6 Super-Flattering Hair Colors That Are About To Be Everywhere For Spring: Spiced Toffee, Bronde And More

4. Buttery Blonde

Next on the list for 2023 trendy hair colors is the softest buttery blonde you’ve ever seen — a shade that celebrities like Reese Witherspoon and Molly Simms love. “Buttery blonde creates a sun-kissed look that will be popular in 2023,” Udoh says. “This shade of blonde provides the perfect warmth while still looking natural and effortless. Buttery blonde is popular because it provides a natural-looking, sun-kissed hue that looks great on all skin tones.” With that said, Udoh cautions that this color will look best on lighter skin tones.

If buttery blonde is a little too light for you, Udoh says sun-kissed highlights will also be all the rage in 2023. “This multi-dimensional look can be customized to flatter any hair type or face shape, making it the perfect choice for anyone who wants an updated style,” she says.

5. Cherry Cola

The shade with the best name of all is a popular choice for celebs like Rihanna because it incorporates a few different hair colors and is very versatile — you can customize it to be a bit darker, a bit lighter, a bit more red, etc. “Cherry cola is a deep burgundy color perfect for anyone looking to make a bold statement with their look,” Udoh says.

“The color has hints of both brown and red, providing plenty of depth and dimension. Cherry cola offers a sophisticated, vivid look that adds depth to any hairstyle.” According to Udoh, this shade most suits those with medium to dark skin tones.

6. Smoky Silver

Love metallic shades? Why not extend that love to your strands? “Smoky silver is an edgy hue that will be sought after in the next year,” Udoh says.

“The color is a mix of cool tones, creating a slightly metallic finish that can add depth to any look. Smoky silver is perfect for creating an elegant and timeless feel with just the right sparkle. [It] suits those with grey or silver hair who want a more low-maintenance look.”

Things To Know Before Trying These Shades 

It’s always a great idea to cut out photos of celebs and models killing it in the shade of your dreams. And a great stylist and colorist can chat with you about maintenance expectations and how much of a pleasure (or hassle) that specific shade will be for your natural hair color. But there are also a few more things to consider when weighing the pros and cons of these flattering trend hair colors. 

“Before changing your hair to one of the upcoming trendy colors, it is important to consider your natural skin tone and eye color,” Udoh says. “You should keep in mind what kind of maintenance would be required for that specific hue.

For instance, darker shades, such as cherry cola, tend to fade faster than lighter shades, requiring more frequent touch-ups. Regarding buttery blonde and sun-kissed highlights, both may require regular toning sessions at the salon to maintain their vibrancy and prevent any brassiness from occurring.

Smoky silver or dusty rose hues tend to become dry and brittle due to the lack of moisture in their formula; thus, nourishing treatments such as deep conditioning masks at least once a week.”
