The seasons are shifting and as the sun starts to beat brighter, hair color trends are following suit with a new direction because as we head into Spring/Summer 2025, the tones are all about warmth. Leading the way are any shades with a hint of Copper—from soft strawberry to bold, warm bronze, copper hair is officially the shade of the season.

2025: A New Season of Warmth

The forecast for Spring/Summer 2025 is heading towards glowy, radiant, and rich color all with warm undertones. Think luminous strawberry blondes and cherry-infused reds—but it’s copper that’s stealing the spotlight. Offering a stunning middle ground between red and blonde, copper delivers dimension, brightness, and a wearable warmth that flatters every skin tone.

Whether you’re leaning toward soft and subtle or bold and brazen, there’s a copper tone to match your energy and each variation provides a way to embrace the trend while still keeping a bespoke style.
