Starburst Hair Might Be the Next Rainbow Hair

Starburst Hair Might Be the Next Rainbow Hair

There always seems to be a different hair trend popping up; this year alone we’ve had everything from sunset and unicorn hair to your run-of-the-mill rainbow. There’s even been some armpit hair dyeing going on. And with the creation of sherbet hair, it seems people are turning more toward food — particularly sweets — for inspiration. Case in point: The newest dye job to grace your Insta feed is based off of Starbursts.


Hairstylist and makeup artist Kayla Boyer created the bright look using a mix of pink, yellow, and orange. And the finished look really does look like a liquid version of the beloved chewy candy. Boyer explained her process on the “after” photo, saying, “For this creation I lightened her with @pravana#purelightpowerlightener with 20vol, and overlayed with #pravanavivids in neon pink & locked in pink at the base, and melted in neon orange & orange, and yellow & neon yellow through the ends.”

Wow. Hopefully we’ll see some more candy hair in the near future, because how better to celebrate summer than with bright, good-enough-to-eat colors?

What do you think of Boyer’s candy creation? Tell us @BritandCo!
