Time to put your winter beanie back in storage and slip on a pair of sunglasses—spring is here, and so are the newest spring hair color trends we can’t get enough of. From Uconnic Blonde to Cafe Americano Brunette, check out our top spring hair color ideas…

1. Marigold Copper

It’s official, red hair color is having a moment. Our favorite iteration of the red hair color trend is a natural-looking, warm copper red—a.k.a. spicy ginger, rusty copper, or rosy red—that’s warm, elegant, and ever so slightly edgy. Marigold Copper embraces a refined palette of red shades featuring subtle tones like strawberry blonde and natural red hues that are inspired by the pre-summer aesthetic. We love Vesuvius Red 7NRC or Carrara Crimson 7RC for this youthful, spicy red hair color look with a little bite.

2. Cafe Americano Brunette

We’ve seen it on TikTok and read it in The New York Times, so it must be true…everyone is going brunette right now. Brunette hair colors couldn’t be more in, and our favorite brown hair colors for spring are luxe, deep brunette shades that look like soft buttery leather. Cafe Americano Brunette is a reflective and rich color that brings out a natural dewiness in your skin while softly framing your face. Some of our favorite rich, glossy brunette hair colors that perfectly highlight this on-trend spring look are Ravenna Brown 3.5NNN, Venezia Brown 4NGV, or Bolzano Brown 4NMG. All three shades would look great with soft caramel lowlights, if you want to go lighter for spring…

Which brings us to one of our favorite,tried-and-true spring hair color ideas—soft, natural-looking caramel balayage, of course! Subtle, blended highlights made with our Balayage Highlighting Kit mean spring is in the air…plus, they’re so easy to maintain and grow out. We love a warm brunette with soft balayage highlights that add eye-catching pieces of caramel or gold to rich brunette hair. As an added bonus, your skin will look absolutely glowing.

4. Dark Honey

Spring is all about warm hair color shades, for brunettes and blondes alike. One blonde hair color shade we’re currently buzzing over is dark honey blonde. Warm and flattering, dark honey is an extremely versatile shade of blonde that feels bright, modern, and perfect for spring. It’s a lived-in blonde that looks good on everyone. This shade can lean more golden, more tawny, or more taupe, so you’ve got options. Try Tivoli Blonde 8N or Tremiti Blonde 9NG styled with a middle part and soft waves for the ultimate beachy blonde spring hair color look.

It maintains the richness and intensity of black hair while incorporating subtle blue undertones for a cool, modern twist.
