As we step into 2025, the world of hair colour is embracing vibrant tones and multidimensional hues. In this blog,  Laura Elliott, head of education here at Neäl & Wølf shares the biggest hair colour trends of 2025 that will have you turning heads all year long.

1. Vanilla blonde

Vanilla blonde is a beautiful blend of light, creamy tones. This icy shade isn’t just for winter, creating a bright appearance that will make an impact throughout 2025. This shade gives a fresh look that isn’t as harsh as platinum blonde, but not as yellow as golden blonde.

2. Espresso brown

Inject some energy into your 2025 and embrace this rich brunette shade. If you’re looking to explore darker colours without venturing towards jet black, espresso brown might be for you. It creates depth and dimension, whilst adding a touch of sophistication to your style.
