To Dye For

Discover last year's hottest hair color: milk tea

In 2017, "granny gray" (a mixed gray-white) was one of the hottest color choices in hair, but last year, "milk tea" rose to the top. Somewhere between gray and gold, this hue conveys a smooth feeling. It adds a splash of personality with candy colors such as pink or green, with techniques including highlighting and bleaching for additional style points.

If you want your fashionable, healthy hair to last, you'd better follow these tips. First of all, testing before you start dyeing is vital - some hair dye may contain allergens that could set you off. Make sure there aren't any cuts on your scalp and that your skin is back to normal 48 hours after you do the test. While you're doing the actual dyeing, too, avoid getting any dye on the scalp, skin, eyes or mouth.
