Ace your winter fashion game with these expert recommended five hair-colour trends and follow these hair care tips to ensure your mane looks healthy and feels nourished through the cold, dry winter months.

This winter, turn the heat up with these five hair-colours trends recommended by Ritu Vijayvergiya, Co-Founder, 2.Oh!.

Bordeaux red

This deep, wine-colour exudes sophistication and is perfect for dark Indian hair with its rich undertone, making it the perfect choice for winter parties and holiday get-togethers. Whether you have a bob or pixie cut or if you wear your hair in longer, cascading waves, you’ll make heads turn wherever you go!

Prefer only striking highlights? bordeaux-red, with its glossy, dramatic finish is your colour! Don’t forget your weekly frizz free hair mask, to seal in moisture and make way for a beautiful fade.

Steel grey

Looking to complement your vibrant winter wardrobe with sleek, cool-toned hair? Embrace the edge and class of steel-grey that looks great as streaks, on short blunt bobs or angled lobs. Cool metallic-toned highlights are perfect for an edgy, minimalistic, winter vibe.

To achieve just the right shade of steel-grey, wash your hair with an anti-yellow shampoo before colouring your hair. This crucial step neutralises the underlying yellow tones, letting the steel colour shine through in its purest and sharpest form.

Classic red

Kim Kardashian’s recent bright red transformation is bang on trend this season, so keep up! This rich, autumn-inspired tone that exudes warmth, elegance and confidence can light up any winter look be it a casual brown boots and overcoat look, denims or even tucked in formal attire.

The colour looks stunning on long, poker-straight hair or with soft layered waves. A leave-in conditioner infused with Panthenol will keep your hair shiny, vibrant and frizz-free.

Caramel

This soft, warm tone is ideal for a soft, natural, sun-kissed look! Jennifer Lopez’s textured caramel-blonde look is currently trending and if she can carry it off on dark hair, so can you! The beauty of this colour is that it leaves the most subtle, rich fade making it ideal for those looking to extend the time between salon visits.

The best way to wear this colour is on layered hair, relaxed waves, or even as a soft balayage for effect!

Perfect for both DIY colour enthusiasts and salon regulars, caramel is versatile and low-maintenance. Weekly use of a deep-conditioning hair mask infused with Polyquaternium-7 that will prevent winter dryness and protect your mane, keeping your caramel tones radiant and moisturised.

Violet

Want a fun, playful vibe this winter? Go Violet! This vibrant, bold colour makes big curls, pixie-cuts and even poker-straight hair stand out in a crowd and turn heads! Drive away the winter blues and add a flirty, mood-uplifting edge to your winter soirees or day picnics with this hair-colour.

To maintain that deep, glossy shade of violet all winter long, use a multi-purpose styling spray infused with Panthenol, rice and soy protein. This will hydrate your hair intensely, smoothen out the frizz and add a bounce and shine to your strands.

Let your hair do all the talking in 2025! No matter what statement you want to make, there is a hair colour that lets you express yourself freely. This year, bold hair colours that reflect some spunk and bring out the rizz will make waves.

So, take your pick from these top five hair colours recommended by Ritu Vijayvergiya, Co-Founder, 2.Oh!

Mocha Mousse

Declared colour of the year for 2025, you will see a lot of the subtle yet rich brown of Mocha Mousse! If you are about everyday glam and casual flair, colour your hair in this understated yet glamorous shade that blends warm hazelnut and caramel tones to give you a naturally sunlit look. When you head out for casual work days or weekend brunches, this colour will get you a double take from admirers. Choose colours infused with micro-pure pigments to ensure your hair not only looks rich and radiant but also nourished and healthy after every wash.

Ginger Auburn

This fiery mix of copper and orange tones is perfect for all soirées but especially stands out during winter and autumn. This shade catches the light beautifully, bringing warmth and vivacity to any setting.

Whether you are attending an autumn wedding or channelling Zendaya’s look from her Swiss Alps adventure, you can pull this hue off with either soft beach waves or a loose braid for that carefree, bohemian effect.

Ash Grey

For those who thrive on edgy street style and making high-fashion statements, this shade is your ultimate power move. An electrifying blend of steel grey and toffee tones isn’t just a colour; it is a vibe that screams rule-breaker. This shade pairs perfectly with tousled waves or even short pixie hair. No matter where you go, your hair will radiate a flawless, runway-ready energy.

Strawberry Glaze

Soft, playful, and oh-so-dreamy pastel tones like pinks, lavenders, and peaches add a touch of magic to your hair. Whether you are dancing at a festival or soaking up the sun on a beach vacation, hair coloured in any of these shades will keep you looking effortlessly dreamy.

Want to add a little drama? Try a slicked-back ponytail or a high bun to let those soft hues truly shine. To keep your colour vibrant and fresh, use a purple shampoo infused with blue-violet pigments to prevent brassiness while maintaining salon-quality shine at home.

Shades of Red

For those who love to experiment with standout, daring colours, red or Bordeaux are your perfect picks. These deep, sultry tones are ideal for fancy gala nights and glamorous events. To keep your hair looking fresh and feeling silky smooth, a Behentrimonium Chloride-infused hair mask is ideal for deep hydration, ensuring your locks stay soft and glossy all day long.
