6 Easy and Fun Rainbow Hair Color Ideas – Rainbow hair is a fun way to express yourself. It’s been around for a while, but it’s still going strong.
Rainbow hair can be done at home using colored or temporary dyes. You will need to maintain your rainbow hair with regular haircuts and color touchups, though!
The rainbow has always been a symbol of hope and love, which makes it the perfect color for hair.
And, if you’re feeling adventurous (or just want to stand out in a crowd), there are so many fun rainbow hairstyles to try.
Here are some of our favorites:
Rainbow Highlights
There are two ways to get rainbow highlights: you can either have them professionally done or do it yourself.
I prefer the DIY method, because it’s much cheaper and gives me a sense of accomplishment when I look at my hair in the mirror.
Rainbow Ombre
If you’re ready to start your rainbow hair journey, the ombre is a great place to begin. This style can be done with either two or three shades of color, depending on how subtle or bold you’d like it.
And whether your locks are long or short, you can get an ombre effect that works for you.
Also important: no matter what color your hair is now (whether it’s blonde or brunette), an ombre will work with any shade!
Rainbow Mohawk
- Choose your colors. You can use a color wheel to help you decide, or just pick some random shades that all work together.
- Decide how many shades you want in your mohawk, and divide them up between the hair and the mohawk. Make sure there are enough of each color for both places, but don’t overdo it—you don’t want purple roots and hot pink tips!
- Use highlights to create an even more dramatic rainbow effect.
Rainbow All Over Color
You can achieve this look by bleaching your hair and then dying it a few different colors.
You’ll need to use a color remover to get rid of the rainbow hair once you want to go back to your natural color, which means you’ll have to start over again if you want another festival look.
If you’re going for something more permanent, though, I’d suggest finding a salon that specializes in customizing temporary dyes so that your new ‘do matches the one from last year’s festival!
Rainbow Bangs
Bangs are a great way to add color to your look, and they’re also a perfect way to hide a bad hair day.
If you’re going for rainbow bangs, don’t let them distract from the rest of your style!
Unicorn Hair
Unicorn hair is a fun way to add some color in your look. It’s great for any length of hair, and looks especially good on long hair.
You can try unicorn hair yourself, or get a professional to dye it for you. For DIY unicorn hair, you’ll need:
- Purple shampoo
- Blue or pink dye (or both)
- Shower cap or plastic bag
Conclusion
All of these rainbow hair color ideas are so fun and they’re great for all ages.
If you want to take things up a notch, why not try them out and see which one fits your personality best? I think that the rainbow ombre is my favorite because it looks so natural and beautiful!
