Denim hair trends are an innovative new way to showcase one of everyone’s favorite fabrics. Their soothing blue and grey hue can look either edgy or feminine depending on its shade, making this trend the ultimate fashion statement.
Blue
Blue hair color is like the perfect pair of jeans–it instantly attracts and flatters. From light to dark shades, depending on your natural shade and coloring history, blue hues look stunning when worn in a chin-length bob with blunt bangs. Additionally, blue works well as an all-over color or a balayage treatment; its darker variant, Indigo, works beautifully on all skin tones.
Indigo
Indigo is an all-natural hair dye produced from the Indigofera Tinctoria plant, used as fabric and medicine. Indigo plant leaves are harvested and ground into powder as natural hair dye. Indigo should be applied directly onto the scalp and ends of hair for up to two hours, depending on the desired color intensity. Carryl notes that natural hair dye enthusiasts who opt for indigo and henna mixtures often combine the two products to achieve deeper, richer black shades. Indigo can also help cover up stubborn grays. Indigo can be applied by mixing the powder with warm water to form a paste and wearing gloves while handling it if applied directly with hands. Once mixed, apply this paste directly onto clean, product-free hair for 45 to two hours, depending on desired intensity, before rinsing thoroughly and repeating as intuitively required.
Stonewash
Unlike your favorite faded pair of jeans, denim hair looks relaxed and casual. From rich blue-gray hues to mermaid-inspired blends and denim and pink combos, there is sure to be something in this category that complements every skin tone. If you love the blue jeans trend but aren’t ready for a drastic color transformation, try opting for a subtler shade like stonewash instead. It works exceptionally well on blondes with naturally cool undertones who benefit from soft contrast against paler skin tones. To achieve the jean-inspired shade, your hair must first be bleached. Adam Reed from Percy and Reed recommends our Vitamino A: OX Soft Cleanser Shampoo as a preventive measure during this step, which will also keep your strands healthy during the color process. Once completed, use L’Oreal Paris Advanced Hairstyle AIR DRY IT Wave Swept Spray before bed to achieve beachy waves – this way, when you wake up, all that remains is running a brush through your strands before running through them all with ease!
