Are you guys ready for some 2020 hair trends? Is your hair?
This year, we’re doing a lot of contrast with hair — both in terms of trends, and literally on your head. 2020 is definitely the year for bold, beautiful, and retro hair.
Dark brown is everything right now
Otherwise known as “milk chocolate” hair, medium to dark brown hair is one of the most sought-after shades right now.
Pairing it with another hair trend, AKA long bangs, will guarantee a solid 2020 look.
Fairytale hair
How is this different from unicorn hair, you ask?
Listen… I truly don’t know, but the trend forecasters say fairytale hair is in, and here we are. Instead of layers of color, fairytale hair blends strong colors together.
Subtle pops of color
For those who prefer to keep it more low-key with your wild hair colors, this trend might be for you.
This purple-blonde look was done by layering in rose gold through the strands and more bold colors at the roots and tips.
Ditch the platinum
While platinum isn’t out, warmer blonde tones are definitely in .
Honey blonde is an upcoming hair trend that hits that happy middle between brown and blonde. Brb, buying some box dye ASAP.
Rich chocolate shades? They might be for you.
If you’re feeling a rich, dark color scheme, the dark chocolate trend is definitely up your alley.
Thanks to that singular all-over color, it’ll be super easy to maintain — even for the laziest among us (AKA me).
Mermaid Hair
Say goodbye to unicorn hair — mermaid hair is where it’s at.
Mermaid hair involves a more complex type of color blending, sometimes involving using multiple colors on a single strand!
Neon extensions
This look pairs two 2020 trends: neon extensions, and braids.
For those who can’t commit to putting their hair through the neon dye process, extensions are a great way to go.
Dip-dye ends
Yup, they’re back.
This iteration of dip-dye ends is all about that bluntness. 2020 is all about geometric hair shapes — round ‘fros and blunt bangs. For the dip-dye trend, it’s the lack of blending that makes it fresh.
Caramel highlights
Caramel everything , really — that color is hitting it big in 2020, thanks to its richness and its warmth.
If you’re not into highlights, another big trend no highlight at all. A one-color look is the name of the game, and caramel would look amazing with that trend.
Silver blonde
Silver hair has been everywhere the last few years, but now it’s being elevated by incorporating some softer blonde into it.
Red is back in town
Gingers rejoice: red is back and better than ever.
While the color has been back on the trending pages for a while now, it’s strawberry blonde that is taking center stage for 2020.
Weird roots
You can thank the likes of Billie Eilish for this one.
Her lime-green roots have been the talk of the internet, as well as her unintentional mullet .
I am happy to report the mullet is not making a comeback in 2020, so rest easy.
Neon, neon, neon
This Kylie look is super on-trend for two reasons. For one, it incorporates the bright neon colors we’re seeing everywhere, and it includes one of the trendiest throwback styles: the curled bob.
Yup, the days of your mom flipping your ends under are back.
“Shadow” roots
For most of us, this just means ombré. However, stylists are forecasting that darker roots that blend with your natural color in a more pronounced way are totally in right now.
Bonus points for another big 2020 trend: pearls!
The classic pastel
Pastels in hair have survived to trend another year. Lilac is still in, as is pink and rose gold tones.
For this look, decorative hair accessories were added. Those are a huge trend for 2020, so look out for them!
