Glamorous Green Hairstyle Ideas
Green hair is all the rage right now for fans of unusual hair colors partially because it's simply awesome, but also thanks to Billie Eilish representing with lime green roots at the Grammy Awards. If you're looking for a new hair color in time for St. Patrick's Day, we think green hair is the obvious choice!
Neon Green Under lights
With this color scheme, the
Sorting Hat would barely touch your head before yelling out:
"SLYTHERIN!" Rock the colors of your favorite Hogwarts House with
these sneaky lime under lights.
Lime Frost
Frost your tips with a
bright neon shade for an Instagram-worthy update to your curls.
Bright Green All-Over
For a bold start
to the list, I offer up this gorgeous lime green all-over color. For a color
like this to show up exactly like this on your hair, I highly recommend
lightening up to a level 8 or higher. For a tutorial on lightening your hair. I really like to use
Ion Color Brilliance Bright White Creme Lightener and 20 volume developer when
lightening my hair.
Once you have
gotten your hair to the appropriate shade of blonde, you can achieve this color
green with a couple of different hair colors. My number one pick to achieve
this color would be Pravana Chromasilk Vivid in Neon Green. You can also try
Manic Panic in Electric Lizard mixed with a little bit of Green Envy.
The easiest way to
apply this one would be to section your hair, and apply the product with gloved
hands. When using semi- or demi- permanent dyes, the longer you leave the
product in, the better. Unlike permanent dyes, they don't have ammonia or other
things that can damage your hair so it's totally okay to leave them in for a
little longer. I recommend 45 minutes to an hour for this shade of green.
Emerald Green All Over
Hands down, this is my number one favourite colour
in the world and when you put it on hair it just becomes that much more
magical. Your hair doesn't need to be super blonde, I would say level 7 or
higher, in order to execute this look - but I will say that you should remove
as much orange as you can before applying, otherwise it might look a little
funky. To remove brassiness, you may consider using a purple shampoo or a toner
prior to dying.
As far as hair dyes that you could use to get
this color of green - there are a couple on the market. One N Only Argan Oil Dye
in Emerald Green, which I've used before and love, or Lime Crime Jello would be
great colors to use for this. You may need to purchase multiple tubes if your
hair is as long and thick as in the picture - typically when I dye my hair I
need two to three tubes to cover it all!
The best way to apply this
dye would be to section your hair and apply it with a gloved hand. To get all
the way to your roots, use a tint brush. Leave the dye in for 30 minutes to an
hour before washing out. To upkeep, mix green dye with colorless conditioner
and let it sit in your hair for 20 minutes as a hair mask. Doing it this way
will help keep your hair shiny and radiant and also keep the color from going
dull.
Neon Green Hair Color Gradient
This is the kind of green hair color
that will bring all eyes directly towards you. It’s a phenomenal hair dye
gradient of warm green tones, starting with dark forest green at the roots,
which gradually becomes lighter and lighter as lime at the mids and hot neon
chartreuse at the ends.
Ocean Weather Green Hair
This marvelous green hair color
creation truly reminds us of the ocean. The dark blue at the top is like the
ocean depths, while the seafoam and mint green shades at the ends remind us of
the waves and surf. A thread of Lavender hair through the mids is a few
gray storm clouds adding a complex, foreboding touch.
