We love the opportunity to reinvent ourselves each season, so obviously we’re always here for a jumpstart on the winter hair colours that will be taking off once autumn ebbs away.
Of course, the colder, darker months tend to see the temperature dip when it comes to hair colours, with deep chocolate tones and cinnamon reds getting more requests at the hair salon, but to counter-attack the grey days ahead, a new rendition of red is already climbing the charts and it’s not shy, or demure. The experts are pin-pointing show-stopper vibro reds as the one to watch in winter. Elsewhere, there’s plenty of ways to wear blonde, whether you want to prolong some warmth with a golden sunflower blonde, or you fancy a cooler icing sugar tone.
Wherever your mood take you, these are the winter hair colours to know for 2024…
Sunflower blonde
One way to keep the warmth going in the winter months is with a warm-toned hair shade. “This year we are seeing a lot of yellow undertones in blondes,” says Dean Harris, colourist at Larry King South Kensington.
“Colours that have that warm reflect that will make the hair appear vivid and healthy during a season where the skies are grey and there is little sun,” he says. Top hair stylist and trend forecaster, Tom Smith agrees. “For the third consecutive season this intensely golden shade [sunflower blonde] will continue reigning as the most popular blonde shade,” he says. “The glow of a golden blonde [can] light up a room,” he says, and it’ll “brighten up the grey days ahead as the weather cools,” says Tom.

Cafe au lait
We’re seeing a collision between blonde and brunette with a stunning neutral in-betweener shade stealing loads of attention. “The 2024 winter colour trends will see those natural brunettes having soft caramel and biscuit tones, whether that’s with babylights or more of a dimensional balayage, both keeping maintenance low,” notes Sophia Karayiannis, colourist at Larry King Notting Hill.
