Hair Colour in Singapore: What's In and What Out

It’s a new year, and hair trends and hair colour preferences are constantly evolving. With ever-changing trends, people in Singapore often choose their hair colour based on what's popular on social media or what celebrities and icons are wearing.


As of January, we’ve noticed that more customers at our hair salon in Singapore are leaning toward natural-looking, low-maintenance hair colours. Many have been opting for brown shades such as ash brown, chestnut, caramel, brunette, and bronde. These colours are popular because they are versatile, complement daily outfits, and are subtle enough for office settings.

While these are the current trending hair colours at our salons, our customers still consider factors such as skin tone, face shape, and lifestyle when choosing their ideal shade.

If you're thinking about changing your hair colour this season but aren’t sure what to get, you’re in the right place. In this article, we’ll discuss the hair colours trending in Singapore and those that are gradually losing traction. We hope you find this helpful!

If you don’t see a hair colour that feels perfect for you, don’t worry, our hairdressers can provide personalised recommendations based on your skin tone at any of our branches islandwide.

What’s in?

1. Ash Brown

Ash brown is undoubtedly a crowd favorite. It is a cool-toned brown with subtle gray undertones, making it ideal for individuals with fair to medium skin tones. To achieve this hair colour, bleaching may be required, especially if your natural hair colour is very dark.

We recommend getting this hair colour in Singapore if you’re looking for something polished and versatile. This shade is office-friendly and effortlessly complements outfits for various occasions.

2. Chestnut Brown

Another hair colour in Singapore that has been gaining a lot of traction lately is Chestnut Brown. To achieve this hair colour, warm brown with hints of red undertones is used by our hairdressers at our hair salon in Singapore. This will not necessarily require you to bleach your hair.  It is ideal if you’ve been eyeing a brown hair colour that won’t require frequent salon visits for retouching and doesn’t require bleaching.

3. Caramel Brown

Another brown hair colour that typically doesn’t require bleaching is caramel brown. To perfect this hair colour, our hairdressers use warm brown shades. If you want to add dimension to your hair, you may opt for golden caramel highlights (do note that highlights will require bleaching). This hair colour suits individuals with fair to medium skin tones and those who prefer a sun-kissed look.

4. Brunette

If you are eyeing a hair colour that looks luxurious and polished, brunette might just be the hair colour for you! To attain this look, our hairdressers at our hair salon in Singapore combine brunette colours with highlights to make your hair stand out. This is perfect for those with fair to deep skin tones.

5. Bronde

If you want a natural-looking hair colour that is still striking, bronde might be suitable for you! As the name suggests, a bronde hair colour combines both brown and blonde shades. This hair colour suits individuals with medium to fair skin tones. Since our hairdressers at our hair salon in Singapore will use a blonde hair colour shade to achieve this, bleaching will definitely be required.

What’s out?

Since we have noticed an increasing demand for natural-looking, sun-kissed, and low-maintenance hair colours, the following are hair colours that were once very popular but are now less frequently requested by our customers.

1. Overly bleached blondes

Overly bleached blonde hair colours, such as those with icy white tones, are part of this list. This is likely because this hair colour requires frequent salon visits for root touch-ups and deep conditioning to maintain its look.

2. Neon colours

Second on the list are bold neon colours. Since the majority of our customers are working professionals, they tend to avoid loud colours that require more time and effort to maintain.

3. Jet Black

Since the majority of Singaporeans are born with naturally dark hair, many customers prefer something different yet still subtle, like brown hair colours. We have noticed that fewer customers have been opting for jet black hair at our hair salon in Singapore.
