The year 2025 brings a breath of fresh air to the world of hair color.

Celebrities and stylists are already showing which shades and techniques will dominate next year – and we have already summarized it for you.
Our Forecast: These hair Colors Will Trend in 2025
Mocha Mousse
The color experts at Pantone have chosen “Mocha Mousse” as the shade of the year for 2025 – and this warm, chocolaty brown shade is sure to become a favorite in hair salons, too. What makes it so special? Mocha Mousse combines rich coffee nuances with soft caramel highlights, creating a look that is both classic and modern. The color flatters almost every skin tone and creates a luxurious shine reminiscent of liquid chocolate.
It’s no wonder that influencers and stars like Hailey Bieber have already discovered this shade for themselves. If you want to get in on the trend, use multidimensional coloring techniques to add depth and movement to your hair – making Mocha Mousse the ultimate statement for the coming season.
Copencore
What was once Paris or London is now Copenhagen – in fashion terms. This is where the latest trends are created. A very specific aesthetic has developed within the Danish fashion scene: It’s a look that emphasizes practicality and is predominantly found in muted colors, visually highlighted by bright accessories. Vogue has already aptly named it “Copencore.”
However, we go one step further and see this aesthetic not only in the fashion sector but also in hairdressing salons. A trick used by Nordic beauties: the ‘Scandi hairline.’ It is the best way to make your blonde mane shine even blonder. Hollywood favorites, such as It Girl Sofia Richie, are already sporting this casual look. Blonde highlights are (usually) worked into the hair. The highlight: the highlights are only applied to the hairline, i.e., the front sections of the hairline. This frames the face perfectly and lightens the blonde in a way that looks very natural.
Not in the mood for highlights? Then greige is also very Copencore. The trendy hair color for 2025 combines cool blonde tones with warm nuances to create an elegant grey beige. This look is based on ash blonde hair that is enhanced and reinterpreted with subtle beige tones. Super natural and chic – just the way the Scandi girls love it!
Glossy Black – The Snow White Look
Contrasts are not only a fashion trend in 2025 but also a hair color trend! If platinum blonde doesn’t appeal to you, how about pitch black? A gloss effect will give you a healthy and radiant look. Glossy black is extremely versatile and harmonizes perfectly with most skin tones and hairstyles, thanks to its different shades.
This trend is perfect for anyone looking for a timeless and elegant look. To enjoy the gloss effect for a long time, the right care is crucial. We recommend regular glossing between coloring sessions. You should also use special gloss shampoos and conditioners to maintain and enhance the shine of your hair.
Platinum Blonde
Stars like Beyoncé and Khloé Kardashian have already discovered it for themselves in the past! In 2025, platinum blonde will undoubtedly be the hair trend that catches everyone’s eye. This particularly light and cool hair color will add a touch of glamour and a contemporary twist to your look. Regardless of whether you have a light or dark complexion or which hairstyle you prefer, platinum blonde is extremely versatile and suits almost any look.
The only catch is that platinum blonde requires intensive care. Be sure to use shampoos and conditioners that provide your hair with the necessary moisture and care for blonde hair. Unfortunately, regular re-coloring is essential to maintain the desired color intensity of this hair trend. However, it will be a little looser in 2025, and a shadow root (deliberately darker coloring at the roots) is allowed.
Cowboy Copper
After bright red was worn by almost all superstars – we’re thinking of Megan Fox or Dua Lipa here – it will be a little more subtle on our heads in 2025. Despite the wild name, Cowboy Copper isn’t all that turbulent.
Instead of limiting itself exclusively to pure copper tones with golden accents, the new development draws on brunette undertones to create a fascinating mix of dark brown tones and warm red. The reference to the color of leather creates an association with cowboys, which gives the hair color its original name.

Beige Blonde
Goodbye, gaudy tones – hello, elegance! In 2025, we are saying goodbye to extremely yellowish-blonde shades and opting for natural, soft beige tones instead. Particularly in focus: the creamy toffee shade. This shade, inspired by the sweet of the same name, is less golden than caramel and impresses with its subtle, cool character.
This makes the look not only more chic but also more versatile. A professional tip for long-lasting color freshness: silver shampoo helps to preserve the coveted anti-yellowing effect and keeps hair radiantly beautiful.
