Megan Rapinoe's Hair Just Got Even Brighter With Her New Magenta Color

Sep 12 2019 - 3:05pm

Megan Rapinoe [1] is almost as recognizable for her pink hair as she is for her skills on the soccer field (keyword: almost), and the athlete just got a major hair color upgrade. The Reign FC winger and member of the National Women's Soccer League [2] got a visit from celebrity hairstylist Riawna Capri [3] for a touch-up.

Capri documented the entire color session on her Instagram Story, transforming Rapinoe's hair from a faded light pink to a vivid magenta hue. The hairstylist even included pictures of the flowers, which appear to be crepe myrtle, that inspired her to create a bright color. To get the vivid hue, Capri first used Joico Color Eraser [4] ($8) to strip the hair of any leftover pink. Next, she created the custom hue by blending Joico dyes in orchid, pink, and soft pink until it matched her bouquet.

Ahead, see Rapinoe's original hue as well as her bright new magenta hair color.
