At first glance, you may think that adding a hot pink streak to your hair Avril Lavigne-style is totally tasteless, but we’re pleased to report that some celebs, like Dakota Fanning and Katy Perry, have actually managed to turn colorful hair dye into a trend we can work with. Our favorite so far is Selena Gomez, who rocked the look in West Hollywood recently when she showed off her new violet and blue hair extensions.
Here’s what makes Gomez’s hair work: it’s subtle. The Disney actress went for dark blue and violet shades that complement her naturally dark hair, rather than overwhelming it with orange or pink. To keep it chic, she only used a handful of streaks underneath her hair, allowing them to peek out from her regular style.
Want to go for the Gomez look? Try Manic Panic Glam Strips ($6 at Ricky’s): strips of colored synthetic hair that clip in easily underneath your own. Make sure to trim them to the length of your cut to avoid a rattail-like look.
We want to know what you think. Would you try bright colored hair?
