Blood moons might be about as rare as blue moons, but Maryland-based hairstylist Megan Schipani
just showed us a way to channel its red glow whenever you want. Enter
"blood moon" hair. Schipani took cues from the moody tones of the total
lunar eclipse, which occurs every one to two years, and dyed one of her
clients' hair stunning shades of blue and orange.

Although Schipani has brought us food-inspired hair-color trends like PB and J, the beloved Blackberry, and Halo Top, this is the first time she's used the moon as her muse. "I have always wanted to and thought about it before," she tells Allure.
"Lately, I've been feeling a little bit out of whack, and it's been
brought to my attention that it's probably due to the moon. Instead of
[being] annoyed by it and blaming everything on it, I decided I would do
a color inspired by it."

For
her first time venturing into the celestial realm for inspiration,
Schipani started off by lightening her client's hair to create a
completely blonde canvas. "In order for this color to be as vibrant as
it is, it must be applied on pre-lightened hair," she says. "I would
recommend lifting the hair to a level eight or higher." Then, the
stylist whipped up a blood orange dye for the roots and a smoky blue for
the rest of the look. She painted them on in their respective sections,
using the popular shadow root technique.
If you're unfamiliar, that's when the roots are dyed different color
than the rest of the hair. It helps give rainbow hair depth and
dimension.
