Slime Roots Are the Latest Instagram Hair Trend We’re Not Quite Sure We Need
With the rise of geode locks and jewel-toned hair, Instababes have been rocking OTT hues for spring. And just when you think it couldn’t get more shocking, another bold look has come front and center. Slime-colored roots are all over Instagram. Once viewed as a gross, after-pool hair color, this bright nature-inspired hue is kinda, sorta making us green with envy. Want to see if you need to give this trend a go? Check out all seven looks below.
1. Lemon-Lime Locks: Dye your strands based off your favorite lemon-lime soda, like this gorgeous hairdo. This look is best served bold with an angled bob to add a bit of edge.
2. Slime Color block: From ocean-floor blue to bright, slime green, this color-block look is to dye for (see what we did there?). For hot spring days, twist into a side plait with added flowers to keep those sweat beads at bay.

7. Green Ombre: Say so long to boring, ombre hairdos and instead rock this lime-inspired ‘do. Twist your strands with a curling iron, and run your fingers through them to achieve beachy waves that you can strut way into summer.
