As the days get longer and the flowers start to bloom, spring brings a sense of renewal so what better way to embrace the season than with a fresh new hair colour? Spring is the perfect time to brighten up your look, experiment with lighter tones, and add a little warmth and vibrancy to your hair. But with so many options, how do you choose the right hair colour for spring? Whether you’re looking to go bold or keep it subtle, we’ve got the ultimate guide to help you select your perfect spring shade!
Many of our clients feel inspired to lighten up their colour as the weather warms, but it’s important to find a hue that complements your skin tone and personal style. Below are our top recommendations for choosing a hair colour that will have you looking and feeling your best this spring:
Match Your Hair Colour to Your Skin Tone
When picking a spring hair colour, one of the most important factors is ensuring that the shade complements your skin tone. A well-matched colour can enhance your features and bring out a natural glow. Here’s a quick guide to get you started:
- Fair Skin: Light blondes, cool pastels, and ash tones can work beautifully with fair skin, while soft, warm shades like honey or strawberry blonde can add a bit of brightness.
- Medium Skin: Opt for caramel, bronde (a blend of brown and blonde), or warm golden highlights that bring warmth and dimension to your look.
- Olive and Dark Skin: Deep, rich colours like chocolate brown, warm chestnut, or vibrant coppers can create a stunning contrast and enhance your natural warmth.
If you’re unsure which shade suits you best, your stylist can help guide you toward the perfect match based on your complexion and undertones.
Lighten Up for a Sun-Kissed Glow
Spring is all about fresh starts, and if you’re looking to update your look, blonde shades are always a favourite for spring, and this season is no different. Warmer tones like honey blonde and soft beige blonde add a gentle radiance, perfect for embracing the lighter mood of spring. If you’re going for a bolder look, platinum blonde is still very much in style, offering a bright and striking finish.
It’s important to keep your blonde locks healthy, so we suggest using Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector to strengthen and repair any damage caused by lightening. This treatment restores the hair’s bonds and keeps your blonde looking fresh and vibrant.
Warm Up Your Brunette with Golden Highlights
Brunettes can easily embrace spring by adding warmth and dimension to their colour. Subtle caramel highlights or a golden brown balayage can give dark hair a fresh, sun-kissed refresh. For those wanting a subtle change, bronde is an excellent option that enhances natural brown tones and provides a gentle transition into the lighter, sunnier months ahead.
To maintain the richness of your brunette colour and add shine, we love Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Conditioner. This luxurious conditioner nourishes and protects your hair while keeping it glossy and soft.
Experiment with Soft Pastels
Spring is all about fun, and if you’re looking to try something different, why not play with soft pastel shades? Light pinks, soft lilacs, or peach tones are trending this season, offering a playful, fresh update to your look. Pastel colours are perfect for anyone wanting to try something bold yet subtle for spring.
For colour longevity and vibrancy, don’t forget to use Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo to keep your pastel hue looking fresh and to repair any damage from colouring.
Protect Your Hair from the Elements
Springtime means more time outdoors, but exposure to the sun and fluctuating weather conditions can be harsh on colour-treated hair. To keep your hair protected, we recommend using Kérastase Soleil Crème UV Sublime. This leave-in treatment not only shields your hair from UV rays but also keeps your locks nourished, soft, and vibrant throughout the season!
Spring is the season of renewal, so why not let your hair be part of that fresh start? With the right colour and proper care, you’ll be ready to step into the season feeling vibrant, confident, and completely refreshed.
