Although we happen to come across them regularly in the fall because of the unstable weather, the rainbow is still associated with the return of sunny days (with butterflies flying all over the air and the bees that forage the flowers… Yes okay, we kept our child's soul). It is therefore not very surprising if the colored phenomenon is back in force in the hair again this year. After the Hidden Rainbow and the Hidden Rainbow Roots, which respectively consisted of hiding a section of multicolored hair under the upper layers of mop and coloring only the roots with vibrant colors, the rainbow comes out of its hiding place in the spring. 2018. Indeed, it is proudly displayed on the fringe but paradoxically remains more subtle than in the 2 previous looks. Popularized on Instagram by Caitlin Ford, a colorist from St. Louis in the U.S. state of Missouri, the style is all about horizontally coloring in chunky bangs while keeping your natural color at the roots for a more natural effect.
The professional, who does her coloring herself as she shows in a video posted online (above), chose to use 3 shades:yellow, blue and red which bring even more pep to her bright yellow hair. “I had the idea for this rainbow bangs last summer. I wanted to bring an original touch while keeping my hair healthy, so I had the idea of this pattern “, she tells Cosmo US . She points out that the fading phase is unavoidable if you want the colors to come out properly and people to notice the look. She herself has been wildly successful for several months now and the compliments don't just come from anonymous people:“I was lucky enough to meet Fergie [l'ex-singer des Black Eyed Peas, ndlr] who m said she was absolutely a fan of my bangs. It will remain the best moment in my hair history […] People in the street also stop me to tell me that they like my coloring. It's the best business card for me, because when they compliment me, I tell them I'm a hairdresser. […] I also think having a fun hairstyle encourages my clients to get a little crazy about their own heads “, she concludes. We keep the idea for a festival for example and nothing obliges to use permanent coloring, sprays or chalks that go away after a shampoo can do the trick very well!
