Rocking rainbow beauty trends [1] is not for the faint of heart, and vibrant hair [2] tops the list of bold beauty risks. You've already learned about (and obsessed over) sand art hair [3] — now there's another style to surrender your strands to, thanks to colorist Danny Moon [4] and Pravana [5]. Brace yourself for colombré!

This riff on ombré hair (which gradually lightens as you go down the hair shaft) gives the now-classic style a colorful makeover. "For colombré, rather than lightening the bottom half of the hair to a blond shade, the midshaft to the ends are transformed into a creative color, like blue, pink, purple, or turquoise," explained Moon. Instead of an all-over rainbow effect like sand art hair, colombré is a more subtle style. "It leaves the top half of hair a darker, natural shade with a gradual shift down to creative color," said Moon.

He uses Pravana Vivids Locked-In shades because the colors don't bleed or transfer to the other hues in your hair. Try it in pastels for a dreamier style, or go for superbright shades for a head-turning look. Still not convinced? Consider colombré a style upgrade. "It's great for people looking to revamp their current traditional ombré with something more bright," Moon suggested. Read on to get inspired for your next salon appointment.
