Gemini Hair
In 2023, Pinterest predicts two-toned tresses will take off more than ever. Gen Z and Millennials are behind this rising trend in hair color that mixes natural hues with bright blues, purples and pinks—“blue and black braids” and “lavender and blonde hair” are on the up.
Trending search terms: Blue and black braids, lavender and blonde hair, pink and lavender hair, brown to pink balayage, multi tone hair color.
