Turquoise hair dye isn’t like other hair dyes. It can be tricky and it takes time to achieve the result you want, so, be patient and be prepared to spend a few days – or hair appointments – working towards the right shade. For a vivid yet soft look, consider the silver to glass-like blue transition.

Two sections are twisted from both sides creating an effortless half-down style. Blending the dark metal shade into more saturated teals creates a dark, sultry hair color. Best matched with black, white, or basic hues.

Starting with a basic blonde shade, this combination of purple and turquoise creates a cotton candy look that’s fearlessly bold, bright, and feminine. Want to make it even more dynamic? Consider adding a third color like bubblegum pink.

When you think of the Arctic, you might think of cold, icy temperatures, but this turquoise hair color stands out in all seasons. To make it even more vibrant, consider going brighter and lighter as the hair falls.

      <image:caption>6. Braided Pastel Rainbow Style

This isn’t a do-it-yourself style, but it’s extremely desirous and show-stopping. Starting with a pastel turquoise, you can add pink, orange, red, purple, even green for a rainbow-colored look. With a french braid, you can create an artistic masterpiece, as each strand is beautiful and different than the next one.

This rainbow ombre – or rombre – was achieved with a balayage technique. Notice the red and yellow colors perfectly matched to the short layered strands and finished surprisingly with awesome shades of turquoise and teal.

For a turquoise ombre hair, you can mix two different colors – like these bluish green and violet – to produce one colorful, complimentary hairstyle. For a healthy blend of colors, let some of the blue flow all the way to the bottom.

This underwater look actually combines a turquoise blue with a soft green, making the yellow highlights really pop. If you want this look, but don’t want to make it permanent, consider adding lemon yellow extensions throughout.

Turquoise hair doesn’t have to be bright. You can tone it down with a mix of pastel colors including light greens, purples, and pinks. For a princess-like hairstyle, add a variety of braids and extensions to complete your look.

      <image:caption>12. Black and Blue

The black and turquoise are separated with a high wrap-around ponytail. When let down, the colors would create a drastic – yet beautiful – ombre look. This style looks best with frosty blue eyes and a thick black cat eye. You may use hair extensions, if you don`t want to change your hair color so radically.

This turquoise hair color will brighten any day. Style your short teal hair creatively – asymmetrically, with a deep side part and tight braid, for instance. Not sure what to wear this bold look? Consider whites, blacks, flowers, and polka dots.

For more length and more color, weaves are a perfect solution. Black locks look great with bright colors like red and turquoise. Curling iron curls, such as these, emphasize the beauty and uniqueness of turquoise hair.

Brighten up black hair with a turquoise ombre. Use a curling iron or overnight braids to create the crimped waves – and don’t be afraid to pair your new style with a bold lip color such as a bright red or pink.

Dark turquoise hair is great, but what if you just want a pop of color? The fall-over hair with a side buzz utilizes three different colors to achieve a bright, rocker look. To enrapt the curls, twist the curling iron to both sides and drape the strands around one another.

If you’re headed to a music festival or EDM concert, you want to make sure you hold nothing back when it comes to your look. That’s why multi-shaded pastel turquoise hair is a must for the festival season. When worn in an equally cool hairdo — like braided messy buns — your uninhibited style and flair won’t be denied.

Contrary to the colored hair movement of the ’80s, neon locks are not reserved for hardcore punkers or artsy-fartsy crowds. So, pastel green hair can be worn as feminine and chic as you want, because this color is one for the masses. In fact, try styling it in loose beach waves for a look that’s very in now.

Light green hair doesn’t need to stand alone to shine. Go for a holographic look by incorporating green, teal, purple and pink highlights into your ‘do. Now, this look is not an easy one to achieve, but the results are so amazing, it’s totally worth the fuss. And, hey, you only live once!

Give your light teal tresses a metallic finish with a tortoiseshell hairstyle that incorporates glossy, white-blonde pieces. The blonde gives your hair an iridescent feel that’s beyond gorgeous. Just make sure you’re using color-enhancing products to keep that shine going.

Want to brighten up that blonde mane of yours even more? Try a pastel green hair look that is as funky as it is beautiful. If you’re already sporting blonde locks, the color transition should not be too difficult. However, darker hair will certainly need more bleaching and stripping prior to going green.

Pastels don’t always have to have glossy, shiny finishes. The light shades of purple and teal can also work in a cool matte, especially when worn in ombre style. In fact, this ashy tone might be the hottest thing about your hair color.

If you’re torn between what violet hair color to go with, stop racking your brain and go with all the shades you can think of. Add some dimension by mixing bright, neon purples with soft, ashy lilacs. Your hair will have some personality and character that can’t be denied.

Perfectly weaved violet black hair color is making quite the statement these days. Jump on board the trend train and create a gradient by either sticking to your natural dark roots or dying them brown. Then, blend the bright purple hair color into the hair, starting just below the crown.

