Changing the color of your hair can be as subtle as adding a few highlights or as drastic as going full-throttle pink or purple. The color experts at your local Clinton Hill and Prospect Heights hair salon in Brooklyn have seen all colors of the rainbow surge in popularity over the past few years. However, for 2018, hair color is more laid-back and less drastic. If you’re looking to change your hair color this year, here are a few things you should know about the most popular color choices.

Rose Blonde – The New Ultra Subtle Pink

While blonde hair has always been a top favorite, there’s a new shade in town that’s getting all the attention and it’s rose blonde. Unlike pastel pink, rose blonde is more understated and gentle, making it the perfect color for blondes who want to subtly change their hair color. If you don’t want to go full rose blonde, you can have the color applied to the lengths of your hair in strands from the ears down for a soft shade of rose that’s most noticeable up close.

Charcoal for a Smoldering Look

Charcoal hair is all about achieving the perfect balance of silver, black, and blue to create a hot, smoldering look. If you want to color your hair charcoal, you’ll need to have it bleached first otherwise, the silver and blue tones won’t show up on your strands. It’s important to know that the darker the base color you’re starting with, the longer it will take for you to get the desired charcoal color you want.

Copper – The Go-To Hue for Summer

While just about every metallic shade under the sun has been used in hair color, you haven’t seen anything until you’ve seen copper hair! This metallic shade of red is hands-down, the best way to enhance your complexion for the warmer weather and it’s bold without being over-the-top. It’s a soft hair color that works on every single skin tone.

Violets and Plums are Flirty & Fun

If you want to do something totally unexpected to your look, various shades of violet and plum are definitely worth considering, regardless of your hair type or skin tone. You can go with a vivid violet hue for a bold new look or be more subtle with a softer plum color for a rich, romantic look. The key to choosing the right violet or plum color is to decide how daring you want to be. If you’re not quite ready to color all your hair, you can add subtle nuances of violet or plum randomly through your strands for a subtle dose of color.
