This bronde-influenced look is a mix of light and dark shades, creating the same effect as a delicious cinnamon swirl – after all, who wouldn’t want their hair to resemble one of those little swirls of heaven? The look brings together warm shades of honey, nutmeg, and cinnamon, to blur the line between blonde and brunette hair.

But what makes this look so special, is that with its hand painted pieces of colour, it’ll instantly enhance both your facial features and your haircut. We seriously can’t wait to try it! Credit: @kolorbykat

Burgundy

As of late, deep red hues have been all the rage. And with its perfect balance of beautiful deep red and purple hues, bold burgundy locks have become a huge trend this year!

This look may be suitable for lighter-coloured tresses, but we happen to think it looks especially great when worn with a naturally dark brown base. Quick, there’s no time to waste, which way to the nearest salon? Credit: @jordyatbelleshea

Platinum blonde

As soon as Taylor Swift stepped out with her platinum blonde ‘do a few seasons back, we knew this would become one of the hottest hair trends for 2016 and beyond!

So, if you’re looking for a bold change, embracing this cool-girl look could be just what your new look needs. Or better yet, why not try white blonde hair for winter? It has to be one of the chicest ways to rock bleached hair!  Credit: @jean_watts

Editor’s tip: Whenever you dye your locks, don’t forget to switch your wash and care system for one that’s been specially formulated with coloured hair in mind. We suggest trying the Dove Colour Care Shampoo and Conditioner, to keep your coloured locks looking vibrant for longer.
