Trend alert: Try Mother of Pearl hair colour

Mother of pearl has been the evergreen buzzword in fashion, what with special nail polishes, blushes and lipsticks aiming to create the shine. The iridescent gem is again back in trend, albeit as a hair colour. A take on opal hair, this trend involves bleaching the hair, painting on a multitude of holographic shades, and then finishing with a toner and a special colour enhancer. The luminous twist on the traditional sun soaked blonde hair comes in a variety of shades — like the colour inside an oyster shell to petal pink or silvery smoke.

So, go for this whimsical hair colour, because unlike mindless trends, this is actually gorgeous.
