16 Best At-Home Hair Color & Hair Dye Boxes in 2020


If social media has anything to say about it, we’re all starting to wonder what the best at-home hair color is. Call it self-care or feeling stir crazy, but with hair salons closed for the time being because of the coronavirus pandemic, learning how to dye your hair at home is suddenly sounding better by the minute.

Luckily, it’s easier than ever, as both salon and drugstore hair dye brands have stepped up their game, and there are tons of options for tinting, dyeing, and refreshing your hair in the comfort of your own bathroom. To really get it right, colorist Lauren Grummel says the first thing you should do is reach out to your stylist, since they can help recommend a touch-up option (thank them by Venmo’ing a consultation fee or buying a gift card to use for your next appointment). Some stylists are also offering video consultations, or they can help you over the phone or email.

If you want something drastic, your best bet is waiting until you can make it to the salon. When coloring your hair at home, it’s best to stay close to your natural shade, and Grummel recommends only going either two or three shades lighter or darker. She also says to consider the tone of your hair (cool, warm, neutral) and stick with dye in the same shade family. Another thing to consider? “It’s typically easier to go darker at home, as long as your only going about two to three shades darker,” says Grummel. “You can’t go from platinum to dark brown—it will look very flat and murky.”

She also recommends sticking to glosses and tints at home, since it will be much easier (and cheaper) for your salon to fix if something goes wrong. Another way to avoid a costly fix is only touching up the color around your hairline, and one inch on either side of your part. Two things you should either leave to the pros or attempt with serious caution? Doing your own highlights or going platinum. “Whether its breakage or brassiness, so much can go wrong here,” Grummel strongly warns. If you’re considering it, just keep in mind how much it will cost to fix if things go south.

Now that we’ve got the basics out of the way, read on for the best at-home hair color, from full-on dyes to tinted shampoos, and check out our full guide to dyeing your hair at home for more tips and tricks.

Kendall Jenner Now Has an Ombré Hair Color — Photos


Between being a model, a member of the Kardashian-Jenner brood, and a spokesperson for a styling-tool brand, Kendall Jenner‘s hair is pretty much always in the spotlight. So even if she posts an Instagram photo that has nothing to do with her hair, it can steal the show, especially when she’s sporting a look other than her signature glossy, dark-brown style. And such is the case in the series of photos she posted to Instagram on Friday, November 29.

Jenner shared three post-Thanksgiving photos in which she’s enjoying the “coziest weather”—at least Southern California’s version of it—wearing black leggings and a black turtleneck next to a beautiful pool with a view of the mountains. We see her from several angles, but it’s in the very first photo, in which her back is to the camera and she’s arching backward, that it’s apparent Jenner is currently rocking an ombré look. Her roots are her natural dark brown shade, and color shifts to a golden caramel shade toward the ends.

It’s not entirely clear if Jenner visited a colorist to intentionally give her hair color a gradient look or if this is just the natural evolution of couple of quick changes she made earlier in the fall. In September, Jenner surprised everyone by bleaching her hair, walking in London Fashion Week’s Burberry show and Milan Fashion Week’s Versace and Fendi shows with sandy blonde hair—a color we’d never seen on her without the help of a wig. And then, just a few days later, her hair was dyed back to nearly black for the Emmy Awards. And as anyone who’s ever put dark dye over a lighter color can tell you, that dark dye will inevitably fade and let the lighter tones peek through, regardless of if your hair is naturally dark to begin with.

Bur whether Jenner’s current color is an accidental or intentional ombré, it looks fantastic and is sure to send a few fans running to the salon for their own versions of the look.

Brown Ale Hair Is Fall's Coolest New Hair Color


Just as you might swap a pale summer ale for something heartier when the temperature drops, hair colors are following suit for fall. Sure, that’s nothing unusual for this time of year, but this season, thanks to hair colorist Colin Caruso, it’s a bit more, well, literal. While visiting a brewery earlier this fall, the John Paul Mitchell Systems Artistic Director of Color didn’t only kick back a few pints of brown ale—he turned it into a hair color.

Like its namesake beverage, Brown Ale hair has a deep mahogany base and swirls of amber highlights. “It’s different from traditional brunettes because of the richness and the depth it provides,” Caruso tells Glamour. “It’s warm without the brassy or mousey undertones some people associate with traditional brunettes.” He says the shade is perfect for this time of year since it’s a great way to go deeper and richer for the cold weather ahead, while still offering a touch of warmth.

To get that warmth without veering into brassy territory, Caruso emphasizes to ask your stylist for rich and warm highlights, and that dimension is key. “If you’re cautious about going darker, tell them to start slow,” he says. “Add some lowlights or drop your toner down a level or two. No need to rush—you have all winter to take the plunge.” He also recommends asking your colorist for a demi-permanent color if your hair has been damaged from your summer blond.

Another reason he says a demi-permanent color is key to this shade is because of the crazy shine it provides. “Dark hair needs to look rich and healthy, and the demi-permanent color is ammonia-free to ensure your hair is shiny and healthy,” says Caruso. He also notes that another bonus with demi-permanent color is that it only lasts six to eight weeks, which is perfect if you’re just dipping your toes into a color trend. “You get the rich healthy look of Brown Ale hair without the long term commitment, ensuring your hair will be happy, healthy, and ready for summer blonding soon enough.”

If you’re ready to cross over to the dark side (permanent or not), scroll on for some of our favorite examples of the trend, and get ready to screenshot your heart out.

Tweed Hair Is the Coolest New Color Trend for Fall


Ever since the technique went big in 2014, balayage—or, hand-painting highlights directly onto hair—has become to gold standard for natural, lived-in hair color. It’s also crucial for getting the swirling, dimensional look that makes fun color trends like Iced Coffee and Mushroom Blonde possible. While balayage is also key for getting flannel hair right, there’s a new fabric-inspired color that’s gearing up to be the next big trend for fall: tweed hair.

According to Chicago colorist Rex Jimieson, his clients have been moving away from the darker roots and lighter ends they’ve been loving in recent seasons. Instead, they’ve been asking for a look which Jimieson dubbed “tweed hair,” essentially subtle highlights that are evenly distributed. While ombré had its moment, Jimieson says now it’s about fine color woven through the whole head, not just highlighting the ends.

“A contrast is still present, but not as ‘overachiever’ as seen in recent seasons,” says Jimieson. “Bases are shifted lighter to compliment light blond strands, or the light strands are less dramatically lifted to accommodate a brunette background. We are painting balayage with foiling and single processing—even combing the techniques to create a custom fabric of complimentary colors. Our hair is a natural fiber, so think pinstripes or tweed as opposed to color-blocked, or earth tones as opposed to metallic tones.”

While it has a similar vibe to flannel hair, there are subtle differences. “Tweed uses smaller sections and exposes the natural undertones in your hair rather than removing them completely,” says Jimieson. “Flannel is more edgy, while tweed is more sophisticated. If your hair doesn’t have a lot of color build up, bleach may not even be needed to achieve the dimension and subtlety of tweed.”

Jimieson recommends the technique for people who want a more natural tone that’s still dimensional, as the contrast between the base and lightness isn’t so extreme. If you want to try the shade, ask the stylist to unify your color and start your highlights close to the roots instead of midway down your hair. The two key things to getting the trend right is a very subtle shade difference between your base and highlights, and making sure the highlights are fine to get that sophisticated look. And as always, Jimieson stresses the importance of coming with plenty of examples so you can get what you really want.

For your convenience, we pulled some of our favorite examples, below. Now all you have to do is call your salon.
