Are you like many other people who love a new hairstyle trend? You want to do something interesting and unique with your hair, but you have yet to find something that is truly appealing to you. Why not check out opal hair color. This is one of the most trendy new styles. It has taken over social media because it is so unique in terms of its underlying tones and soft glow. For those looking for something a bit edgy but still soft enough for day to day use, check out opal hair.

First, What Is It?

Opal hair color comes from the blending of the gray hair trend along with rainbow coloring. It’s unique in that it has color that’s soft but still very prominent. The color itself is meant to look as though it is inspired by the sea or opals and pearls. The color itself looks much like the opal gemstone. It has iridescent colors in it such as pinks, purples, and blues. Yet, it has an underlying pearl color tone to it as well. It’s quite difficult to explain, but this hair color is one that you will want to work with carefully.

Why You’ll Love This Color

Opal hair color is really taking the social media world by storm. This color was first brought to light on Instagram where it has gotten a lot of attention from those who are loving the mermaid and unicorn trends. Yes, those trends in hair color remain very much a vibrant option to choose from as well – but opal is even more charming and interesting. For those who can pull off this color, it can be an outstanding choice for many reasons – it looks great, but it is also easy to modify to create the edgy or soft look you are seeking out. For some, this color is really intense, and for others, it is the ideal way to tone down your color a bit.

 So, how could you describe this color in those lines? Consider it a light color of hair with a bit of a peachy undertone. It has a platinum color base to it. Then, throughout that base, there are a number of silver and pink colors. There are often a few hints of ice blue in this color, too. It’s quite the charmer when it comes to creating a unique blend of color.

Who Can Pull It Off?

Not everyone will find it easy to pull off opal hair color. Let’s face it – not everyone can do the platinum blonde look and do well with it. This color is going to work, though, for those who went platinum and want to spice it up some this year. You can mix in the purples and pinks you desire to create your own version of opal hair color, too. You can even put a few tints of orange or green in it to create the look you are after.

The problem, though, comes from those who have darker hair. Even with the best stylist, your hair is going to be troublesome to get to this level of vibrant white to create the proper opal tone. If you do pull it off, it is likely that your hair will have a more gray like undertone to it than platinum. But, you can still pull off the opal look. To do so, create a brighter mixture of blues and pinks in the gray undertone. This can create a stunning look, though it will be a bit darker than the true opal.

So, when it comes down to it, how do you get opal hair color? First, start with the blonde hair that you love. If your hair is not blonde right now, it will be hard to pull this off. However, there are many people who can make it happen. Take into consideration the wide range of color options with opal hair color. You can keep it as light and soft as you like or spice it up with something unique and very much you. Work with your hair stylist to create the look you love. It may be a lot of fun to pull off this hair color trend.
