Once warm weather starts to hit, it’ll finally be time to shed our cozy, cold-weather hats and let our heads (and hair) feel a little lighter. And often, that requires a salon appointment and fresh spring hair color. "This is usually the time when my clients start wanting to lighten things up," says Emily Claire, a Brooklyn-based colorist and educator. "This doesn’t have to be a dramatic transition; it could be something as simple as going from jet black to a soft, dark brown."
Whether you're in the mood to freshen up your signature shade, throw in some chic streaks, or revamp your entire look, it's the perfect time to experiment. Curious what's on trend? I checked in with my favorite beauty experts and celebrity stylists for their insight on the hair color trends getting the most attention on the red carpet, in their styling chairs, and on our feeds. PSA: I also asked all your burning questions about how to care for your new color at home because honestly, that's just as important as the dye job itself.
