Creative hair color is “having a moment,” and I am here for it! I think bold color is often underrated and can actually look very sophisticated if done right.
But if you are wanting to try this trend without looking like you are going through a rebellious phase, it helps to have a plan.
Here are a few of my top picks for unnatural hair colors that strike the perfect balance between playful and polished.
1. Lime Green
If there is one color that screams statement piece, it is this super vibrant shade of light green.
I would describe it as the color of a lime, but it is honestly way brighter and more vibrant. It is also a lot more interesting. Talk about electrifying!
2. Scarlet Red
Scarlet is defined as a deep red hue that features a tiny bit of orange.
You can even wear it as a darker red color. It is the perfect choice for winter this year.
3. Silver
Silver hair has remained pretty popular for the last five years or so. Although, the trend has evolved into more of a heavy ash look.
I find it ironic that people with naturally grey hair go to great lengths to hide it.
Meanwhile, the younger girls are purposely dying their hair silver. Check out 10 Shades of Grey Hair to see the different varieties.
4. Rose Gold
I have to admit that I am all about rose gold everything. You only have to step into my house for two seconds to know that I am not joking.
To create this color, you want a golden blonde with pinkish undertones. This is an excellent way to hide any brassy tones.
Keracolor even makes a rose gold clenditioner to keep your hair looking fresh between touch ups.
5. Cobalt Blue
Cobalt blue is an ultra bold and vibrant shade of deep blue.
Although it stands strong on its own, this amazing shade looks even better when paired with darker colors. Think black or dark brown.
6. Baby Pink
Baby pink hair is really just a light shade of pastel pink. It differs from rose gold in that it is much lighter.
It should also be absent of golden undertones. To get this hue, the hair should be lightened to a very light blonde before applying the pink color.
7. Copper Orange
Orange hair is a color that is on the rise right now. Most people try to stay away from orangish tones.
But now that they are becoming more popular, embrace it and rock it.
8. Turquoise
Turquoise is a bluish green color meant to mimic the popular ornamental gemstone.
It is important to note that the hair needs to be lightened thoroughly before applying this color.
Otherwise, the yellow undertones can make it look greener than desired.
9. Mint Green
Mint green is a super light shade of true green. It is without any warm or cool undertones.
For an extra bold look, try using a slightly darker shade on the roots.
10. Lilac
Lilac is a beautiful light shade of purple with silver undertones.
It is meant to resemble the fabulous purple hues of the lilac flower. Like other colors on this list, best results are achieved on pre lightened hair.
Final Thoughts
Regardless of the color you were born with, you can change it into something extravagant. In today’s creative world of cosmetology, the sky is the limit.
With this ultimate guide of unnatural hair colors, I am sure you will find the perfect color for you!
