Easy DIY Rainbow Hair Tutorial

Everyone is going WILD for rainbow hair colors, and it’s easy to understand why! Whether you go bold and vivid or soft and subtle, this color trend is hands down the coolest way to have hair that is truly unique to you.

Pretty Pastel Hair

There are several ways to get rainbow hair in pastel hues. Here it looks like this lovely girl has created a soft green and purple base. The other colors simultaneously pop and blend in, but they don’t look washed out. As a result, the yellow, pink, and blue catch the eye.

Every Shade of Green

Sticking to one color of the spectrum might seem boring, but clearly, it doesn’t have to be. The colors of this girl’s hair are versatile, and the combination creates a really gorgeous effect. All those shades of green are creatively blended and show just how well a bold neon hair color can work.

Mermaid Ombre Tips

Mermaid hair can use any hue, as long as it’s somehow reminiscent of the sea. That usually means blues or greens, as you see here. The fade from white blonde to turquoise and cobalt is soft but clearly pops against that pale hair. Protip: you can easily mimic this with hair chalk.

Hair with Girly Flair

If you love pink and purple, give your colorful hair a rock star edge. Notice how the purple is vivid, even sharp, but the pink is as delicate as a ballet slipper. This is the hair you want if dichotomy is your bag.

Color Meets Subtlety

There’s no rule insisting that your particular rainbow has to be blindingly bright. You can keep it subtle without holding back on the color. Keep your base dark or chestnut brown like in this example and fill in your rainbow with the colors you like.
