The floral-inspired hair trend that we can’t help but love

The name might be strange but it makes sense too

Succulent hair.

Yep, it might sound completely mad but that is indeed the name of the hair trend that’s got everyone talking at the minute.

The bright, vibrant mesh of colour is titled ‘succulent’ because these are the two shades most prominently found in succulent flowers and this has sparked a new hair craze.

There have been too many to even mention and each one is generally more fab that the last.

In the last couple of months alone, we’ve been lusting after chocolate mauve, one that brunette gals need to check out and colour melting, an understated technique that can be adapted to suit most shades.

Back to the succulent vibe anyway, which has been spotted in abundance all over Instagram, with a number of expert colourists creating their own personal mix of pink and green floral hues.

With a style this particular, I’d recommend visiting a professional rather than attempting a DIY job. It could go VERY wrong.

Have a look at the below posts for some succulent hairspiration.

Remember when @dignityblows and I made a YouTube tutorial about how to do #succulenthair and now it’s a trend? ???

INSTAGRAM HAIR TREND OF THE WEEK! Meet #SUCCULENTHAIR…haircolor inspired by everyone’s favorite wedding favor! Stylists across the U.S. have been dyeing their clients’ locks with a gorgeous mix of green, purple, teal, and pink to mimic the natural colors of succulents. On Instagram, under the #succulenthair tag, you’ll find excellent examples of the hair-color trend—in between pictures of women literally wearing tiny succulents in their hair on their wedding days. Aly Louch, a stylist at Shear Excitement Salon & Spa in Pompano Beach, Florida, tried out succulent hair on a client who is obsessed with the plants. “We had been talking about creating a piece inspired by succulents for some time,” Louch tells Allure. “Finally, we just decided to stop talking about it and do it.” Before the succulent dye job, the model had different shades of blue, purple, and pink in her hair, so Louch had to strip her hair of the rainbow entirely before starting the coloring process. Once the model’s hair was basically a blank canvas, Louch brushed on a mix of vivid greens, leaving out the bottom two inches. Then Louch went back in to “melt and diffuse the ends with a mixture of pink, magenta, and wild orchid with a drop of violet,” she says. #redavid #redavidhair #hair #fashion #beauty #americansalon #modernsalon #beautylaunchpad #behindthechair #hairscience #orchidoil #sciencethatworks #stylingthatstuns #hairtrend #trend #haircolor #unicorntribe
