Funky Hair Color
Creative New Possibilities to Color Your Locks
Funky hair color is no more a Halloween fantasy - it's in trend…!
Wearing bold colors on your crown is now easier than ever before. Why? Well… you won't be alone doing so anymore!
There used to be a time when such extreme haircolor changes were unheard of, unless the woman wanted to get a lot of stares and comments.
But now in the second part of the new century, new is the rage.
Hair color still being at the forefront, there are a lot many options now for the trendy girl who wants to keep her look snappy and fresh.
The days of the simple blond, redhead, or brunette are out. There seems to be more variations of the basic holy triad than ever.
Your favorite celebrities are experimenting with a variety of colors and hues with drastic changes from copper red to platinum blond and sunny blond to garnet red. Enough for you to plunge in into the funky scene!
So, what's hot and what's not, to color hair funky? Ah… it's hot if you can rock it whatsoever! But for the newbie it's always wise to go slow and be choosy.
Here are a few funky hair color ideas for you to ponder over and seriously so!
Funky Rose Blonde
Well, one of the biggest funky trends is a hair color that is unexpected and even a bit over the top.
For example, instead of rocking a normal sunshine blond, butter blond, or even a conventional platinum blond, the blond of the moment is either ashy, or a Rose blond. This means that rose colored blocks are interwoven with blond locks.
This is for you if you want to rock an edge, but at the same time, would like to take baby steps when it comes to being edgy.
You must however make sure that you get just the right hair cut to go with this type of blond for the new century.
Vibrant Reds
Yes… Reds are still front and center. However, while last year gave us every color of red and even orange from the crayon box, this year, expect to see more subdued copper, fire and penny colors.
Garnet and ruby colors are very much at the forefront as well.
For those who want to be moderate sporting the reds, it is best to take on blocks of color on the ends of hair strands, or to start with an always welcome hue of red, such as Auburn.
Auburn might seem like a safe color to go with, but the new hues of Auburn are a lot more vibrant and edgy than they used to be in the past. In general, you should expect to see outright Auburn hues, or soft brownish reds.
Color Blocking to Be Funky!
Speaking of a crayon box, the color possibilities are endless for the brave souls who want to express themselves in ways that were never possible, or acceptable before.
For example, more and more women are sporting brunette and blond locks as a base and then turning up their color up notches with blocks of crayon colors, such as blue, lavender, pinks, reds and any other color imaginable.
Up to about a couple of years ago, highlights were it. Now, it's all about color blocking.
Girls and even women are blocking strands of hair selectively, or are blocking the crown of hair, or are blocking the bangs.
You can hide the strands in a pony tail when you want to and then can literally let it all hang out when you want to.
Not everyone wants to take the hard and edgy route.
So, instead of committing to full highlights, you can use traditional colors and simply dye the end strands or the layers underneath the crown.
This is yet another option if you want to experiment with color, without making a full-fledged commitment to it.
Funky Hair Color Tips
Deciding to go funky is one thing but getting there and keep being so is a bit challenging than the routine color choices.
Hence it mandates a few special considerations on your part.
- First, foremost and the often repeated (Refer to tip #6 on hair color tips page) tip to note is to go slow… Consider your family, friends and your profession. Maybe you can carry the funky aura with ease but perhaps they can't!
- For the sake of the above reason and many more such it would be best to consider temporary or at most semi permanent hair colors for going all punk.
- Do not forget your hair cut while going funky and committing to it. Not all haircuts go in sync with the aura of funkiness. In my opinion… color and the haircut share 60/40 partnership in this type of hair color style. So, the edgy short haircuts suit best for them.
