We look forward to a new year just as much as the next person, but the reason why may be different. What excites us most is discovering all the hair trends we can expect. This new year is no exception, with stunning shades and sleek styles, we’ve got much to look forward to. Below, we rounded up some of the biggest color and style trends to expect in 2026.
Roasted Chestnut Auburn
We’re seeing an influx of combination shades in 2026, including mixing red and brunette. Roasted Chestnut Auburn is a cozy shade that combines the rich base of chestnut with the vibrant pops of auburn, similar to chestnuts roasting on an open fire (hence the name). We have just the shade for your clients looking for added length or volume in the new year with our Dark Chestnut Auburn #30/33, which is available in Hybrid Weft, I-Link, Kera-Link, Signature Tape-In, and Halo extensions.
Caramel Delight Brunette
Brunette shades are still in style, but this year, they’re getting some added dimension. Enter Caramel Delight Brunette. Liven up your base with caramel highlights that expertly catch the light to draw in everyone’s attention. You can test out the shade first with help from our Rooted Ombre #2-6/10 extensions.
Iced Out Blonde
Platinum blonde is going icy in 2026. Think futuristic, metallic takes on the bright blonde hair color. As we lean into high-tech aesthetics this year and beyond, our beauty choices will reflect that by being, well, reflective. Cool Platinum Blonde #80A is the shade to emulate on your clients or yourself.
Whiskey-Drenched Bronde
Bronde is the ideal shade for clients who want the brightness of blonde without the maintenance. This year, it’s getting a bit of an upgrade with Whiskey-Drenched Bronde. Focused on more gold and brown undertones, this shade is even easier to keep up with than your typical bronde. Try our Light Ash #12 shade to give it some added warmth.
Sculptural Updos
Think art for your hair. Sculptural updos are all about unique twists, folds, and bends that create a sculpture with your hair. Some of us are not blessed with length, nor do we want to hairspray our natural hair to the heavens. That's where our extensions come into play. Use our 100% Remy human hair to create the style first, then attach it to your hair without causing any damage. We recommend our Clip-Ins for a seamless process.
