Bubblegum Pink

Inspired by those tape dispensers of bubble gum we devoured as kids; bubblegum pink is as sweet as hair shades come. Plus, the hue is customizable, so you can wear it as vivid or as pastel as you prefer—just like you’d do with your lip color.

Plays well with: A refreshing dry shampoo that extends the time between fantasy color touch-ups.

Try: Redken Deep Clean Dry Shampoo Jumbo

Sparkly

Makeup reviews on social media have made an excellent case for keeping a clear, sparkly lipstick on hand—and if silver glitter had a hair counterpart, it would be this icy platinum. Whether on the lips or hair, platinum brings the drama for a night out and looks chic on everyone.

Plays well with A purple toning spray that neutralizes unwanted yellow undertones.

Try: Matrix So Silver All-In-One Toning Leave-In Spray

Creamy Taupe

Some of us prefer a more understated hair and lip combo, and nude shades are here to elevate your look without the fuss. From pale taupes to rich browns, this French-inspired movement is about finding a neutral shade that enhances your complexion without overwhelming it. Work with your stylist to find your perfect low-key nude color.

Plays well with: A bond-repairing mask that offsets the bleach used to achieve a high taupe lift.

Try: Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatment

Rose Gold

If matching your lipstick and hair color to your jewelry is more your thing, shoot your shot with rose gold. A whirlwind of blonde, pink, and gold notes creates a bespoke iridescent shade that can flatter any complexion.

Plays well with: A hydrating treatment that helps dyed hair retain moisture.

Try: Biolage Professional Ultra Hydra Source Deep Treatment Pack

Mauve

Regarding subtle fashion colors, mauve’s purple and pink tones make for a colorful and dimensional look that is equally suitable for cool and warm undertones. Love this look? Ask your colorist about mixing Redken Shades EQ Hair Gloss in 06VRo Mauve Rose, 08VRo Rose Quartz, and a capful of Pastel Pink.

Plays well with: A split-end mender that keeps colored-treated hair unbothered by breakage.

Try: Matrix Total Results Instacure Anti-Breakage Porosity Spray

Merlot

For those who want to go red without abandoning their dark locks, let us introduce you to merlot. The rich wine-inspired shade is as bold on the pout as in the hair. Cheers to that!

Plays well with: A multi-tasking heat protectant that won’t dull your merlot color during hot tool use.

Try: L’Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Color 10 in 1 Multi-Purpose Spray

Tangerine

A flashy orange mane will turn heads wherever you go. Nail the color by matching it to your undertones. Cool skin will fare best with pastels, reddish-oranges, and corals, while warm complexions will stun in terracotta, yellow-orange, copper, and golden oranges.

Plays well with: A color-preserving shampoo and conditioner that stops bright orange from fading fast.

Try: Matrix Total Results Keep Me Vivid Shampoo + Conditioner Duo

Deep Plum

We believe that vampy dark lips look amazing on just about everyone—it’s all about having enough confidence to rock it. The same goes for plum strands. If you’re uncertain whether the rich purple shade is for you, a balayage is an ideal way to test the waters.

Plays well with: A shine-enhancing oil that sharpens the contrast between plum ends and a brunette base.

Try: Kérastase Elixir Ultime L’Huile Original Hair Oil

Crimson

Crimson is synonymous with a cult classic lip color. When it comes to hair, a crimson shade mixes equal parts deep brown and vibrant fiery red for a one-of-a-kind color that packs a big punch.

Plays well with: A moisturizing hair gel that defines the dimensional color of crimson curls.

Try: Mizani True Textures Perfect Coil Oil Gel
