The 13 Best Spring Hair Color Trends, According to the Pros (2025)

The spring season can serve as the perfect time to start anew with a new hair color—and this season's trending spring hair colors are proving to be some of the most exciting shades yet.

“There’s going to be a bunch of fun trending colors this spring,” says Cassondra Kaeding, the Los Angeles-based celebrity colorist who counts Kourtney Kardashian and Sophie Turner as regular clients. “We’ve seen celebrities stepping totally out of their comfort zone.”

There will be classic shades of red, caramel, and whatever TikTok has deemed worthy of our attention (yes, we'll dive right into the cherry cola of it all), but this spring asks for more elevated spins on some of our favorite colors. And while there are options for those wanting to stick to brighter blonde shades, most experts agree that this spring is all about warmth and deep hues. “Everybody is different, [but] a lot of people right now want to go red or dark,” says celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham.

Below are the eight shades that the experts say will be trending this spring, along with the best tips on how to take care of a new dye job. Read on to see the best hair color ideas and feel inspired.

Chantilly Cream

A very pretty pale blonde hue with bright white tones, Chantilly cream is a color that Cunningham predicts will be huge for those wanting to go light and bright with their hair. Something like Beyoncé's take on the shade gives an ethereal glow for spring.

Red Hot

There’s something just so alluring about red hair, which is why celebrity hair colorist Jacob Schwartz, who counts the likes of Margot Robbie, Brie Larson, and Sydney Sweeney as regular clientele, says that vibrant hues of this popular hair color will continue to be huge for spring.

But if you’re thinking of doing a drastic change from your natural shade to hop on this trend, it’s important to note that this isn’t a low-maintenance shade and may require frequent salon visits. Schwartz recommends getting your roots done for touch-ups or adding a vibrant gloss all over every four to six weeks. “Red fades really fast and the roots show quickly,” he says. “So that’s something to consider before you make the jump to the red side.” For an at-home solution, he recommends something like the Schwarzkopf Professional Igora Vibrance, which he says comes in a variety of tones for everyone.

“You can expect a continuous growth in warm tones and reds,” adds Cunningham. “Tons of my clients have been going red over the past year as the trend has taken hold. I took Emma Stone red and her shade is quintessential cowboy copper.”

Teddy Bear Bronde

The popular blonde and brunette hair hybrid (a.k.a. bronde) gets a warmer update this spring—just look to Zendaya. Cunningham says she sees more clients asking for that perfect blend of these two shades. We can expect richer and deeper tones of bronde to take over.

To keep color looking fresh and to repair any damage to color-treated hair, she says to use a good hair mask like the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate 5 Minute Liquid Mask. It gives hair deep hydration and helps repair damage in just under five minutes.

Vibrant Silver

If you’re all about embracing your natural hair color and leaning in with the gray, you’re in luck. Cunningham says that spring is prime time for a silver renaissance. “The silver trend has gained momentum ever since the pandemic and people were unable to color their roots and hair. While bronde and reds are showing up everywhere, silver is a trend you see popping up, too,” she says. “Clients are tapping silver and gray tonight services to transform, condition, and neutralize their existing grays.” She recommends the Redken Acidic Color Gloss Activated Glass Gloss Treatment to enhance the gray tones in your base color and give it more dimension.

Expensive Brunette

Quiet luxury is here to stay. Schwartz and celebrity colorist Jenna Perry both say that the rich brunette shade you saw everywhere last year will continue its reign this spring. Whether you’re going for ‘90s nostalgia a la Penelope Cruz’s luscious chocolate blowout or Bieber’s Chocolate Syrup hue, it’s all about going deep and dark with this brown hair color. “All the hot girls are doing it,” says Perry.

For upkeep and proper haircare, Perry recommends using the Olaplex no. 7 Bonding Hair Oil. If you want to give it max volume or that effortless tousled, dark brown hair look, she loves spraying the new Roz Air Thickening Spray.

California Blonde

Effortlessly cool, a California blonde shade is what colorist and co-owner of IGK Salon Olivia Casanova predicts will be huge this spring. She says to look to icons like Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, whose natural-looking golden shades are grounded with blonde roots.

Walnut Brown

If you’re looking for something a bit more understated than the bold expensive brunette, Casanova suggests trying a walnut brown, as seen here on Taylor Hill. It’s a medium shade with subtle golden undertones that’s just super pretty.

Terracotta Red

Red will still be a staple this spring. Casanova recommends something more muted and natural looking, like a terracotta red. She describes it as a natural shade of copper brown and you can look to someone like Sadie Sink for needed inspo.

To keep hair looking vibrant, she recommends something like the Davines’s Alchemic Line, which includes gentle color depositing shampoo and conditioner. “They have everything from blondes to reds,” she says.

Cherry Cola

Of all the TikTok hair color trends, all experts agree that it is cherry cola that will continue to trend well into the spring (and probably beyond). “I think Cherry Cola is such a popular red color because it’s lower maintenance and can involve less bleaching and lightening than other red shades,” says Casanova. Think of cherry cola as red hair, but with an edge with its deep burgundy and or red wine tint to dark hair, a la Dua Lipa.

Golden Silvers

As predicted for colors to watch out for in 2025, golden silver shades will dominate everywhere. Cunningham once told Vogue that these can be seen as platinum and icy silver shades paired with warm gold undertones to give you a soft, blended effect.

Sunkissed Bronde

Another 2025 hair color trend experts love, a sunkissed blonde will dominate spring. “[Bronde] the perfect blend of blonde and brunette that feels effortless, but still looks put together,” Kaeding once told Vogue. “I see it paired with those lived-in blonde shades too—soft, natural, and a little sun-kissed.”

Bright Bombshell

Blonde for spring is inevitable, and many of our favorite celebs are making the drastic change. Most recently, Millie Bobby Brown ditched her signature brunette for a bombshell blonde with lush long layers.

Citrus Twist

We’re all about updating the classics. Earlier this year, Kristen Stewart went back to bleached blonde hair—but with something we like to call the citrus twist. Orange tones at the the roots and tips add depth and dimension, but in a cool effortless way.
