7 recommended men's hair colors for 2023

Men's Hair Color Recommendation 1: Platinum blonde

For those with a bold personality or in need of a standout look, such as dancers, band members, or other performing artists, platinum blonde is a daring option. This high-impact color is perfect for those with prior experience in unique hair colors. Asian celebrities like Nick Chou and G-Dragon have sported platinum blonde, creating memorable impressions and boosting their style. However, as mentioned before, people with darker skin tones should avoid this shade.

Although trying platinum blonde requires a significant leap, the advantage is that you won’t have to worry about fading into other shades. Just maintain the color with a color-depositing shampoo like "White" to prevent it from turning yellow.

Men's Hair Color Recommendation 2: Light lilac pink

This is a great choice for those trying unique colors for the first time. The light lilac pink combines pink with a touch of purple, creating a misty, subtle shade. It’s perfect for those who fear overly saturated colors. As it fades, it transitions into a soft pink-gold without drastic changes, making it easy to manage. For daily care, you can maintain the color using color-depositing shampoos in Pink Lady and Violet to keep the shade vibrant.

Men's Hair Color Recommendation 3: Milk tea gray

Gray and milk tea are popular hair color choices year-round, and combining these two creates the unique milk tea gray, which gives a mixed-race vibe. Chris highly recommends this color for men trying bleaching for the first time and who want a noticeable hair color. Chris notes that the key for first-time bleachers is choosing a color that fades in a manageable way, and milk tea is ideal for this. For daily maintenance, you can use color-depositing shampoo in Milk Tea and Rose Blue to keep the color fresh.

Men's Hair Color Recommendation 4: Blue gray

For men who don't prefer overly saturated colors or want a cool, edgy look, blue-gray is an excellent choice. This shade has a distinct misty gray feel, and when it fades, it takes on a bit of ash green. For maintenance, use color-depositing shampoo in Rose Blue and Milk Tea to correct the greenish hue with the milk tea tone. A great example from Asian celebrities is Jeonghan from the Korean boy band Seventeen, whose blue-gray hair enhances his sharp and mysterious features. However, Chris advises men with darker skin tones to wear light makeup for a healthier complexion, as the color could otherwise make the overall look appear dull.

Men's Hair Color Recommendation 5: Coral orange

Coral orange, Pantone's Color of the Year in 2019, is a softer alternative to the highly saturated sunset orange. With a hint of pink, coral orange is perfect for men who want a light hair color without being too bright, and it can enhance the complexion for those with dull skin tones. When it fades, it transitions to a pink-gold shade. To maintain the color, use color-depositing shampoos in Starry Orange and Milk Tea to keep the hue vibrant and balanced.

Men's Hair Color Recommendation 6: Milk tea brown

Milk tea brown is a hair color that suits all skin tones. While subtle and understated, it enhances one's overall style. As it fades, it transitions into a manageable milk tea shade, making maintenance easy. Daily care is simple—just use a color-depositing shampoo in Milk Tea to keep the color fresh. This color is ideal for men bleaching their hair for the first time and is especially popular among students and office workers.

Men's Hair Color Recommendation 7: Iron gray

Chris mentions that iron gray is "a hair color you must try at least once in your life." For men looking to elevate their style, the high-quality look of iron gray is a great option, adding more dimension to the hair. However, as iron gray fades, it can develop an ash green tint. To maintain the color, you can use color-depositing shampoo in Rose Blue with a touch of Milk Tea to keep the shade looking fresh.

Things to consider for first-time bleaching

How to choose the right color for you?

When considering a unique hair color, first assess whether your profession has restrictions on hair color and your personal comfort level with bold shades. If work limits prevent you from opting for vibrant colors, you can choose shades centered around brown, such as milk tea or milk tea gray. These tones are easy to manage, and even when they fade, the color won’t look awkward.

For those not ready for a full head bleach, Chris recommends starting with partial bleaching, like highlights or sideburn coloring, which adds character. However, hair length should not be too short—ideally around 2 centimeters—so that the highlights can stand out.

Pre- and post-bleaching care tips

For those with oily scalps, Chris recommends not washing your hair the day before bleaching. Allow your scalp to produce natural oils that can protect it during the bleaching process, as bleaching can irritate the scalp. After bleaching, it’s best to wait two days before washing your hair. Exposure to water can cause pigment to fade, especially for bleached hair, so reducing the frequency of washing or using color-depositing shampoo after washing is important to maintain the color.

Additionally, Chris advises minimizing trips to the beach or swimming pools after bleaching. "Bleached hair exposed to seawater or highly alkaline water not only fades faster but also becomes tangled and damaged." To maintain both your color and hair quality, it’s essential to use color-depositing shampoos, hair masks, and regularly visit the salon for deep conditioning treatments.

男生染髮常見問答

Q1：男生第一次染髮推薦什麼顏色？

第一次染髮可以從奶茶棕、奶茶灰等色系開始，這類髮色深淺較容易掌握，褪色後的顏色也相對自然。如果不想一次改變太多，也可以先嘗試線條挑染或鬢角染。

Q2：男生染髮一定要漂髮嗎？

是否需要漂髮取決於想染的顏色與原本髮色。白金、薄藤粉、奶茶灰、藍灰等淺色或特殊色通常需要先漂髮，才能呈現理想的顏色；若想選擇較深的咖啡色或奶茶棕，則可以依原本髮色與設計需求評估是否需要漂髮。

Q3：男生染髮後多久可以洗頭？

髮型師 Chris 建議漂髮後可以等待約兩天再洗頭，降低洗髮造成的色素流失。平時也可以減少洗頭頻率，並搭配補色洗髮精維持髮色。

Q4：男生染髮後如何維持髮色？

染髮後可以使用適合髮色的補色洗髮精，並搭配護髮膜及定期深層護髮。漂髮後也建議減少接觸海水及游泳池水，避免褪色過快或髮質變得乾澀、糾結。
