Whether you’re after a fresh update or a complete transformation, these season’s colour trends are all about embracing individuality.


Blonde Highlights with Dark Roots

Blonde highlights paired with dark roots are the perfect balance between effortless and edgy. This look adds depth and texture, giving your hair a sun-kissed lift without losing that natural, masculine edge. The darker base is extremely low maintenance, and the lighter streaks add dimension by catching the light. Whether you go for soft, blended highlights for a subtle transition or bolder streaks for a statement finish, this colour is a great choice as it suits all cuts, from textured crops to longer waves making it a laid-back yet stylish choice.



Grey Blending

Grey blending is one of the most refined and low-key colour trends for men. Instead of covering up natural greys, this technique works with them to soft the contrast between silver strands and your natural base colour. The result is a seamless, salt-and-pepper effect that looks sophisticated and mature without appearing overly styled. It’s ideal for men who want to embrace their natural colour evolution while maintaining a polished, modern edge.



Chestnut Brown

Chestnut brown is the go-to shade for men looking to warm up their look. Rich and versatile, this colour combines deep brunette tones with subtle hints of red and gold, creating a natural warmth. It adds instant depth and dimension, giving hair a healthy, polished finish without feeling overly styled. This shade works beautifully on most skin tones and pairs perfectly with textured cuts or longer, laid-back styles. Whether you’re refreshing your natural brown or going darker for a bold seasonal update, chestnut brown brings a refined, masculine edge.



Creative Colours

For those who like to stand out, creative colours are taking centre stage. Think cool-toned pastels, deeper hues and smoky, muted versions of bold shades like icy blue, violet, forest green, or even frosted copper. These tones offer a striking contrast that feels both modern and expressive. Whether you go for a full-colour transformation or subtle highlights, creative colours let you showcase individuality while keeping things stylish. With the right tone and placement, even vivid shades can look refined and wearable.
