Beautiful red

Red is always going to be fashionable. If you are a natural redhead, then you are in luck. If not, your best bet is to dye your hair so it seems as natural as it can be. Red hair gives a warm glow to your skin’s undertone without washing you out. Natural red and auburn is going to be all the rage in 2020.

Caramel highlights are another trend, carrying over from 2019. These warm tones will definitely compliment any undertone. What’s more, they are a great fun addition if you think brown is boring, but are too afraid to have a drastic hair color change.

The power of the ombre

If you are feeling adventurous you can even mix more than two colors. Why not? People are always afraid to try new things, but the good news is your hair will grow out and your natural hair will always be there. So, do not be afraid to try anything!

Keep it simple with a rich black color

Keep it natural with a dark color

Now, if your hair is naturally black, unfortunately, we have bad news for you. Highlights are your only option, however, don’t expect miracles. It is very difficult to highlight black hair. On the other hand, black will always be a timeless look and color. So, if you have a natural black hair, keep it and take care of it. It is truly beautiful. If not, but you want to color it black, then this is also very easy to do and upkeep. The dark color will cover any other color, so you are lucky.

Dark roots

Dark roots are all the hype. If you have a naturally dark hair, but you are dying it blonde, we have good news for you. If you don’t have the time or finances to dye it properly any time your roots grow out, then that is no longer a problem. Darker roots, also knows as shadow roots are just the thing to try in 2020.
