1 Colorist Breaks Down The Hottest Hair Colors New Yorkers Are Getting Right Now

Want to be blond without all the upkeep? Allow us to introduce you to this look, which is favored by breezy cool girls such as Jamie Chung and Gisele Bündchen. "This is for a low-maintenance person who just misses how their hair was as a child playing out in the sun," Brown said. Since this style mimics how sun (or old school Sun-In) naturally brightens up hair, "You want to ask for some subtle lightness framing your face."

If you have darker hair, you can still lighten up with this transitional look celebs such as Issa Rae and Amal Clooney love. "It's warm and subtle, but summery," Brown said. "It reflects the light beautifully." You can opt for an ombré highlight such as Rae's look or take the plunge and do it all over.

Think of what your favorite metallic nail colors, eye shadow, and highlighter have in common: gold. Your hair can get in on this trend, too. "This is a great look for light brunettes and blondes to try," Brown said. "It looks great with or without a tan, so it works with a variety of skin tones." While Blake Lively's go-to color requires a little more upkeep than highlights, it's still easier to maintain than more platinum blonds.

If you're a new mom like Chrissy Teigen, it can be hard to book color appointments as suggested every eight weeks. Luckily, Teigen and scores of smart dye-lovers have resorted to what Brown calls "high-up ombré," which basically entails letting your dark roots do their thing. "This look is purposefully rooted," Brown said. "This means you don't have that line or band that come when hair is growing out from highlights to the root." It works great for those with dark hair who want to brighten up, and its noncommittal hue will carry you well into Fall.
