Why pick one, when you can have them all? We love this extra-vibrant take on the oil slick hair trend. Just be sure to go two to three days between washing to extend the life of your bright, eye-catching colors. To DIY this look at home, try Splat Midnight Hair Color, $8.99.
So what if you're a naturally light brunette? You can still pull off the trend by adding subtle red highlights to the green/purple/blue scheme — and it looks just as beautiful in a subdued tone. It instantly jazzes up your natural look, and there is zero bleaching required. Winning (does happy dance).
Regular touch-ups? No, thanks. This oil slick ombre allows ladies to go longer between hair appointments by keeping the color strictly to the ends (if you're working with your natural hair color at the root, of course). Just be sure to use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner (we love B3 Brazilian Bond Builder Color Care Shampoo, $30, and the B3 Brazilian Bond Builder Color Care Conditioner, $32), to ensure your dazzling strands stay fabulous.
This 'do is pure mermaid magic. Play up vivid colors by adding some texture to the hair. Grab a 1-inch curling iron and, starting at eye level, curl hair, alternating directions with each section until your whole head is a beaming with bouncy, colorful tendrils.
Could her hair be any more slick? (Hehe.) Her dark and shiny mane works as a perfect contrast against the vivid pops of color, and plays up the chic, "inky" look that oil slick hair calls for. And they say blondes do it better, psh.
