As a color specialist, I have experimented with my own hair over and over again but the rainbow trend has never caught my attention until now. It can truly bring out a lot of personality and make your flattering features stand out if it's done in the right color scheme. In this photo, you are intrigued by this beautiful young woman through her eyes and because the rainbow effect is done so nicely, it does not throw you off or look trashy in any way. It is instead smooth, radiant and exotic. The colors of purple and pink stand out most with some green and blue streaks peeking through her mocha brown hair color.
When it comes to celebrities like Avril Levigne, the rainbow highlights seem to be a classic look for the young pop/rock star. She has always had different colors in her hair but mainly stayed true to her blonde undertone. In this most recent photo she has some lime green hues in the very front layers of her hair which are subtle compared to what she normally has.
To get this look, ask your stylist to highlight only the front layers of your hair and tone it with the color you desire. If you have pre-lightened or naturally blonde hair then you can skip the lightening part and jump straight to picking the color that best suits you.
Cher Lloyd is rockin' a combination of the very popular 'ombre' highlight with a rainbow effect. Her color starts off looking natural at the roots and gradually lighter into a caramel and strawberry blonde followed through with cotton candy pink towards the ends. This style suits her edgy persona while maintaining a youthful and fun look.
To get this look, ask your stylist for the 'ombre' highlight and make sure to choose a combination of colors that blend well together just like how she pulls off in this photo of what looks like a strawberry sundae.
There are many ways to go about this look. Rihanna has entertained us not only with her amazing talent as a singer but has also kept us on top of the hottest trends of our time. She surprised us again when she did this hot bold and very dramatic bright red color. She started off with wearing it long and curly and now she is showing off her bright hair on a shorter and sexy cut.
Another trendsetter who is not shy when it comes to her style is Nicki Minaj. She has proved that with confidence and a strong personality, you can pull off just about anything. In this photo, she has an all over color of pink hues that start off deeper and brighter at the center of the crown of her head and gradually fades to a lighter baby pink towards the tips. This is actually a softer touch for Nicki Minaj and i must say, I'm loving this girly look.
There is always a fine print when it comes to getting something fun and exciting, in this case it is the maintenance part of this trend. It takes dedication to keep up this look. If you want to taste the rainbow, then make sure to do it tastefully!!!
