This is tie dye’s summer and we’re just living in it. As soon as the temp started to rise our feeds blew up with super psychedelic hair—and we can’t get enough of the mind-blowing color. It only makes sense that after the last few years of sombre, strobing and sponging in neons, brights and pastels, that we’ve reached an amalgamation of the rainbow. Everything and anything goes, and the more eye-catching and over the top the better, with all signs pointing to tie dye hair as the season’s mane statement.

Täste the Raïnbøw
When a client wanted a pastel rainbow, @hairhunter combined colors to achieve tie dye hair perfection. She used powder for the base, melted Cupid and clear, and added Lemon, followed by Mercury, blending all around to create the pop of coral and green. The look was styled with Living Proof and a T3 Micro Iron.
