On Trend With Candy Colored Hair
Over the last several months I catch myself day dreaming about colored hair (usually silverly purple). There have been many times I have text my stylist (and BFF since first grade) Lindsay hoping she will cater to my semi unreasonable request and every time without fail she sends me back a big fat “NO!!!” LOL! Her honesty is one of her best qualities…..but so is her free spirit! So why is she ignoring my free spirited request?!! If push came to shove, I am not sure if I would really follow through, but a girl sure can dream.
So why are so many women experimenting with candy colored hair lately? Could it be because in a sea of fashionable social media posts, it’s one way to stand out above the rest? Or like me, they’re just desperate for something new? Perhaps the ombre trend is running its course? What ever it may be, it’s been fun to observe and fantasize about.
Last Spring I was lucky enough to attend Mercedes Benz Fall Fashion Week 2014. I saw a lot of dip died color jobs on the runway. By dip dye I mean the ends or bottom half of the hair of had been dipped in a different color of dye than their base color. Perhaps that means dip dye will be the new trend once candy colors run their course. Whatever the new trend may be, I will most likely be day dreaming of it hoping Lindsay will give me the green light!
Have any of you or your friends tried the candy colored hair trend? If so, I’d love to hear about it. Also, if you were to try it, what color would you do? Like I said above, I would go for a silvery purple.
Here’s to a colorful day (pun intended)!

Thanks

August 28, 2014 at 6:48 pmI blame Katy Perry—in the best way. Personally, I can’t pull off crazy hair in law school but I love the deep teal color. It reminds me of the sea and mermaids!
Another Beautiful Thing

August 28, 2014 at 9:58 pmI actually told my father in law one day that if I were blonde I would totally rock the pastel candy colored hair. There is just something about it that I love, edgy meets romantic. Of course, he thought I was a bit cray. But I’m totally with you on this. You can pull off anything.

I actually have been feeling the same way for quite sometime now and I just went and dyed my hair a purple color and I am obsessed with it. The best part is that it’s semi permanent so it will eventually fade, no big deal about redying it or bleaching it. See I did it without bleaching it so its darker but you can still totally tell. You should totally go through with it! xoxo

September 10, 2014 at 11:37 amI’m in a constant battle with myself over colorful hair, to do it or not! I think I’d go for pastel pink first, it seems a little less scary. I think I might try it soon (but I’ve been telling myself that for awhile, ha!). You could totally pull it off if you decide to go for it.
