For Indian brides, a bit of brown, caramel, or if you’re rather daring, pastel pink, is enough to define any hairstyle you choose for your big day. This year, the hair colour trends vary—you can either go edgy or you can keep things subtle. We have you covered either way. Check out our picks of some of the coolest and most interesting bridal hair colour trends you can sport on your big day.
Trend #1: Candlelit Brunette
This hair colour trend uses dark hues of brown that blend naturally into your dark hair. It’s not chunky, doesn’t leave hair looking streaky, and definitely leaves your locks with a glossy finish. If you’re thinking of wearing your hair in waves for your wedding (or the celebrations leading up to it), this hair colour is perfect for you!
Trend #2: Expensive Honey
One of the hottest hair colour trends of the summer, expensive honey uses a sandy beige hue on your locks. This low maintenance hair colour trend uses soft, warm, and rich hues of honey blonde and caramel to create a multi-tone dimension to your hair. While this hair colour trend tends to pop more on blonde hair, it also blends very well with darker Indian hair.
Trend #3: Dusty Rose Brown
Another hair colour trend that is a little edgy and off-beat, this one incorporates undertones of rose gold, purple, and brown. On brown or black hair, the shades come together to either offer a hint of pink to your hair. You can either go full global with this hair colour, or opt for an ombre from the mid-lengths of your locks.
Trend #4: Rich Burgundy
On brunette hair, this hair colour trend is probably one of the coolest and hottest to go with for your big day. The blend of deep purple and red hues can either be worn as highlights, as an ombre, or a full balayage.
Trend #5: Chocolate Brown & Caramel Balayage
If you are looking to amp up your bridal beauty look without going all-out, then chocolate brown is a safe bet for you. This hue looks classy and also gives your locks the perfect pop of colour without going overboard. You can either go with one hue of dark brown, or mix it up with a caramel too. Perfect for the bride who wants to play it safe, this hair colour trend offers a glossy sunkissed look to your hair and is best suited for those warmer or neutral skin undertones.
Trend #6: Face Framing Highlights
Face framing highlights basically involve highlights that are a few tones lighter than your hair’s base colour and are usually focused around the front of your face. This is great for the bride who doesn’t want to go all out with highlights, but still wants to give her bridal look a bit of a makeover. It’s non-commital and low maintenance too. The highlights help soften the features of your face, contours it, and even adds a subtle definition.
