colour," adds Cobella.

"2024 is the return of the balayage trend", says Cusick. "I predict a wave of clients embracing the effortlessly natural vibe and opting for low-maintenance hair colours."

Similar to lived-in blonde, balayage is great if you like to take a break between hair appointments, but the difference is that this trend can be adapted to suit any hair colour.

Cobella is also predicting that the "golden glow" trend will be big this year. "This is a super-soft and subtle glaze that’s only noticeable in the natural light, to mimic that golden-hour glow that emerges from a beautiful pink sky," she says.

Although I'm no hair stylist, as a beauty editor, it is my job to keep on top of the latest hair trends, and I'm predicting that we will see peach tones everywhere this year. Why, I hear you ask? Well, if you didn't know, Pantone's Colour of the Year is 'Peach Fuzz', a soft, peachy shade that is perfect for autumn.

7. Ice Blonde

As we head into autumn, it's inevitable that cooler blonde tones become more popular. If you're considering freshening up your blonde for the new season and want to try something new, icy blonde can feel more seasonally appropriate than a warm-toned golden blonde.

Of course, the one thing about going blonde (when you're not naturally) is the increased hair maintenance. To keep your hair soft and shiny, invest in nourishing hair oils and reparative masks.
