The same Aussie-based salon — Blondies of Melbourne — that brought you hidden rainbow roots has churned out yet another trend to add to 2017's ever-growing list of crazy-cool hair color: #ConfettiHair.
Salon owner Karen Lewis told Cosmopolitan.com that
she dubbed it "confetti hair" because, "it's soft, pretty, happy, and
it imparts little spots of pure joy on the hair like confetti!"
Want

Start with bleached or super-light blonde hair, like Blondies salon-goer Nicole has below:
Next, start to add color (Lewis's salon often uses
Pravana, but for a temporary effect, you can use bold shades from Manic
Panic), alternating shades, leaving a bit of your natural blonde to show
through. This is what gives your strands the confetti look:
"You can work with any color palette," Lewis said,
"but go for candy-colored pastels for a more subtle effect or bright
fashion colors for a bolder look."

Wait about 20 minutes and then rinse the color out
with cool water. "The colors will slowly fade back to the blonde base
with each wash. As with all colors, the more frequently they are washed,
the faster they will fade," adds Lewis, "but we recommend washing your
hair with cooler water to prolong the color."
