Mint Green Hairstyles

Green is a color found in nature, that’s why it’s very appealing to every human being. Mint green is a cool, refreshing hue, optimal for summer. Check the following hair color and hair style ideas, and maybe you’ll want to try mint green right away!

1. Braided and Bunned

If you’re headed to a music festival or EDM concert, you want to make sure you hold nothing back when it comes to your look. That’s why multi-shaded pastel turquoise hair is a must for the festival season. When worn in an equally cool hairdo — like braided messy buns — your uninhibited style and flair won’t be denied.

2. Seafoam Sensation

Contrary to the colored hair movement of the ’80s, neon locks are not reserved for hardcore punkers or artsy-fartsy crowds. So, pastel green hair can be worn as feminine and chic as you want, because this color is one for the masses. In fact, try styling it in loose beach waves for a look that’s very in now.

3. Prismatic Wonder

Light green hair doesn’t need to stand alone to shine. Go for a holographic look by incorporating green, teal, purple and pink highlights into your ‘do. Now, this look is not an easy one to achieve, but the results are so amazing, it’s totally worth the fuss. And, hey, you only live once!

Give your light teal tresses a metallic finish with a tortoiseshell hairstyle that incorporates glossy, white-blonde pieces. The blonde gives your hair an iridescent feel that’s beyond gorgeous. Just make sure you’re using color-enhancing products to keep that shine going.

5. The Teal Deal

Want to brighten up that blonde mane of yours even more? Try a pastel green hair look that is as funky as it is beautiful. If you’re already sporting blonde locks, the color transition should not be too difficult. However, darker hair will certainly need more bleaching and stripping prior to going green.

9. Lavender Mint Ombre

Pastels don’t always have to have glossy, shiny finishes. The light shades of purple and teal can also work in a cool matte, especially when worn in ombre style. In fact, this ashy tone might be the hottest thing about your hair color.

10. Chin-Length Locks

Short and sweet bobs are all well and good, but teal-colored bobs are the stuff of dreams. A bright, unexpected blast of green color on the top half of your chin-length hair is great for breaking up the monotony of normal, natural hair color.

Want to take a cool spin on a vintage hairstyle? Try retro curls dressed up in a light mint hue. The combination of classic and modern eclectic might be a match made in hair heaven.

13. Prismatic Pastels

Show off your long locks by creating a pastel rainbow effect that extends throughout the length of your hair. The panels of color should melt into each other so the transition is natural and well-blended.

14. Beautiful in Bluish-Green

Mint green hair comes in all shades and sizes. In fact, the hue can sometimes contain a lovely blue undertone for a more aquatic look. Try this light bluish-green shade with blonde balayage and you’ll be truly stylish.

OK, if you’re not ready to take a swan dive into the mint green ocean, that’s fine. Try dipping your toe via sporadic green highlights sprinkled through the bottom of your hair.

16. Aquamarine Dream

The best part about blue and green hair is the way it looks in even the simplest of styles. Take, for example, a loose, cascading double-topsy tail. This may take you just a few minutes to throw together but the beauty of your fancy hair will last all day long.
