We’ve put together a round-up of nine super-sumptuous winter hair colour ideas for blondes, brunettes and redheads. If you’re not sure which hair colour shades will suit you, use our Choose our Winter hair colours for blondes
There are so many shades of blonde to choose from when the mercury falls, but we’ve picked out three of our favourite winter blonde hair colour ideas below that are sure to wow this season.1. Ash blonde hair
Cooler tones are always a go-to in the winter months, so flattering shades of ash, sandy and platinum shades of blonde are an easy-to-maintain blonde which ties into the current ‘expensive blonde’ trend. Keep brassiness at bay by using an intensive purple shampoo and purple conditioner - our Violet Crush range contains crushed violet pigments to gradually neutralise yellow and orange tones.
For a darker golden blonde, we’d recommend trying shade 2. Golden blonde hair
Hollywood-style classic golden locks look beautiful all year round, but we like this buttery shade of winter blonde to add a burst of sunshine on a grey day.
Subtle blonde highlights through darker hair can boost your style and brighten your complexion on those rainy days. If you’re not quite sure what shade to go for, our 3. Blonde highlights
Highlights aren’t just for the summer; they can transform your locks into the ultimate winter blonde by adding movement and depth.
We’d recommend going for honey and caramel blondes, light browns, and light reds as possible balayage shades – you want to create contrast without the colour change being too stark.Winter hair colours for brunettes
In winter, brunettes have the option of embracing warmer or cooler hues. If you’re going brunette, be sure to take a look at our round-up of the best hair care products for brunettes so your hair stays nourished, shiny and healthy.4. Brunette balayage
There are so many balayage variations, from warm brunette to darker blonde or even a cooler-toned brunette balayage. It’s a great choice for brunettes who want to go lighter but don’t want all-over blonde, and it’s a relatively low-maintenance technique as the dye your stylist uses only goes on your lengths, not your roots.
Try our 5. Natural brown hair
Sometimes the natural route is the way to go in the winter months, especially if you’re looking for a chic, sophisticated look that’s low maintenance.
