We are all looking forward to changing something in our look every time the New Year rolls in. And in 2018, there are still a lot of women who would like to try something new when it comes to their hair. You’ve probably been looking at fashion shows to see models sporting new hairstyles and hair color and are wondering which one to try out this year. Well, there are quite a lot of options for you to choose from especially when you have long hair and for sure, you will love these new hair trends for 2018.

Salt and pepper hair

Noticed that your hair is starting to become grey already? Well, you can turn it to your advantage by transforming your hair into salt and pepper. This combination is actually easy to pull off with your long hair by dyeing parts of your hair in black and white or grey. The changing colors will give your hair that extra beauty especially when you tie in your hair in a braid.

Contrasting roots

If you don’t want to worry about maintaining your hair color then try soft contrasting roots. For example, if you are switching from brunette to blonde, go for the soft brown roots and baby hairs and leaving the color of your eyebrows alone too. This gives a softer look to your hair and will reduce the need for maintenance as you grow it out.

Tiger eye

Another hair color idea to try out with your long hair is the tiger eye. What’s great about this look is that it combines honey, soft brown, and amber in a balayage technique that boosts one’s overall confidence. The beautiful combination will not make it hard for you to grow your hair longer and it will not require much maintenance too. Harsh roots won’t be a problem too when you opt for this hair color combination.

Beige

If you want a subtle shade that will go well with your skin tone then why not try beige? Instead of the usual blonde that many women love to change their hair to, opt for the softer and lighter shade of blonde. Just make sure that it is close to your skin tone to get the dramatic effect that you’re looking for.

Chocolate mauve

Who would have thought that the combination of brown and light pink is going to be stunning? If you are a brunette who would like to change up your hair color then this is worth a shot. The light pink gives a different kind of highlight to your hair and will work beautifully for those with long locks. Just make sure that they are done properly to get the most out of this color combination.

Peanut butter and jelly

Yes, your favorite sandwich combination can also be used on your hair. What’s great about this hair color idea is that it this two-tone look combines golden brown with shades of purple. You’ll see that your hair resembles that of peanut butter and jelly with every toss of your head.

Nude hair

It’s nice to give your hair a makeover for 2018 but if you don’t want to be bothered with maintenance then nude hair is worth a shot. The goal of this hair color is to be soft and natural to complement your skin tone. This is actually a good shade if you are aiming for something subtle but would still look good on you. 

These hair color ideas are just perfect for those who want or need a change this new year. If you want to get the most of these shades, have a professional do your hair for you.
