One of the greatest things about hair color is the ability to express yourself in a multitude of different ways, and nowhere is this more apparent than in those who dye their hair in bold and unorthodox colors. If you’ve previously stuck to “safer” colors like blonde, black, and brown, now’s your chance to branch out and take inspiration from a whole rainbow of shades. Why not experiment first with blue hair?
PERMANENT BLUE HAIR DYE FOR THE ADVENTUROUS
Have you seen people with blue hair pass you by and had to do a double take because of how cool it looks? No wonder! Not only is it vibrant and unique, but it is also a versatile color with plenty of different shades to choose from and many ways to style it.
Whether you want bright blue streaks, a subtle pastel shade, or an all-over color, there is a shade of blue hair to suit anyone. Indigo, pastel blue, teal, navy blue, cobalt, are just a few beautiful blue shades. It's easy to achieve your desired color and transform your look to reflect your unique personality too. Rest azured you’ll love whichever shade you choose and it will look great with whatever haircut you have, be it pixie cut, long hair, layered hair, or inverted bob.
There are, however, a few things to bear in mind before you reach for the dye. If you have dark hair and want a color that is lighter than your current shade, your hair will need to be lightened first. If your hair isn't lightened before you apply the blue hair dye, the color may not look as intense and vibrant as you were hoping. göt2b Lightened 00A Heavenly Blonde can help you get there by lifting your hair color by up to eight levels!

TEMPORARY BLUE HAIR TO TEST THE WATERS
For those who want to experience what it's like to dye their hair blue but without the long-term commitment, there's a solution. Temporary blue hair dye lets you have fun and experiment without worrying about being parted from your original hair color for too long. Whether you want to create a look for a special occasion or are preparing for a more permanent image change, experimenting with temporary blue hair is fun and carefree.
The main consideration when using non-permanent blue hair dye is the efficacy to which it will penetrate the hair shaft. This largely depends on what color your hair is before you apply temporary blue hair color. For those with blonde hair, a temporary blue hair dye will take very easily and appear bright and vivid. We recommend Color Pop Blue, which will give you a head-turning vivid color. For those with darker hair, this type of blue hair color won't be as strong or vibrant, although it may still offer a subtle and noticeable hue.
DYEING YOUR HAIR MULTIPLE COLORS
While blue hair is certainly a great look on almost anyone, a number of adventurous spirits out there have taken it to the next level by using a number of different colors on their hair for a truly eclectic look. For instance, swirling blue and purple hair or dip-dyeing the ends of your blue hair with pink…the possibilities are endless. Be as creative as you want to be and teal the show. Mermaid hair and oil slick hair are just two of the many ways you can mix blue with other colors and end up with stunning results. Try göt2b Metallics M75 Cosmic Teal or M69 Amethyst Chrome to complement your stunning blue hair.
