"First came edgy ombr\u00E9, then mega-watt platinum, and then fiery ginger. It seems like as soon as we get used to a new color trend, another one pops up. And with all our favorite It girls (we're lookin' at you Kylie, Demi, and Emma) constantly experimenting with bleach and dye, we obviously have been, too.\n\nSo now that we've tried every color under the sun, what's next? We caught up with hair gurus Aura Friedman, color pro at Sally Hershberger Downtown, Roxie Darling, hair color specialist at Hairstory, and Rachel Bodt, senior colorist at Cutler Salon, to get their predictions for the next big trends. Now's a good time to put your salon on speed dial.\n\nThe new natural\n\n After seeing our fave flan-haired models like Sasha Luss (colored by Darling) and Aline Weber (colored by Friedman) with brand new honey-brown hues backstage at NYFW, we had to find out if a return to a more natural palette is in store for the season. \"We're going to start seeing a softer, more natural, sun-kissed surfer vibe rather than extreme ombr\u00E9,\" says Friedman. \"There will, of course, be newcomers to the platinum trend, but many of the girls who are platinum now will be going to a more natural highlighted blonde,\" she adds. Even though platinum is nowhere near extinct (Zosia Mamet just joined Lena Dunham on the super-light side), we can expect a more toned-down moment.\n\n\"For me, it's about taking the crazy colors we've seen and creating more subtle, nuanced casts of them,\" says Darling. \"Color that doesn't shock, but rather makes you think.\"\n\nWhat does that mean for your new 'do? \"There will be a lot of beautiful honey browns and variations of gold on blondes, brunettes, and redheads. Instead of ombr\u00E9, we'll see ribbons of hair color\u2014not just on the ends and definitely not stripey!\" says Bodt. \"I love golden, wheaty colors. They're very Cara Delevingne with soft ribbons of light within,\" she adds.\n\nSome really cool tech innovations\n\n Since hair color is bigger than ever, there are constant advancements that make the process easier and less damaging. Friedman, for example, is able to take clients to the platinum extreme thanks to a new technology called Olaplex. \"You add it to lightener or color, and it stops the color or bleach from breaking down the bonds of the hair. It makes hair so much stronger. Everyone should ask their colorist to use it,\" she explains.\n\nFor Darling, it's all about the cult-favorite, suds-free Purely Perfect Cleansing Creme. \"It has changed my career,\" she says. \"Without detergent, Cleansing Creme protects color and returns hair to a more natural, balanced state. Since the hair is intrinsically healthier, I can push the limits of bleach and color.\" This means saying goodbye to shampoo as you know it, and hello to rainbow hair without harmful consequences.\n\nTextured color\n\n If you think you've seen all there is to see as far as hair hues go, think again. According to Bodt, textured color (check out the gorgeous pastel streaks she created for the Badgley Mischka S/S 2015 show) is going to be all the rage. \"I've been applying the color slightly unsaturated throughout the strand of hair, so it looks more like crushed velvet. It has an antique feel,\" she says. \"I'm currently playing with glow-in-blacklight hair and making some fun films that will show it off,\" says Friedman.\n\n\"In the past you only saw certain colors in three places: editorial spreads, wigs, and cartoons,\" says Darling. Well, times, they are a-changing. \"Now we've manipulated things to a point where you see 'fictional hair' on the street. You can be whatever character you'd like\u2014in the right hands.\"\n\nAccording to Bodt, those pastels you've been loving to experiment with are actually the new neutral. \"I think one thing all girls should try is putting a soft pastel gloss all over your whole head, like lavender, dusty rose, or mint green. It washes out quickly and is a fun, pretty way to try color without the commitment.\"\n\nNow that we know what's in store for color, how do you choose your next dye job? \"Don't be afraid to express yourself,\" says Friedman. \"Just be sure that whatever color you choose suits your skin tone, eye and brow color, and your personal style!\"\n\nBottom line? Don't take it too seriously\u2014and take plenty of selfies."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
