The Top Hair Hair Color Trends of 2020

Despite the name, this look has nothing to do with Robert Pattinson—but rather, Selena Gomez. “It’s a mix of babylights and ombré highlights,” explains Brown. “They should look very subtle but create a natural, dimensional look. Think a brunette with golden undertones that grows out very nicely.”

Dua Lipa recently brought back the brunette on the bottom, blonde on top look, famously worn by Christina Aguilera in the early 2000s. “This look gives you lots of dimension and edge,” says Brown. “It’s for the adventurous person who’s not afraid to make a statement.”

Almost a cross between brunette and red, this color looks a little different in every light. “The neutral brown tones make this color very wearable, but it still makes you standout,” says Brown. Look to Kendall Jenner's much-hyped color change at the end of 2019 at the hands of Cassondra Kaeding for inspo.

Imagine a "less drastic" version of the overdone highlights from the ‘90s and ‘00s, says Brown. Even better, she says the look "works really well on curlier hair," as Jennifer Lopez demonstrates here.

Roots feel less harsh against warmer undertones than, say, platinum. “I've been seeing blondes [like client Kate McKinnon] opting for a rooted look lately,” observes Brown. “It’s lower maintenance than single-process, and the effect is still bright.”

Don’t be surprised to see Pantone’s color of the year make its way into the hair world, says Brown. Her expert tip? Use the bold hue to help transition out of platinum, while hair is still growing out. “Classic Blue is on the ashier side so it will help neutralize any gold tones you want to camouflage,” she explains.

Expect this 2019 trend to stay strong—and evolve. “Adding a little bit of a root to it gives it a little more edge, while still being low-maintenance,” says Brown. She adds that “because it’s a warm neutral with some ashy lighter bits, it works on most skin tones.”
