6 Vibrant Hair Colour Trends for 2024

Trend 1: Go Garnet

Last year, Garnet-coloured hair had its most significant resurgence since Cheryl Cole debuted those iconic scarlet locks on The X Factor back in 2011.

Now, with Dua Lipa leading the trend with her stunning crimson look, as seen at this year's BRIT awards, clients will undoubtedly be looking to replicate Dua's striking red hair this year.
