Spring has officially sprung, and flowers aren’t the only thing we see popping — bold hair colors also usher in the season with brilliance. From low-maintenance shades to nostalgic ’90s looks we still love, achieving a new hue starts with choosing the right Better Natured® at-home hair color and ends with maintaining your look with our Color Care products. If you want to freshen up your look and change along with the seasons, you can’t go wrong with one of the following top five spring hair color trends.
Violet Brunette
Violet brunette is a fun take on a classic brown hue, thanks to balanced red and blue tones that make this vivid color pop. Despite being on the bold side, this shade is versatile and subtle, so it’s not reserved for the wild child alone. Since violet has a cool tone and brown has a warm tone, this popular spring favorite suits warm and cool skin tones. It’s also ideal if you’re not ready to go 100 percent violet or purple.

- Tip: Achieve the ultimate natural-looking shade on 100 percent white-gray hair.
Mahogany Blonde
Mahogany blonde is an excellent choice for those who wish to dip their toe in the red hair color pond without completely forgoing their blonde tresses. While it appears as a coppery red hue with a touch of gold, this shade is still close to blonde. As it’s both a warm and cool shade, it flatters several skin tones.

- Note: Gray-white hairs will cover to a level 8 Golden Blonde.

Off Black
While it looks like true black, this hue represents the darkest shade of brown and features cool, ashy notes. It’s a good choice for those who prefer a softer, more natural, almost black shade, as it falls on the border of the brown and black spectrum. With that said, it works for warm and cool undertones.
