2020 proved that, without a doubt, people talk through their hair. Sometime in the early half of the year, it seemed as if you couldn't tap through Instagram without seeing at least one celeb sporting a brand-new hair color, and that number's on the low end. Since then, the best celeb hair colors of 2020 have often felt like a way for musicians, actors, and models to express themselves, whether it be as simple as returning to a natural hair color or as fresh and different as Hilary Duff's denim-blue hair.
So, if you've been looking for a reason to switch up your own hair color, then let your favorite celebs be your guide. There's never been a better excuse to indulge in new highlights or break out the fantasy-hued box dye than as a way to kiss 2020 goodbye, honestly. And there is a surplus of technicolor inspiration below, one of the top hair trends of the year after a summer dominated by rainbow hair. (Remember when it felt like every celebrity was putting their own spin on pink hair colors? Yup, that was this year.)
Below, the seven celebrity hair color moments everyone will remember from 2020.
