Confession: I have about a thousand saved IG posts of new hair color ideas. I’m talking tons of dimensional caramel hair colors, a mix of strawberry-blonde hair ideas, and, of course, a few rainbow hair ideas. Because when it comes to my hair, I’ll try anything once. But the look I’m obsessed with right now? Blue hair in every shade and tone, like blue-ombré hair, dark-navy colors, and barely there tints. And it makes sense why blue hair is so trendy right now: It’s so customizable, virtually everyone can wear it (see: going cooler or warmer to match your skin tone, or tiptoeing into the look with a sheer at-home color gloss).
But just in case you didn’t think blue hair was for you, I rounded up 25 of the best blue hair looks and ideas of 2022 to screenshot asap, and also chatted with hair colorists Kacey Welch, Dolly Hernandez, and Nikki Lee about how to maintain blue hair, the best shades to try, and more.
