Emerging from the dreary winter color palette is a time to be celebrated. As spring arrives, everything from the great outdoors themselves to your lipstick adopts brighter, cheerier hues. The biggest focus on trendy spring colors here at Inscape Beauty Salon naturally falls on hair colors. While traditionally a time of year that warrants lighter, more vibrant hues, explore this season’s emerging trends for inspirationL

1.Ring Lighting Hair

Instagram is one of the biggest predictors of trendy new styles. This is particularly true when it comes to hair color. Recently, influences have been spotted sporting a unique mix of highlights which have been dubbed as “ring lighting”. Essentially, strategic highlights are placed to mimic the look that is produced by high-quality ring lights during photo shoots. This consists of an ultra-bright set of money piece highlights in the front, along with highlights on the sides and at the nape of the neck-- all of the places that a ring light illuminates. The base color at the top of the head and throughout the back is a darker hue.

2.Blue Jeans

The blue jeans (or denim) hair color trend focuses on applying the blue/gray hue of a faded pair of jeans to the hair. Unlike pastel or deep blues, the color is subtle in a way that one wouldn’t expect from blue toned hair. It is an ideal look for those who want something drastically different from the norm without a traditional in-your-face, bold color. Because of its subdued nature, it can be pulled off easily by any skin tone; however, it will require significant lighting for those starting with a dark base color.

3.Hazel Blonde

Hazel blonde is a sandy hue that falls in the space between blonde and brunette. The neutral hue is a subtle change for those who want to go slightly lighter or darker than their current base color. The shade is easy to maintain and provides a flattering glow to all skin tones.

4.Deep Base with Babylights

Brunettes who are looking to add a little brightness and warmth to their color for the spring season can find what they are looking for with babylights. Babylights are a form of highlights, but are much thinner than traditional ones. This avoids the streaky look and gives a more natural sunkissed illusion. While most brunettes opt to add in a dark blonde hue, the same effect can be created using a caramel toned brown.

5.Wine Red

Although reds and coppers typically steal the show in autumn, this deep wine red shade is carrying over to spring. A mix of red and purple, the color is rich yet maintains a certain level of subtleness. It is universally flattering, but requires more maintenance than some other trends of the season. To keep the hue from fading, invest in a color safe shampoo and conditioner and rinse the hair with cold water.
