Funky Hair Color Ideas
Whether you have been dared to go funky, or just want to be rebellious, there is no better way to do it than get your hair colored in a funky shade. In any case, the time has gone for simple hairstyles with usual hair colors. In this area, succumb to the latest funky trends that are now doing the rounds. Just getting funky hairstyles are not enough. Add to it a dash of a funky color, and you can transform your whole look!
When you decide to get a funky hair color, keep in mind that coloring all the hair in a funky color may not suit everyone. Rather, opt to color parts of the hair, in the form of streaks, a patch, chunky hair highlights or just use a combination of two or more colors. Also remember, funky colors look much better when applied on funky hairstyles, such as punk hairstyles or emo hairstyles. Here are some ideas for you based on the natural color of your hair.
Brunettes
As a brunette, choose from shades of electric blue, bright or deep purple, dark green, bright red and shocking pink.
- You may choose to get a combination of highlights, with the blue and purple. You can even combine the green to add more funk to your hairstyle.
- To use pink and red, just have the tips of your hair colored in those shades. If you have a layered hairstyle, ensure you get the color on the tips of all the layers.
- One of the best way to apply these funky colors for short hair, such as the bob, is to have only your bangs colored in any of the above-mentioned colors. A darker shade of pink would be perfect for dark brown hair.
- Another great idea for short hair is to have patches of your hair highlighted in blond, and streaked with red. That is just plain deadly! For some help take a look at this article on black hair with blond highlights.
- Try a two tone hair color, in a combination of pink and orange, pink and blue, blue and red, or purple and green.
Funky hair colors show more on blond hair because it is lighter. That however, shouldn't deter you from trying out any of these funky colors. In fact, you have a whole new palette of combinations to choose from.
- One color that would look perfect on blond hair, is lime green. Since this color is too bright, it is ideal to have it as highlights, along with light blue streaks. Combined with naturally blond hair, the funk cannot go unnoticed.
- The above mentioned combinations for brunette hair are great even for blond hair. Applied overall, or just in a chunk on the bangs, these colors show perfectly on blond hair.
- An extremely funky idea for long, blond hair is to have the top half length in a shocking pink, and the lower half in a shade that is close to white!
- Streaks in varied shades of purple and pink are great for blond hair. Stick to the lighter shades and avoid the deeper shades. This combination looks just perfect on blond hair, preferably on long hairstyles.
Whatever the reason for you to choose from these funky colors, do so just keeping your haircut, your skin tone, and your natural hair color in mind. Remember, blond hair absorbs hair color more easily than does brunette hair. As mentioned before, these should not deter you from choosing from these funky colors. If you've already decided to go for it, don't look back. Coloring your hair in a funky shade is an experience of a lifetime, and something you must try at least once!