The neon lilac look is incredibly chic, but not the easiest to achieve, especially for those with naturally dark hair. With an experienced colorist and color-enhancing home products, this vibrant look is totally worth the work.

Be the unicorn of your crew with pastel violet hair styled in an elaborate pancake braid. Pancaking involves tugging at a braid to make it fuller and flatter. Pancaking a Dutch braid around the top of the head and finishing with an intricate fishtail braid along the side makes for an elaborate and beautiful formal ‘do.

Dark violet hair is about as striking as it gets, and you don’t need long, layered locks to make it work. Try purple highlights in your trendy, curled long bob and show people how you live life on the cutting edge of style.

      <image:caption>15. Big, Braided Updo

Who says updos need to be buns or intricate chignons? Add some class to that bright and light violet hair of yours by creating a large, thick Dutch braid down the center of the hair. Make sure it’s loose and full, to make it look more formal and updo-ish.

Get the edgiest look in town by trying an angular long bob that hits at the shoulders in the front and at the nape of the neck in the back. To add even more “cool points” to the look, create a silver ombre effect that starts with purple and transitions nicely to a sleek grey.

Crazy wayward curls are meant to stand out, so why not go the extra mile and color them a hot shade of purple? These grape-colored ringlets add a cool funky vibe to your luscious locks. Just make sure you keep your hair hydrated with moisture-packed hair products as the violet hair dye and process can dry it out.

Pins are becoming so fun lately and what better way to wear one than in a unicorn shape? Nothing makes a bun look cuter than a pin in a fun and creative shape.

The cuff is back, and we couldn’t be more excited to replace our winter hats with them! You may be seeing more and more tasseled ones on Instagram lately and that’s because they are so stylish and chic. Securing a pretty french braid bun with a tasseled cuff in the color of your choice is super modern and fresh.

Bows are obviously delicate and feminine, but in pin-form it suddenly has a modern twist that we can’t get enough of. Using pins works best on hairstyles for long hair. Secure a lovely french twist or braided updo with this bow pin for a fresh and sweet style.

As much as we love crystals and geodes, other natural elements can also make a pretty choice and offer a more matte look. Take for example a stone barrette if you’re looking for a simple way to add some natural beauty to your style.

You have no choice but to be confident in your raw authentic self. Before, I was able to adapt and change myself to fit into whatever environment I was in (ex; abandoning my “artsy” style for pageant events and following fashion standards), however when your head is shaved you are forced to show up as you are, and love it!

You really discover a new self love for your face when you shave your head. Suddenly there isn’t hair and the styling of it distracting from your facial features. Even if you don’t believe you have particularly striking features, believe me, they will be with a buzzcut!

Before shaving my head I never had hair shorter than my collarbones. I was always far too afraid of what other people would think or regretting it. So I kept my hair long, despite always being curious about shorter hairstyles and bald head girls. Well, now that I’ve shaved my head and grown it out I’ve had so much fun experimenting with the extremely short Jean Seberg pixie cut, as well as the slightly longer Audrey Hepburn pixie cut I always wanted but what too afraid to try! I’ve now kept the latter haircut for over 6 months, and I’m eager to experiment with the bob after growing out the pixie.

      <image:title>5. You Begin to Rid the Ego</image:title>
      <image:caption>5. You Begin to Rid the Ego

We all have this rather prominent aspect of our consciousness called the “ego”. The ego is something I know very well I am ruled by, but I was ruled by the ego more so whilst I was wrapped up in the beauty pageant world. To be ruled by the ego is not always to suggest you have an inflated confidence, it can mean the opposite. The ego isn’t our true selves, but rather our image of self. Often times we grow obsessed with this false image, especially in a world very driven by ego, with the overflux of advertisements we absorb. Shaving my head assisted me in realizing the unimportance and impermanence of ego. Having long hair was just one aspect of my physical form I relied on to try and gain self-love. My hair was long during the entire life because I thought without it I wouldn’t be beautiful. However, as I literally stripped myself of that idea in the physical realm by cutting my hair something happen within myself as well. I was still me, despite losing a lot of what had been defined as me for so long.

I believe that if you’ve clicked on the article with a spark of a desire to shave your head, and made it this far through the article that it’s no coincidence. I’m not a believer in coincidences. I remember exactly where I was when the universe planted the seedling of an idea in my mind to shave my head to protest beauty standards. I thought I was crazy. But I knew the universe would not plant an idea in my head to harm me. Seeds are only planted to grow. I came out the other end blooming with self love. Take the time to reflect inward and ask if this is a soul desire of yours. And if you’re waiting for a sign, this is it.

Section the front portion of hair and braid diagonal mini plaits, securing them with hairpins on the back of the head. This is a cute option for bangs that are growing out or a tamer for some unruly layers and flyaways.

