You’re thinking that coloring your hair various shades of the spectrum is so last summer, aren’t you? Well, I’m no lawyer, but I’m about to serve some sound evidentiary support as to why rainbow locks are as in right now as neon was last spring. You thought it was the end, but oh no, it’s merely the beginning.
1. Because Oscar de la Renta’s models in his Spring show (pictured below) had hair like pastel Pinkberry fro-yo swirls (not that they’d know what fro-yo or Pinkberry looks like). If they can’t eat it, they might as well wear it. Oh, and those were in de la Renta’s brighter, pre-Galliano days.
2. Because this happened at Fendi. This wasn’t even for Spring – it was at their Fall 2013 show. Nothing makes me wish away spring faster than the notion of jewel toned mohawks for fall.
3. Because Chanel Cruise 2013 dictates that you should get an Anna Wintour cut and dye it the color of childhood Easter memories. What Karl says, goes. Oh, and while you’re at it, tattoo a Chanel teardrop under your eye. It’s like you’re in a chic gang and have maybe murdered someone with your killer fashion.
4. Because Chloe Norgaard exists. (And because she had that two-toned flame hair at Nicole Miller’s Fall 2013 show)
5. Because I just did this to my hair. One can never understand the joy that comes from seeing unnatural colors in your hair until you actually have unnatural colors in your hair. Word to the wise though, the bleach component can make you look a little Floridian, or in other words, like a meth user. Make sure you use quality styling tools. I used Remington’s Silk Ceramic Flat Iron, and no one mistook me for a naive teen with chunky highlights wandering the Orlando mall.
P.S. I’m from Florida.
I’m from Florida too, I escaped and now live in California and I love pink in my hair too!
