The Top 4 Hair-Color Trends That Will Rule 2020

Of the not-so-fun adult appointments to check off your list before the new year (a physical, teeth cleaning, a trip to the post office to renew your passport...), the most exciting one to block into your iCal has to be a few hours at the hair salon with your colorist.
Once your appointment is booked, it's time to decide exactly what you're going to ask for — because the new year calls for a fresh change, and a few simple highlights just won't do. The best way to start your planning? With an inside peek at the biggest color trend predictions for 2020.
From the milk-chocolate tone every brunette celeb is trying right now to a remix on rooted blonde and twinkly copper babylights we're calling Orchard Red, the pros break down the four major hair-color trends set to take off in 2020, ahead.

Orchard Red 

This year, we saw flashes of bright-red hair hit the trend reports, but nothing like the shimmering, multidimensional take about to blow up in 2020. Colorist Karissa Schaudt is calling the accent shade Orchard Red because, like an apple, it contains both golden copper and auburn undertones. "With balayage blending, you can get that subtle pop of reflective red that adds instant richness to any base shade," Schaudt explains.
