If you feel stuck in a hair rut, then break yourself out of it! Most of us stick to the same old black, brown or blonde colors for years on end until we eventually go grey. But the rainbow is full of a dazzling array of colors, so why not try some of them out? Find one bold shade to really make you stand out from the crowd, or go for an eye-catching array of colors for that mermaid effect. Here are some of our favorite rainbow hair looks to inspire you to take the plunge this summer.
