Hair Color Ideas is a website for anyone who loves hair color and hairstyling. We collect and organize hair color ideas and hair design inspiration so you can find a look that fits you, whether you want a small change or a completely new style.
Who We Are
We are a small team of hair enthusiasts who spend a lot of time looking at color trends, classic styles, and new techniques. We are not a salon, and we do not sell hair services. Our job is to help you picture what is possible, understand the differences between shades and techniques, and walk into your appointment, or your bathroom, with a clear idea in mind.
What You Will Find Here
Our articles cover hair color by shade, including blonde, brunette, red and copper, and black and dark hair, as well as pastel and fantasy colors and techniques like balayage, highlights, and ombre. You will also find hair design ideas for short, medium, and long hair, for curly and wavy hair, for women over 50, and for braids, buns, and updos. Each article explains who a style tends to suit, how much upkeep it usually needs, and what to ask your stylist for.
How We Choose Ideas
We look for styles that are wearable in real life, not only on a photo shoot. We favor ideas that work across different hair types and skin tones, and we try to include both low-maintenance and bold options. Where a color or technique needs regular care, we say so plainly, so you can decide before you commit.
A Note Before You Color
Hair is different for everyone. A shade that looks perfect in a photo may look different on your hair, depending on your natural color, how often you have colored it before, and the condition of your hair. If you are unsure, talk to a professional stylist first, and always follow the instructions on any color product you use. If you have questions or a suggestion for a topic we should cover, please write to us through our Contact Us page. We enjoy hearing what readers are planning for their hair.
