With her years of experience and expertise, we asked Jessica to share her thoughts on the latest hair color trends and what fresh ideas are making waves in the industry. Here's what she had to say:
Spring trends for 2024 are going to give us all natural looking sun kissed vibes. The money piece trend is here and not going anywhere fast. A money piece is what most are calling the bright hairs around your face. I’ve seen this trend on blondes as well as brunettes. This Spring we will also see very dimensional brunettes and all the shades in between, mostly with a darker root. I think some vivids will hang around, but in very soft and subtle ways.
Warm and sunny spring is right around the corner. It is best if you meet and greet the new season with new inspiring hair color! Care to learn which trends are there in store for you? Keep reading!

Here is what the hair colorist, who created such a fantastic look, Ash Fortis, about this color:

That is why if you wish not to lag behind the celebrities just let your hair grow without dyeing it too often. In case, this way out does not really suit you; you can always ask your hair stylist to add some extra dark shade to the root area while dyeing the rest of your hair blonde. A charming balayage will also suit the goal well too. Besides when it comes to the length – you can sport this spring’s look regardless!

It is true that such techniques as balayage and highlighting seem to go nowhere. But when spring 2024 hits there will be a little change to the trend. As we predict the full balayage hairstyles are pushed away to wait for summer, and when spring comes, it is time to play around a little. What does that mean? That means that if you decide to go for balayage – add it just to the front so that it frames your face best and nothing more. We must admit that the effect is mouth watering – that is for sure!

Besides giving an effortless look with a stunning smooth blend of shades, balayage has something more for you to offer. When going for this technique, you can ask your stylist for strategic highlights at the front. In this way, you will get yourself a fabulous framing touch achieved through the lighter color. And don’t worry, the highlighted front won’t look too drastic against the whole look, as balayage is all about seamless transitions.

The roots are dyed darker initially, so you won’t need to retouch them too often. Also, ashy gray is an extremely versatile color, as it flatters basically any skin tone. Though, the trickiest part is to get the desired color right. Thus, ensure that your hair stylist is skilled enough to prepare your locks and mix hair dyes properly.
