As the year-end festivities approach, there’s a palpable desire for change and renewal—and the easiest way to completely refresh your look is with a new hair colour. From rich, warm tones that feel luxurious to subtle, sun-kissed shades that brighten the complexion, the colour trends in Singapore right now are all about sophisticated, wearable beauty.
So, what are the most requested shades in top salons? We spoke to our expert colourists to get the inside scoop. Here are the five hair colour trends you’ll be seeing everywhere.
1. “Milk Tea” Ash Brown
This trend, hugely popular across Asia, is the perfect blend of cool and warm tones. It’s a creamy, beige-brown with ashy undertones that is incredibly flattering on a wide range of skin tones. It’s softer than a harsh blonde but more modern and dimensional than a flat brown. To achieve this clean, ashy result without brassiness, you need a Singapore hairstylist who is a true master of colour theory.
2. Copper & “Cowboy Copper”
Rich, warm tones are having a major moment. From vibrant, spicy copper to the slightly more subdued “Cowboy Copper” (a mix of brunette and auburn), these shades are warm, inviting, and make a confident statement. They look particularly stunning in the sun and add an incredible warmth to the complexion.
3. The Subtle “Money Piece”
For those who want a low-commitment change with high impact, the “money piece” is the perfect choice. This involves adding a few subtle, face-framing highlights right at the front of your hairline. It instantly brightens your face and adds dimension, creating the effect of a mini-balayage without colouring your whole head. It’s a quick service that a skilled hairstylist in Singapore can perfect.
4. Glossy Espresso & Liquid Black
Sometimes, the biggest statement is the healthiest one. Instead of going lighter, many are opting for deep, rich, single-process colours like espresso brown or a glossy, liquid black. The key to this trend is shine. The focus is on hair health, with stylists recommending clear glossing treatments to create a mirror-like, reflective surface that makes the hair look incredibly luxurious and chic.
5. Peekaboo Highlights
This is the trend for the playful professional. Peekaboo colour involves placing a pop of a contrasting shade—whether it’s a bold fashion colour like blue or a more subtle caramel—on the underneath layers of the hair. It’s hidden when the hair is down but reveals a fun surprise when the hair is styled or in motion. It’s the perfect way to experiment with bold colour in a low-risk way.
