The best bright hair looks

Do you dare to try this trend?

With festival season ahead of us (hello Coachella and Splendour!), it’s time to fun up your look with an injection of colour. Here are our favourite coloured hair looks spotted on street stylers in New York, London, Paris and Milan, and how to achieve it.

Baby pink

It may be a wig, but this picture of Kylie Jenner is what (cotton candy) dreams are made of. Get the look with a soft wash of colour that you can apply between every second wash.

At home

Try Keune Colour Craving in Pink Flush

Dark blue

Dip your toe in the coloured-hair trend with a darker shade like navy instead; it’s a muted shade that only looks eye-catching when you’re under the sun.

At home

Try Factorie Comb-In Hair Chalk in Blue

Bright pink

Make a statement with a fluorescent shade that’s sure to brighten any room you enter. Tip: keep the upkeep to a minimum by concentrating the colour from your mid-lengths to ends.

At home

Try Brite Organix Liquid Hair Chalk in Pink

Dark purple

A rich plum is a great choice for those with olive to dark skintones. Steer away from looking like My Little Pony with a carefully considered outfit that oozes with street cred; a trucker cap and camo printed coat should do the trick.

At home

Try Juuce Love Conditioning Colour Treatment in Violet Blue

Multi-coloured

Can’t decide on one colour? First, bleach your hair to as light as you can, then layer a few semi-permanent colours next to each other for contrast.

At home

Try Fudge Professional Paintbox Whiter Shade of Pale
