Crazy Colours
Crazy, unnatural coloured hair is the key to being on trend this year. Think grey, bubblegum pink, peacock blue, neon red and turquoise. The counter-intuitive grey hair trend started emerging on the streets and runways last year.
Spring/summer 2010 collections showed icy grey streaks on pale ash blonde at Christian Dior and Chanel.
Autumn/winter collections display grey hair everywhere, from airbrushed roots and tips to all-over colour. Kate Moss confirms this trend by rocking grey streaks at her recent launch party. With the fashion industry being so hooked on youth, I think it’s quit refreshing to see grey hair being embraced! Pink and lilac-toned streaks are a great addition to grey or ash blonde hair.
Variations of baby punks and lavenders are a cool, grungey but feminine way to embrace colour in summer.
Stars such as Katy Perry and Ashley Olsen have chosen more fluorescent blue and green hues. Being a slightly harsher tone than pink and lilac, turquoise and deep denim blue works great in accenting darker hair.
Lady Gaga has set the trend for lemon yellow hair, with her ambitious sunny flaxen shade seen at the Fontainebleau in Miami. Orange-toned or neon bright reds have come strongly through this year, following the apricot hair trend from last year. This can also been seen with subtle strawberry hues added to blonde hair, especially around the face to soften the facial features.
Nice and Natural
Blonde is back in a big way. Instead of the recent peroxide fashions, warm honey-blonde or caramel shades compliment the very natural makeup that is so on trend for this year. If you’re a dark haired beauty, set the mood with a simple, single-colour approach to brunette.
Embrace your dark tones to go with the gothic beauty that is increasingly fashionable at the moment. Whichever colour you’re going for this year, consider ombré toned colour a la Drew Barrymore or Rachel Bilson. Rocker roots or dip-dyed tips have been favoured by celebrities and models alike.
