In the last three-plus years, hair colour went from boxed hair dye and grown-out roots to some semblance of normalcy. Now, as we look ahead to the new year, experts say the best new hair colour ideas you'll see in 2024 will lean one of two ways: either very low-key or kicked up 10 octaves.

"Like golden rays of sunshine, this warm blonde colour exudes the essence of effortless beauty, reminiscent of a summer day with hints of Cara Delevigne's captivating charm and Sienna Miller's timeless elegance," he tells POPSUGAR UK.
On the other hand "lived-in" colours are becoming a popular request, according to Sophie Cabell from House of Keune by Bloom, who tells us that the shades fit perfectly into the low-maintenance trends that champion effortless beauty.
"With softer, more natural roots, the grow-out process is less noticeable, allowing for longer intervals between salon visits," she says. "This appeals to clients seeking a chic yet practical look this spring and summer."
