"Tangerine hair" is the latest Insta obsession, and it's here just in time for summer

By Toria Sheffield, HELLO GIGGLES

One of our favorite developments of the last couple years has been the windfall of creative hair trends. We’ve seen unicorn hair, glow-in-the-dark hair, rose-gold blonde hair, dyed gray “grandma” hair, and now, tangerine hair is officially the latest trend for summer. And we LOVE IT.
