The Top 2025 Hair Color Trends Are Straight Out of Film Noir

A brand-new look can be a big boon to your confidence, preparing you for what 2025 has in store.

Whether your style is more aligned with a just-got-back-from-the-beach vibe or the dark academia aesthetic, “This is achieved through glossing and/or toning, which can add rich color.”

For blondes, the pros are seeing a shift toward warmer shades.     In fact, not one colorist cited icy-cool blonde as an upcoming trend .     We see inspiration pulled from the leading ladies of films from the master of horror, while quieter trends like smoky bronze and warm marigold offer a more polished modernity.   “They’re seeking the comfort and ease of looking like themselves, but at their very best.”

Brunettes, on the other hand, will see coppery boosts in the form of delicate balayage highlights.   Truer reds are also on the horizon, though they’re much subtler than in previous years.   They’ll be peeking out via deep-red undertones beneath rich espresso bases.

There’s also good news for those who have the urge to do something dramatic.   If you prefer all-over color in bright, nature-defying hues, rest assured that you have options.  Vibrant jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire, and blue are set to dominate the hair color scene in 2025.
