Trendy Hair Colors that are Office Appropriate
Everywhere I look there is a woman rocking a beautiful trendy hair colors (THAT I WANT!!!). You can simply scroll
down your time line on Instagram or Facebook and see tons of women with just about every color you
can think of from hot pink, purple, blue, red, or even neon green. O how I envy them! I think to myself
how I wish I could change my look and rock a fiery red or a really cute rose gold pink. I’m loving this
“express yourself through your hair color trend” but I can’t partake in it because my corporate job has
strict rules and regulations against “unnatural hair colors” in the workplace.
And plus it’s seen as
unprofessional. (Mama didn’t raise no fool). But it’s such a disappointment. I’m young and sometimes I
just want to do something wild and crazy with my hair, but I don’t want to get fired in the process. I got
bills to pay. And plus I like to eat! Lol No hair color is worth my quality of living. Luckily, I have figured
out a way to cheat the system and get the best of both worlds. So if you are in the same boat as me
keep reading because I’ll be giving you a some tips on how to get away with rocking trendy hair colors
that are office appropriate in the workplace.
Bold Tips
Dyed tips are a great way to push the norms of trendy hair colors at work. For instance if your hair is already
dark in color such as a jet black you could try dying your tips a deep royal blue or a really dark red or
purple. You should use a color that will blend well with your natural hair and not cause too much of a
distraction.

Ombré Styles
Ombré hair colors are the perfect compromise for trendy hair colors for the workplace. Don’t go wild
and crazy now lol. Stick to more natural colors and hues such as honey blondes, browns, and coppers.
Highlights and Lowlights
Highlights and lowlights are perfect for adding depth and dimension to your hair. It’s great for turning an
outdated style and color and making it trendier. Now a days highlights are considered to be acceptable
in an office setting. However, if you are concerned about being a little to risqué, you should consider
babylights which is a method used to make your highlights look more natural.
Stay away from bright and unnatural hair colors. However, if you are some shade of blonde or have
really light hair you can get away with highlighting with discreet colors such as silver, lavender, light
pink, or even red if you have strawberry blonde hair. Make sure to select a color that will blend quietly
and readily with your natural hair color.
Peak-A-Boo Hair
The peak-a-boo method is probably my favorite option, because I can choose any color I want and it not
can be seen unless I expose that layer of my hair. If you are little confused, the peak-a-boo coloring
method is simply a way of hiding your desired hair color by dying the bottom layer of your hair. You can
choose any bright or off the wall the color and it will never show unless you style your hair in a way to
show it off.
When your hair is down, the vibrant and bright color(s) underneath will disappear and are no longer
visible.
Trendy Colors that are Office Appropriate
If all else fails you can always use hair extensions. No one can dictate how you wear your hair once you
are off the clock. Clip in hair extensions are a great way to play around with trendy hair colors. And the best part
about them is you can instantly change your look in a matter of seconds. You can always experiment
with wigs, which is another great options. Corporate woman by day and fun girl by night.
I hope these tips has helped to give you an idea of some of the ways you can play around with color in
an office setting. Please let me know if any of these has worked for you.
