While we'll never be particularly excited about the sun setting at 4 p.m., winter is hands-down the most exciting season when it comes to hair. Glamorous hairstyles and winter hair colors debut at holiday parties and awards season red carpets, providing plenty of inspo for the next dye job.
So, what's on deck to dazzle this winter? Experts report a subtle approach to color with nuanced, personalized shades. "Hair color trends have shifted in a more natural direction," celebrity hairstylist Gonn Kinoshita says. "And this winter, I've noticed colors like golden copper and honey blond - shades that feel natural and neutral." Think of it like transitioning your base shade into a richer, cozier version of itself.
Whether you're looking for the luxe take on your natural hair color (like espresso brunette and lacquer black) or wanting a bold change (icy blue, anyone?), we tapped a handful of experts to share their favorite winter hair color ideas. From winter hair colors for blonds, brunettes, and everyone in between, keep scrolling to read their picks for the best winter hair colors of 2025.
