It's spring, even though mother nature
does not seem to agree, and pastel colours are dominating the high
street. While everyone else is embracing the long awaited return of
colours, I try not to suffer from a migraine attack every time I walk
into a clothes shop. I guess I'm just not made for summer. Eventually
I found a way to brighten up my gloomy wardrobe, and decided to dye
my hair. The pastel colours I refuse to wear on my clothes, I wear on
my head, whether it is candy floss, lavender or baby blue. This hair
revolution started last year with the dip dye trend that provoked
opinions of all sorts, some thought it was original and unique,
others found it messy and odd. While still trending the dip dye look,
it's now popular to dye your whole head, be it with a single shade or
the whole rainbow. Resurfacing from the 90s, pastel hair isn't a new
phenomena. Celebrities, beyond Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, as well as
real-life girls are spotted with this trend, instantly unleashing the
sunshine. And why only let girls have all the fun, a baby pink or
blue will not make a man any less manly.
To ease yourself into the world of
pastel hair, start out with a candy floss or lavender toner that
lasts a couple of weeks, and then decide whether to commit or not.
Unfortunately, for dark tresses bleach is a must before any light
colour will stick. For the fearless, try a turquoise or blue dye, or
mix a few together. Instant new summery look guaranteed! I'm
considering mint next.
