OPRAH MAGAZINE: The Top Hair Color Trends for 2020, According to Stylists

If you've ever taken the plunge on a bob or dyed your hair, you know that salon visit is filled with a wide range of emotions. The thought of a fresh look is exciting. But if you're trying something entirely new—like a gorgeous gray shade—there's probably also a part of you that worries you won't like the result. Our advice? Baby steps. That doesn't mean you have to play it totally safe with a more expected color like the universally flattering chestnut; it just means you should do a little research. Before any mix ever touches your strands, take a look at these top hair dye ideas for 2020, narrow down your favorites, then head to the salon with plenty of inspiration pictures. (Or, if you're going DIY, experiment with these at-home hues.) To help steer you in the right direction, we asked stylists to forecast this year's most popular color trends.

Tweed

Colorists are moving back towards higher integrity colors, promoting glossy and strong hair, says Kate Reid, design director of COLOR.ME by KEVIN.MURPHY. You'll see more styles like Jennifer Aniston's popping up. They have more depth in between the blonde balayage, foliage, or highlights, which creates more of a tweed finish—a look that's perfect for the cooler months.

Tumeric Latte

As the months get cooler, traditionally blonde celebs like Margot Robbie are going warmer with golds and apricots being more predominate, says Reid. Adding this type warmth to the hair has the added benefit of making skin look healthier and more youthful, she says.
