Red for the daring
It has been a few seasons since the red has imposed itself on our hair. After having been put aside for a long time, the baeuté of this coloring was put forward thanks to celebrities with flamboyant hair – colored or natural – such as Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Bella Thorne or even Maeva Coucke.

Chocolate, already trending last year, is making a comeback this year. Its warm reflections will illuminate mat complexions and bring depth to your hair. Mocha brown is also In this season.

Whether it's icy brown hair or a coppery red, you can bring an air of renewal with what's called a nude balayage. Concretely, you will lighten a few strands of your hair by two to three tones maximum so that they are slightly lighter than your natural base. The goal is to bring light to your hair and by extension to your face without bringing warm or cold undertones to your color, on the contrary, they will be neutral, which allows all hair colors to do this. coloring, or rather discoloration.
Hair coloring trend: hair contouring and sweeping
When we talk about coloring, we are generally talking about color for the whole hair. But not everyone wants to bleach or add pigments to all their hair. There are then partial coloring techniques such as tie and dye, streaks or ombré hair. And as with colors, they also respond to trends. This year, balayage and hair contouring are the ones you should adopt. Balayage is ideal for bringing warm, cool or neutral undertones to a hair color and giving it depth, by doing a caramel balayage on brown hair. It’s also a great way to transition into hair color. For example, before going for a honey blonde, you can do a honey balayage on brown or auburn hair.
Hair contouring, which was very trendy last year, is coming back in 2021. And this is not very surprising, because it is a coloring technique that brings light to your hair, while remaining very natural. The hairdresser, or the colorist, will play with the tones, bringing light around your face and darkening the ends. But depending on the shape of your face and the length and shape of your hair, hair contouring will not be the same. The hairdresser adapts to you to create nuances in your hair, it's a bit like contouring makeup on your face. The result: your hair will look fuller and have more depth.
What hairstyle to adopt to highlight your color?
Hairstyles are essential for styling to suit your hair color. Whether you are more team fringe or team wick on the side, you can highlight your color very simply, but also quickly. If you've done a balayage, ombre, or hair color that brings highlights to your color, go for curls. A curly hairstyle will allow you to highlight the different shades of a color. On the other hand, if your color is dark enough, like a chocolate or a mocha, you can smoothly smooth it out which will add shine. In any case, if you decide to heat your hair, consider putting on a heat protector to protect the hair fiber. This is even more important when the hair is colored, because it is already sensitized.
