There’s nothing better than the feeling of having freshly colored hair. The confidence it brings can make us look and feel like a million dollars.
Many of us choose to up our hair game over the winter months when we’re hidden under layers and warm coats to fight off the winter chill. This will be even more relevant this year as we cover up to stay warm and to stay COVID-19 safe.
With 2020 being one of the more challenging years in recent history there’s no better time to get to the salon for a fresh color that will stand out from the pack and from around your winter facemasks.
Natural Color
With salons working at reduced capacity to try to help combat the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are opting to go for color more in line with their natural hair.
With most of us having to steer clear of the salon due to COVID-19, lots of people have come face to face with our natural colors for the first time in years. And with COVID-19 looking set to continue into 2021 many people including celebrities are choosing to embrace their natural beauty.
Choosing to go back to your natural color can be a great way to change up your look, particularly if you’ve experimented with many colors over the years.
You could also consider highlights to bring out the natural beauty to your hair color while injecting some extra sparkle to your hairdo. Many people are also embracing babylights which are similar to highlights but much more subtle. They provide a natural sunkissed look to your hair which can be perfect for those not wanting to return to the salon too soon.
Blondes
Choosing to go blond can be a great experience. It can also help to mask any root growth for any of us with a sprinkling (or more) of grey to our natural color.
A pretty golden blonde is swinging back into style thanks to the gorgeous Emma Corrin’s portrayal of Princess Di on the new season of the Crown. This is a more natural blond than the platinum and white blondes that we’ve seen grow in popularity in recent years, but much easier to incorporate with natural roots, which can be invaluable over the months to come when we are all unsure of when we’ll next get to sit in a salon chair.

Pastels and Rainbows
A lot of women are choosing to embrace the wilder look with some multicolored or pastel hair tones. With this year being a hard one, why not liven up your look with bright colors? With more of us working from home there’s never been a better time to experiment with bold colors.
If you do go for this choice it might be worth having a balayage look, so that if you can’t get into the salon over the next few months there won’t be any roots to worry about. That being said, the grown-out roots look has been in vogue for a few years now, particularly when coupled with a dusty pink or a mermaid green.
Dyeing your hair a bright color has also been shown to improve confidence and self-image. We all need a bit of a pick me up this year, so if you’re itching for change and excitement you can do no better than going bright!
