Spring is just around the corner. Not only does spring usher in warmer temperatures, longer days, and blooming flowers—it's also the perfect excuse to test out a brand new hair color. Now that winter is almost over and you won't have to bundle up every time you leave your house, it's time to book an appointment with your colorist.

No matter what your hair color is, this season's hottest hair trends are pointing toward one thing: warmth. Adding a hint of warmth to your hair color can brighten up your whole face. This season is also the perfect time to make a bold statement with your hair color. "We went through such dreary years [with] COVID lockdowns, [the] actor's strike, writers strikes all over the world, and now I believe we are all ready for some glam, statements, and color," says Tracey Cunningham, celebrity colorist and Redken ambassador. "That all starts with our hair. It’s a tale as old as time—if you're having a good day then you have to be having a great hair day."

We talked to celebrity colorists to get the lowdown on all things hair color for spring 2024, and we also took inspiration from our favorite celebrities. Keep reading for the 30 best hair colors to try this spring, including inspiration pictures to show your colorist once you're at the salon.

Apricot blonde is an easy way to try a more muted take on the classic strawberry blonde, and it’s set to be one of the biggest hair colors of the season. Instead of an overall red tint, apricot blonde adds warmth while still squarely falling into the blonde category. "It’s a fun and sexy yet natural looking color," says celebrity hair colorist and Olaplex Global Brand Ambassador Jenna Perry.

Strawberry Blonde

Though apricot blonde will have a moment, strawberry blonde isn’t going anywhere this season. Deep red has been having a moment, but if you want to lighten it up for spring, strawberry blonde is a playful way to do that. “It’s a lighter, flirtier version of the deeper reds we’ve been seeing in the cold winter months,” says Perry.

Burgundy Tinted

A hint of burgundy on dark hair adds just the right amount of intrigue. It’s also an incredibly easy and low-commitment hair color to try. Mix in a product like IGK’s Color Depositing Mask to get the look at home.

Raven
