Trending in Beauty: Dip Dying and Brightly Coloured Hair

This spring, we're thinking pinks, purples, blues and oranges. Only, we're not talking about the latest fashion or nail trends. This is all about candy coloured hair! While we're totally crushing on the pastel mermaid-esque hair from afar, we're also wondering- is this trend wearable for the average chick?

For the past few seasons, brightly dyed hair has been all over the runway. Thakoon (top left) and Issey Miyake (middle) showed a pastel pink and purples painted on thickly. While Prada (bottom left) and Peter Som took a more subtle approach fading brown and blonde into an orange.
To Celebs!

Celebrities like Kate Bosworth and Katy Perry have jumped on the coloured hair bandwagon. Katy is currently sporting a full head of a violet hue while Kate Bosworth opts for a bold blue dip dyed look. Supermodel Charlotte Free (bottom right) has even built a career on her trademark magenta hair.

We've actually done our own experimenting with dip dying hair by using Kevin.Murphy Color.Bug to chalk our hair. Hair chalking (p.s. check out this video on DIY hair chalking) can add a burst of colour to any hair colour. However, it isn't permanent and will wash out in your next shampoo. If you're interested in spicing up your hair with some colour, we suggest investigating some clip-in coloured hair extensions. They'll be easy to put in, remove and you can change up your colour daily!
So, what do you think of this candy coloured hair trend? Is this something you would try or have you tried it?

![]() | I don't mind the clip in kinds for a night out, but I'm not a fan of dying your whole head bright pink! |
![]() | I love this. It's comming into fashion more and more. Years ago in the late 80's and into the late 90's we had ppl like Billy Idiol doing this, Cindly Lauper.. loved the look sort of "Punk Rock" in my time.. Todays it is more acceptabe and suttle.. |
![]() | Nope, I'm to old for this look. It would also make my look like my crazy step mother and give my real mother a heart attack.LOL |
