There is an abundance of vibrant colors you can choose for an eye-catching, alternative new look. With bright colors like blue and purple, you will be sure to express your personality!
Trend setters like Katy Perry and Taylor Momsen are known for their crazy hair colors, and believe being boring is the kiss of death. Coloring hair purple, green or blue is certainly a potent antidote for boredom. However, a healthy dose of confidence is essential to pull off a bright hair color.
How to Select Bright Hair Colors
Changing the color of your hair is certainly not a problem. Still, it may take you some time to find a bright extravagant color, which will enhance your style and complexion. As an alternative, you may like to follow the trial and error method. Using a semi-permanent coloring application may be a comfortable solution if you are not quite sure about the color choice.
Styling Tips for Brightly Colored Hair
Vibrant hair colors are most impressive in combination with simple hairstyles. The colors unfold their full glamour when the hair is allowed to fall freely without too much styling. Taylor Momsen’s sleek straight hair emphasizes the deep shine of her blonde hair. Simple styles direct all attention to the glow and glamour of the hair color.
Other fashionistas have a more painterly approach, including Maybelline’s new spokes model Charlotte Free, who freshened up last season’s ombre trend by fringing her hair with a gradation of cotton-candy pinks.
Even the more mainstream Lauren Conrad has not only dipped the tips of her swinging ponytail in fuchsia but also posted an image of her tresses painted with sinewy streaks of sublime purples, pinks, green and oranges — a rainbow of expression.
Is it a revolution or an evolution?
The daring have been wearing alternative hair color for years. New York City sisters and punk rockers Tish and Snooky Bellomo created Manic Panic hair dye back in 1977 in amped-up, super-bold colors with evocative names: Atomic Turquoise, Electric Tiger Lily and Bad Boy Blue.
Cyndi Lauper “She Bopped” crazy hair colors through the ’80s, and Gwen Stefani rocked colors like raspberry blue in the ’90s. The word to describe color in those days was “edgy.”
But in 2012 the trend is more mainstream than ever — you’re as likely to see dip-dyed ends on the girl next door as you are on a Goth or rocker. And the color is softer — even frothy, perhaps — as seen in “America’s Next Top Model” winner Sophie Sumner’s fairylike pale pink tresses.
