If you’re looking to transform your locks into something that’s soft, feminine, and multi-colored, look no further: The opal hair trend is here, and it’s perfect for you. The look is created by bleaching out hair into a soft white hue, then adding some flashes of soft rainbow colors into the mix. It’s meant to give off that mother of pearl sheen, and it’s actually quite beautiful. There’s no telling how much time or money it might take to achieve this new look, but after seeing the photos below, it might not matter.
These tresses are truly magical. Dug through my archives and found a few more examples of #opalhair. This is from around 2011, I think, hence the low quality. #pastelhair #rainbowhair #candyhair #unicornhair #mermaidhair #manicpanic A photo posted by Ursula Goff (@uggoff) on Sep 3, 2015 at 9:44am PDT.
