As far as winter hair colors go, 2024 might be our favorite yet. We’ve got the classic dark shades to match the cozy vibes that the cold weather brings, like a smokey brunette or an alluring deep chestnut. But there are also a few bright spots if you’re wanting to provide some stark contrast to anything dark (and to dress for the weather you actually want and all that), like a bombshell blonde or a strawberry copper. Whatever your mood, there’s a shade you’re bound to fall in love with.
But don’t just take our word for it. Below are the 12 winter hair colors that the pros think should be on your radar. Scroll through to find the one that calls to you this season.
Chestnut Brown
John Shearer
Nothing looks more chic and luxe than a chestnut brown. “It’s such a timeless, classic color that’s easily able to be tailored to flatter anyone’s skin tone, eye color, and hair texture,” says Olivia Casanova Holohan, colorist and founder of IGK salon NYC. “It’s extremely universal.”
For best upkeep, Holohan recommends getting a gloss or a quick base color with your colorist every couple of weeks. At home, use something like IGK’s Color Depositing Mask in Brown Bella.