      <image:caption>1. Opal Braid

Opal is popular because it is a birthstone and looks great in jewelry. But, it also serves as inspiration for a hair color thanks to the blend of pink, blue and purple. This trend usually combines blue and purple with light pastel hues for the overall color that is similar to, but softer than, galaxy dye.

Mermaid hair is meant to look like the different colors of the ocean. While many people might gravitate towards bright green, purple and blue hair invokes the image of the moon dancing on water at night. It is dark yet colorful at the same time.

Shine bright like a diamond without dropping the cash necessary for the real thing. Take dark blue and purple strands to the edgier territory with a fun undercut design in the shape of the popular gem. Both the shaved section and big braid will add texture to a short cut.

It’s amazing how color can instantly change the entire vibe of a hairstyle. On its own this double braid would seem demure or conservative, but with the addition of purple, pink and blue it suddenly seems fresh and radical.

Is there anything more beautiful than looking through a stained glass window on a sunny day? Maybe this hairstyle takes the cake. It’s a balance of proportions with bold primary and secondary colors on the side paired with the soft pastel spirals on top.

Unicorn color does not always have to be a silvery blend of pastel hues. Mixing dark purple and green into a navy blue base creates a dramatic yet subtle combination of shades. This is perfect for women with naturally dark hair so that the new growth looks seamless with the rest of the style.

Twilight is not just the name of a sexy vampire series; it’s also the beauty of colors in the late evening sky. Purple and pink and blue blend to create an amazing wash of color that looks equally stunning when applied as a hair dye. Layers will really show off the different shades in the style.

      <image:caption>10. Chunky Galaxy Highlights

Galaxy hair can also be created with chunky highlights, instead of ombre or multidimensional highlights and lowlights. If you are attempting a new color at home, this would be easier to do with a brush and foil than a more complicated process.

Instead of dyeing your whole head, try using blue and purple hair as an accent with a bold colored section in the middle of your strands. This can be covered by wearing your hair loose or exposed with a variety of half updos like the braid shown.

Sometimes attempting your own hair color has its benefits, you can save money and you know exactly what you want, but when it comes to a multidimensional color that creates depth, it really should be left to the professionals. In this case, you really do get what you pay for.

Adding silver to purple and blue hair creates a pearlescent look meant to mimic the colors shown when light hits a pearl. It looks different at every angle and is anything but basic. A small top knot is a great weekend look for ladies with short cuts.

With an extra dose of volume and the two-tone color, this is definitely a style for a woman with a lot of personality and confidence. If you don’t want to spend hours with a hot curler every morning, use flexi-rods overnight to get beautiful bouncy curls by morning.

If you don’t trust yourself when attempting highlights in your purple and blue hair, a two-tone look is a viable alternative. Simply dye the top part of your hair one color and the bottom part another for a fun blended look.

You don’t need too long hair up top to try a flat top. Also if your hair is not thick or dense enough, it won’t stand straight in longer lengths, so, a short flat top is the only possible variation if you want this style.

A flat-top haircut is already a style that commands a lot of attention, but when you add some edgy shaved designs, you take it to the next level. In this example the designs are along the sides, while the flat-top is extending down to create a pointed look in the back.

Here’s a conservative version of a flat-top. The pompadour is often associated with past decades and a neatly coiffed appearance, however, you can bring the style into the modern era by combining it with a flat-top, as seen in this photo. Complete with part on the side and wear as a formal hairstyle.

This type of haircut is recommended for girls and women who want to refresh their look, retaining the length. The light layers along your face upgrade your long straight haircut and elongate your neck. If you have a round face or sharp cheekbones, your layers should start below the chin. Such long brown haircuts will approximate your face shape to the desired oval.

Haircuts for wavy hair are performed in simple shears, without usage of any complicated techniques or methods. This principle will help you to maintain the shape of your haircut longer and give your locks a more natural look with smooth curls. If you have a prominent forehead, you can correct it with bangs.

When your hair grows out, it’s getting heavier and loses its mobility and attractiveness. A haircut with layers, where the difference between the shortest and the longest lock is significant, can improve the situation. Such a haircut removes unnecessary bulk of thick brown long hair and gives it the enjoyable bounce.

Light blue strands spreading out over salt and pepper hair would be stunning on any occasion and in any setting. One of the benefits of the gray hair trend is how it works for a neutral base color that can take on other more pronounced hues.

The silver hair trend may be initially edgy, however it carries a soft, feminine air to it as well. When headed to an event, feel free to look like the beautiful queen you are and have your hair stand out on your special day.

Truly, any regular old style can host the new hair trend. Beware as some cuts may age you – however, dark roots sort that out quickly and elegantly. It’s a look that keeps on giving as your hair grows out too!
