Trending shade

Soft coffee-brown sweeps on a darker base. Grows out with no visible line, which is why it tops the trend lists.

Pick your length and your texture. We will tell you what actually works on it, and what to ask for.

We say who a style is wrong for
A look that is everywhere this season is not automatically a look that works on fine hair or tight curls. We name which is which.
We count the upkeep
A colour needing a salon visit every six weeks is a different decision from one that grows out gracefully. You get told which you are choosing.
We write for every texture
Straight through to 4C, teens through to sixty-plus. Each guide names its audience so you are not left guessing.
Our editorial policy sets out how guides are researched, reviewed and updated. We earn commission on some links, explained in our affiliate disclosure, and it never changes what we recommend.
One email. Every Thursday.
New styles for your hair type, seasonal colour worth trying, and the tools actually worth buying.
