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.

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.
