Piece-y Rainbow Dye

This is one of our favorite types of mermaid hairstyle. Unlike the classic ombre, where one hair color bleeds into the next in a seamless way, this technique takes sections of individual locks and dyes them in contrasting color. The result is this piece-y effect where every color of the rainbow stands out in pieces in every lock. This style is also very high-maintenance and will take hours and hours to get. It is worth the effort though.

Red Roots

To achieve the look, get your stylist to color your hair an unusual red color from the roots to mid-length. Leave the rest of your hair its natural color or dye it a bright blonde, as shown by the model above. This hair technique works great with updos.

Multi Women Hairstyles with Two Colors

If you are new to dying your hair, it might be best to stick to using two different colors. You can either mix a more original color with your natural hair color or opt for a style that mixes two colors.

Classic Black Underneath Layers

This is a simple but efficient way to mix colors. Get some dark or deep brown underneath layers and some lighter hues at the top. You can opt for a blonde color, a light brown hue or choose something more original like pastel pink. This style is amazing for a short bob!

Balayage Or Ombre Hair

These techniques allow a stylist to create a gradient effect on your hair. A balayage or ombre style will blend the color with your natural hair color or with another hue you selected. You can use more than two hues if you have some length, but it might be best to stick to two colors for a shorter hairstyle. These styles look particularly good with layers, feathered hair, waves, and curls.

Bolder Multi Women Hairstyles

There are no limits to what you can do with hair dye. There are always new trends popping up, such as rainbow or mermaid hair.

Learn to Style Your Multicolor Hair

The great thing about using several hues of hair due is that your hair will look very different depending on how you style it. Learn different types of braids, such as French, Dutch, or fishtail braids so you can easily create a style where different colors are intertwined. If braids aren’t your thing, you can use twists or simply do your hair up to reveal different hues.

Unicorn and Mermaid Hair

You have probably seen these colorful trends on social media. Getting mermaid or unicorn hair is one of the boldest ways to use hair dye, but the result is definitely fun and original. Keep in mind that getting one of these hairstyles is a long process since your stylist will have to dye several strands individually. Mermaid’s hair uses blue, green, teal, silver and other similar colors while unicorn hair emphasizes pastel pink and purple hues.

Short Rainbow Styles

Short hair and bright colors are a strong fashion statement. Rainbow hair consists of dying several strands of hair in bright hues, usually on a pixie cut. You can create a gradient, get a rainbow effect or dye the hair more randomly to create something unique. Rainbow hair is really fun when paired with the faux-hawk look or with a side-swept style!
