Bold, techno hair colour is officially here to stay.
From Pink to purple, green to all the rainbow colour, it’s no longer shocking to see girl bosses with interesting hair and these colours are dominating our Instagram feed refresh after refresh.
“I was always the girl who dreamed of colouring her hair a bold (maybe pastel?) hue, but lacked the confidence to do so,” says writer Charmaine Simmons. Black girls are always told that we should only wear very specific hair colours that are “flattering” to our skin tone, as though being black in and of itself limits us to the most basic shades. The truth? We can dye our hair whatever colour we want to.”
Another blogger suggests the best hair colour for dark skin are ones that set off the rest of your features and complement your personality.
Obviously, it’s safer to wear this colour in hair extension form to protect your hair, but if you are going for the real deal, hair experts advice you first ease yourself into it with a spritz on colour or wash off colour spray.
