My Trend View: Pastel and Gray Hair
4:25 PMHey everyone!
Summer is coming to a close and I'm sure everyone has perfected or tried to perfect their desired summer look by now and are prepping for fall favorites like scarves and boots. This post is dedicated to a brave look that I've considered but haven't found the guts to try out; pastel and or gray hair.
As you've seen all over magazines and social media the trend of pastel and gray hair is still popular. I'm surprised it's lasted this long honestly, especially among celebrities. I mean there seems to be a new trend every week for them. I think the long life of this trend comes from the versatility of the look. There are so many colors and options to rock. You can go with highlights, ombre, dying only the ends of your hair, or maybe even just the back. I've seen it all.

It's not hard to keep up with the trend since media outlets seem to go crazy every time some celebrity changes their hair. With girls testing out lighter and bolder hair, it wasn't long before the color gray caught everyone's fancy.
Gray/Grey
My advice is be sure of how light or dark you want to go with your gray before you head to the salon. You might go in wanting something closer to a deep gray almost black color and come out looking like Storm from X-Men. Check out some instances where it looks great, the first is a friend of mine who's always getting the jump on trends in both beauty and fashion. It's kind of her job and passion to do so as a stylist. Check out her website.
With a fierce haircut, Ariana went for an almost white shade of gray.
Now check out looks from one of my favorite Instagram users, Marycake. The first is her take on pastel ombre, going from a navy blue to a sky blue. The second, an ombre look featuring gray. This girl can work any look and I'm a little jealous!
