With the arrival of the colder months, changing your hair color becomes a tempting option; a moody, richer hue always seems to go hand in hand with the darker, cozier weather. In fact, a change of color can be exactly the shift you didn’t know you needed: a way to embrace the natural rhythms of nature and time while also enlivening your vibe. If this idea speaks to you, here are some of the dreamiest shades to try for Winter 2025, as seen on celebrities and runways alike.
4 Hair Color Trends for Winter 2025
This favorite of Emily Ratajkowski and Selena Gomez stays flawless without the need for continuous salon visits. As seen on the runways of Chanel, J.Salinas, and Etro, its deep richness makes it an ideal shade to accompany colder days. The magic lies in its warmth, which prevents the face from looking washed-out. Think: dark cocoa, mocha coffee, or molten brunette.
For brunettes who have always wanted to be blonde but can’t bring themselves to go too light, and dark blondes who want to bring depth to their locks, golden brown is the perfect choice. Characteristic of 1990s icons like Cindy Crawford and Jennifer Lopez, this mix features a light brown base with toffee-honey highlights that mix the brightness of blonde with the richness of brunette. The contrast provides luminosity and a sense of movement that makes hair look light and healthy, as well as a bronzed effect.
Winter 2025 hair color trends are not limited to black or brown: auburn hues also feel perfectly in tune. This season’s copper brown mixes the best of a deep brown with a warm red undertone, making it ideal for those looking for a change that doesn’t stray too far from their base.
This muted blonde is a dirty blonde with neutral tones that combines warm and cool, making it versatile and flattering for all skin tones. Think: Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne. Above all, it’s easy to maintain, whether you’re a light blonde who wants to transition to brown with some strategic balayage or vice versa.
