When it comes to hairstyle trends, nothing is ever really out. That being said, there are certain looks that come and go naturally- especially when it comes to hair colors. With a new season comes new color trends and fresh ways of coloring and highlighting hair. Bearing this in mind, you may be wondering what the best hair colors for spring 2021 are. While it’s safe to say that 2021 will look a lot like 2020 in terms of what hair colors are popular, there are some hair colors to be aware of if you want to keep with what’s trending.

Today, MyCuts will be telling you all about the best hair colors for spring 2021 according to some of the country’s top hairstylists. These hairstylists may not be psychic but they listen to the needs of their customers and this gives them a good idea of what will be in this season. If you’re looking to make a change to your hair color this spring, we’re here with all of the information that you need to make the best decision for yourself. Let’s get started!

Hazelnut Brown

For those with naturally brown hair who are looking for an easy update that doesn’t cause much of a fuss, hazelnut brown is the color to go with this spring season. Hazelnut brown mixes shiny and rich with cold and warm tones. One of the best things about hazelnut brown is that there are multiple different ways to achieve this look. Either you can wear this as an all over single-process color or you can mix it in in the form of highlights to add dimension to your brunette base color- the choice is yours!

Another benefit offered by this particular trendy hair color for spring 2021 is that it allows you to switch up your natural hue a bit without going through an entire production that could leave your strands fried. For those with darker hair, this look is easily realized and will be far less damaging to your hair. That sounds like a win-win scenario to us!

Shadow Roots

Considering that salon capacities are lowered to about 25 percent due to the current pandemic, you’ll likely have to stretch out your salon appointments as much as possible. When you can’t go to a colorist regularly, you’ll want to choose a look that will extend the life of your hue. That’s where shadow roots come in. Shadow roots allow you to keep your roots dark while blending them into the lighter ends. You can think of shadow roots as a softer version of an ombre.

While shadow roots can work for almost any color, this hair color is especially good for blondes and this makes maintaining your color much more manageable. With the all over appearance of an ombre that features a perfect gradation of dark to light with both a vertical and horizontal color and tonal contrast, shadow roots are perfect for those who want something they can easily maintain. If you’re heading to the salon to get this look, ask your colorist for a root shadow over freshly done highlights and/or midlights.

The Money Piece

With bold, contrasting highlights becoming all the rage close to a year ago, hairstylists expect the face-framing twist known as the “money piece” to stay just as popular this spring. The “money piece” is a pop of highlights that start right at the part line in the front. One thing we are expecting to change about this look in spring 2021 is a move towards bolder color with people no longer choosing the contrasting brown/black combo.

Hairstylists say that the money piece is a great way to change up your color with less maintenance than doing an entire head of highlights. While there is less maintenance involved in this look, that isn’t to say that no maintenance will be required whatsoever. With this particular look, you’ll want to make sure that you maintain your color before it’s fully faded out. For this, you can use a semi-permanent color gloss or color depositing hair mask to keep the tone of your color looking top-notch.

Different Shades of Red

Finally, we fully expect to see a turn towards more fiery shades this spring. Shades of red will be appealing to many people in spring 2021 with the most popular hair color of the trend being vibrant copper reds, which are the best hue for medium to deep skin tones. That being said, all shades of red will be in this season. Everything from bold red to a more toned-down shade like strawberry will be in style.

That being said, keep in mind that shades of red usually come with a good deal of maintenance. This is because, to keep up with the intensity and brightness of the hue, you’ll want to see your colorist on a regular basis. You may want to consider getting a gloss or color-depositing conditioner which can be helpful in keeping your color fresh without a trip to the hair salon.
