Let's be honest: We've all seen that bright unicorn-looking hair and convinced ourselves that we could never pull it off. Even though anyone can pull off any trend with the right attitude, we totally get the off-limits thinking. So if you've wanted to try colorful locks but have been too nervous to, this new hair trend is right up your alley!

The amazing thing about this trend is that it's so much easier to maintain than its brighter counterpart. Dubbed the mother-of-pearl style, the pastel colors are lighter than those bright unicorn-like shades, so they blend into your natural color easily. So even though you'll still have to work to maintain its hue, you won't have to run to the salon to get the pinks, purples, and blues back into your locks as often.

Some versions are more subtle…

Anyone who has ever dyed their hair a crazy color knows that while the Instagram picture looks incredible, those initial gorgeous locks can fade within days. There's nothing we can really do about those grown out roots, but you can help preserve your color longer with some great, inexpensive products!

So if you're craving a change — especially for summer — we may have found the perfect trend for you!
