GREY HAIR IS CAUSING A STORM!
From Halle Berry, Kylie Jenner to Jourdan Dunn, the grey/ white hair with a hint of blue hair dye is the latest festival trend. Jourdan has opted for long soft grey hair, which verges on white, with a pale blue tinge, a hairspiration that must have come from no other than Storm played by Halle Berry in X-Men. Whilst, Kylie Jenner has yet again opted for a bolder aqua blue head. Both Jourdan and Kylie have opted for this new hairdo for the Coachella festival, but who would have thought that we would soon be CHOOSING to go grey before our time?
Why do the ice blue locks work for the summer season? Well now that spring is officially here and summer is on its way, we will not be feeling cold for long, and the revival of the grey hairstyle will not make us look like aged croons but in fact brighten up our appearance this season. The soft tones are appealing for the summer months as a light coiffeure with a golden glow and a few freckles is the perfect summer style (it will also give the illusion of an enhanced tan)- so why not brave the blue, or go for grey?
Yes it is quite bizarre that our biggest and vainest fear – spotting that dreaded grey hair – is the latest trend, and yes, you would be right in thinking that Kylie Jenner has already brought back this hairspo; so why is there such a hype and resurgence of the trend again? Well, as we know festival season is among us and Coachella is the ultimate catalyst to start the festival fever. With festivals comes a surge of glitter, crotchet, fringing, outstanding colours, and of course whacky hairstyles, therefore it seems like the most appropriate time to break the mould and revamp our locks. Festivals range from being a day long, to a few days, maybe perhaps a week (rarely), so being spontaneous with your hair is not a permanent change, which is the great thing.
Festival Fun Hairspiration:
Glitter is bound to get in your hair at festivals (along with a lot of other things), so why not beat them to it and either opt for glitter or a hair glitter spray at the ends of your hair for that little subtle festival glam.
Hair chalks: There are easy ways to up the ante when it comes to hair dyes, and hair chalks are the best way for all. If you would like just a tad of colour in your locks, then chalks are great, and if you want a stronger more potent finish then you simply work the chalks harder in your hair. Simple! However, if you are feeling a little bit adventurous and feel like this festival season you need a drastic change, then I would advise girls to opt for a white/grey hair colour similar instead of peroxide or sandy beachwaves, and then if you wish you can add a pastel hair chalk to it, or numerous pastels colours to your hair.
Accessorise: we have seen a surge of flower power girls in past years, however this festival season it is time to move away from the fake daisy chains in your hair and opt for more sophisticated headpieces that resemble that of Cleopatra, or you can stick to kooky bandanas, and tie them around your head in various ways. Look to Jourdan Dunn for MORE trend inspiration, and match your bandana with your hair colour, for an innovative way to sport the co-ord trend. It is a retro and sneaky way to hide the fact you may not have washed your hair in a few days, plus the ‘90s trend is ‘in’ after all.
If you’re planning to swap your hairdo this festival season, I want to know (and see)!
