Hair colors make a powerful statement. From fiery red to copper-hued or sleek black hues, stunning hair colors stand out and catch people’s eyes. But which hair hues are most desired among their peers?
Recent poll results reveal that men prefer blondes over brunettes; however, more and more women are opting for darker hues.
Jessica Biel’s brown hair color
Jessica Biel may prefer blonde hues, but that hasn’t stopped her from exploring a variety of hair colors. At this week’s 2018 Makers Conference in Los Angeles, her go-to stylist Adir Abergel and colorist Tracey Cunningham helped create a light chocolate brown style which caught our eye.
The bronde hue straddles the line between brunette and blond, with honey highlights adding warmth to her complexion. Though not drastically different than her regular chestnut locks, this change certainly adds depth and variety to her look.
Men generally found blondes more desirable, although some found brunettes more so. Brunettes actually ranked slightly higher than redheads in this survey – it all depends on personal taste!
Amy Adams’ strawberry blonde hair color
Strawberry blonde may be just what you need if you want to add some reddish-blonde warmth into your look, making for an attractive hue suitable for medium to dark skin tones, with it looking fantastic with any haircut or style.
Amy Adams has made it no secret she favors this shade, and it shows in her appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscar party where she looked radiant with a cool-tone strawberry blonde balayage that perfectly complimented her mermaid waves and emerald green dress.
Christina Hendricks, Emma Stone and Rachel McAdams all favor rosy hues – from blonde and red hues with lots of warm caramel undertones to the striking combination of both shades – making rosy the ideal hue to stand out this summer.
Lily Aldridge’s brown hair color
Lily Aldridge of Victoria Secret model fame always looks beautiful whether she’s rocking her trademark cascading brunette waves on the runway or pulling back her sleek locks into a chic chignon. Recently, however, she underwent an exciting transformation when Panos Papandrianos gave her shoulder-length bob an authentic platinum blonde balayage treatment courtesy of his talent in hair care.
The result is a fresh and bright hue that appears effortless on our model. Her strands feature subtle but warm lighting to add dimension and depth.
If you want to give this trend a try, ask your colorist to match the base of your hair before adding sun-kissed lighter sections at the crown and ends for a custom blend that complements your complexion perfectly. This way you get an amazing multi-tonal hue designed exclusively for you.
Kate Middleton’s screaming hair color
As Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton has much on her plate: raising two young children, advocating for early childhood development programs and more. However, she still finds time to experiment with her hair color by changing its shape or adding subtle highlights to her dark brown mane.
In 2019, she attempted a more subtle variation on red by opting for an auburn hue at her roots that faded gradually to brown by the ends. She still maintained her classic side-part and luxurious curls.
But in 2021 she truly made waves when she decided to add honey-bronde highlights to her chestnut brown hair using the balayage technique; which uses sweeping highlights rather than full dye.
Jessica Chastain’s splendid hair color
Burgundy may not be for everyone, but it can certainly add some drama and flair to your look. Wear this hue straight or curled, with blonde highlights to accentuate its rich red tones and take the fear out of bold fashion statements!
Gigi Hadid’s gorgeous auburn locks harken back to her character Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones. While not as dark, they still look stunning against her blue eyes.
If you’re a brunette, try adding strawberry blonde highlights to your hair for something unique and eye-catching. Easy to maintain and flattering across any skin tone, strawberry blonde highlights will help set yourself apart from the rest!
