PSA: These Will Be the 5 Hottest Hair Colors of Spring 2021

We're just days away from the official start of spring, but let's face it: The birds certainly don't seem to be chirping with the same carefree vigor as years prior. Times are weird, to say the least, but we're keeping our spirits high by setting our sights on all the impending beauty trends we're most excited to debut once the tide turns. And right now, we're gearing up for a much-needed seasonal hair color shift.

Spring is the perfect time to revamp your hair color, but selecting a hue can be tricky. We called in colorist and MyDentity brand founder Guy Tang—who you might also know as the resident hairstylist on Netlfix's Bling Empire—to give us his take on the spring hair colors that are about to blow up.

Tang informed us that he's sensing a shift toward soft blondes, dynamic browns, and some unexpected mauve hues. Ahead, check out the five spring-appropriate hair colors Tang is calling out and get his expert tips for making your color last longer, too.

"As people transition to spring, I love the idea of a soft, delicate blonde is so refreshing as we come out of a very dark and gray winter."

"This spring season, instead of the usual pastels I think you’ll be seeing a lot more of these muted mauve-y tones. This color is great because it is easy to add as a subtle highlight for added dimension, or you can go bolder."

"You will see more people continue to embrace fun fashion tones but doing it with a soft veil making the looks more subtle and wearable for spring. This technique is all about sectioning and color placement to best accent the face."

"2021 is all about dimension! This spring, it’s time to bring some brightness to these brunette tones. The backcomb highlighting technique is the perfect way to add brightness to your natural brunette color without going blonde. These tones can easily be adjusted to your complexion (warmer or cooler)."

"Over the past year, while in quarantine, people really started to experiment with bold, bright hair color! I find with my clients, that as soon as someone starts coloring their hair this way, they never go back. An important thing to know about going bold? Cold showers are in your future! Washing your hair with cold water is a must to keep longevity of your hair color."
