2025 SOCIAL TRENDS - HAIR COLOR IS WARMING UP IN 2025!
Say goodbye to icy hues and hello to warm, rich hair colours. Golden blondes like butter, beige, honey, and strawberry are trending. Brunettes are getting deeper and more dimensional with shades like dark chocolate accented with caramel and cherry. Vibrant ginger spice is a standout, especially for deeper skin tones. And for the pastel lovers, Douce Hair colours is the go-to option for experimenting with soft fashionable pastels.
