4 Trending Hair Colors Making Big Waves In 2013

A brash and bold spirit unites 2013’s hair color trends. Many of them are styles that would not have been easily accepted not very long ago. The colors this year are certainly not for the faint of heart – the hottest styles lend themselves to a kind of versatile self-expression that hasn’t been seen for a while.

#1 Ombre Color

Both Drew Barrymore and Ashlee Simpson have both been seen wearing this trendy color style. The Ombre is a style defined by a longer hairstyle with a dark to light color graduation with the darkest point being at the top of the head. The color graduation can be subtle or severe, the choice is yours. Although it is commonly sought after by brunettes, even women with darker blonde hair can make this style work.  Ask your stylist which color combinations would make this style work best for you.

#2 Punky Pastels

Previously only acceptable on teens and punk rockers, pastel hues like pale turquoise, powder pink, and wispy violet are becoming common. Some site the influence of pop stars like Nicki Minaj, while others say the outlandish styles are influenced by the novel and film series The Hunger Games. Wild colors are in, and even some of the more staid salons are beginning to carry them. There are many ways to incorporate these wild bright colors into your look.  The more daring choose a full head single process color, while others are pairing it with the Ombre style or adding a few panels of brightness to their color.

#3 Flashy Reds
