Every year, there is something new that pops up in the beauty and fashion scene, especially in the summer. This year, it is coloured hair!
Summer is considered the season of colour when people can have fun in the sun and let their hair down. What better way to do that than in colourful hair? From colourful extension clips pieces, wigs, braid extension pieces, crochet hair and even colouring the natural hair, the options are endless as to what route to take.
Over the top coloured hair, ironically, has been a no-go area for people of colour, except celebrities like Nicki Minaj and Rihanna, who have long ditched the trend for more demure colours. That is history now, because this summer, black women and men all over the world have thrown that stereotype out the window and are rocking the trend with style.
Check out the ways some popular and not so popular blacks are rocking this trend. You never know, you might just find something for you. Some of them are not the usual choice of hair colour, but people prove they sure can be!

The natural hair community is not left out of the equation!

If you are uncertain on which colours to choose, why not try rainbow? Combine all these wonderful colors and create a unique look just for you.
Colouring the natural hair can be a risk because of how fragile it becomes after colouring. Using permanent dyes strips the hair off its natural moisture and could lead to breaking and general hair loss. It is advised to take extra good care of the hair after dye application by regular use of conditioners and moisturizers to replace what is lost.
