While your skin care and makeup routines may be top of mind as the temperatures start to rise during the transition from winter to spring, your hair deserves a little revival, too! In fact, we’re firm believers that spring is the perfect time to consider trying a completely new hair hue. And with so many hot hair colors on the beauty scene right now, the timing couldn’t be any more perfect! Keep reading to discover the latest and greatest in trendy hair colors for spring 2017—and learn how to care for color-treated hair.

1. Deep Chocolate Brown

What once was purely an autumn hair color has quickly turned into a must-have for spring. As with many hair colors, chocolate brown is not a one and done hue—rather, it’s customizable to fit whoever wears it. If you decide to opt for this darker shade this spring, be sure to ask your stylist for a variation that perfectly complements your skin tone.

2. Pastel Golden Blonde

Think: a lighter, brighter golden blonde. It’s no secret that blonde has always been a go-to color for the transition into spring. This year it’s all about keeping the sun-kissed blonde vibrant yet toned down by adding face-framing pale babylights and slightly lighter ends.

3. Strawberry Blonde

If you’re a natural blonde who wants to experiment with color without going too crazy, strawberry blonde fits the bill. Since it’s still lined with golden tones, it can add warmth to your face. This particular shade tends to look best on those with fair skin.

4. Nude Blonde

Think of a baby born with natural blonde hair: Essentially, that’s what nude hair looks like. With the perfect mix of blonde hues, the nude hair trend is all about matching your tresses to your skin for a super-modern, monotone look. And with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars rocking this shade, we can’t help but want to, too!

5. Honey Blonde

Bordering between blonde and brown, this neutral hair color takes nude hair one step further by incorporating brown hues. Depending on your skin tone, more blonde or brown highlights can be added to really make your complexion and eyes pop.

6. Sombré

2016 was all about ombré—and while we’re not sure that trend will ever fully go away, a new, subtler rendition of it is taking the limelight this spring. Allow us to introduce you to sombré hair. This hair color consists of a super-subtle transition from a deeper tone to a lighter one for a totally multi-dimensional look that’s not quite as contrasting as its ombré counterpart.

7. Platinum

Subtlety not quite your thing? What better way to make a beauty statement than with platinum blonde locks? This super-light, almost white hair color will instantly brighten your appearance for a look that not only deserves to be ogled over but demands it.

8. Blorange Hair

If you loved the pastel hair trend of 2016, then get excited because 2017’s newest dreamy hue is all about the combination of pastel red, orange, and rose gold shades. Together, these colors create a beautiful custom effect that closely resembles a blood orange hue. Unlike rose gold or purely red hair, blorange hair is all about incorporating peachy hues to add loads of warmth to your end look. The best part? This hit hair color looks fabulous on all skin tones!

How to Care for Your Newly Colored Locks

Once you’ve nailed down your new ‘do for spring 2017, just remember that your color-treated hair may require a little extra TLC. So, reach for a system of shampoo and conditioner formulated for color-treated hair, like the L’Oréal Paris Hair Expert Color Vibrancy Intensive Shampoo and L’Oréal Paris Hair Expert Color Vibrancy Intensive Conditioner when you’re in the shower. And once or twice a week, swap out the conditioner for the L’Oréal Paris Hair Expert Color Vibrancy Intensive Ultra Recovery Mask. Happy spring—and happy coloring!
