Somewhere over the rainbow: Celebrities that are rocking colourful hair

We look at the hottest new trend that your favourite Hollywood stars can’t get enough of: rainbow hair!
Katy Perry and Britney Spears

While they’re commonly referred to as stars, perhaps chameleons would be more accurate with they transform themselves for new roles, fine tune a new musical direction or shake up their style.

The hottest new trend that your favourite stars can’t get enough off is rainbow hair!

The latest celeb to debut this fun look is Britney Spears. The blonde beauty opted for a cool ombre interpretation, dipping the tips of platinum locks in a pastel medley of blue, green and lilac as she made her mark at the Teen Choice Awards in LA on Sunday.

Kelly Osbourne has had a long-standing love affair with purple hair but we adore how she explores different variations of the intriguing colour in softer shades.

Nicole Richie and Katy Perry are definitely pioneers of the edgy trend – changing up their ‘do with a swish of the paint brush. Between the two beauties, their hair has covered the spectrum of the entire rainbow!

But for some of us, techni-coloured locks can be a little bit scary – which is why we can’t help but covet Helen Mirren and Kate Hudson’s laxed renditions of the exciting fad.

They teach us that a touch of colour goes a long way!

Queen of the rainbow hair: Katy Perry. The songtress changes her hair to reflect her music and personality at the time.

For those of us who’d like to dip their toes into the tantalising world of rainbow hair – look to the divine Kate Hudson. We love how she add hues of light pink to her blonde locks.

The enchantress that is Helen Mirren can do no wrong, as she rocks a fairy floss-coloured pixie cut. Talk about being pretty, nay, FIERCE in pink!

Style icon Nicole Richie makes hair colour transition seem like a breeze. The mum-of-two loves to experiment but at the end of the day it is all about healthy hair! “I only wash my hair once a week, don’t judge. I personally believe that the less you do with your hair the healthier it is for it!”

Kelly Osbourne is the queen of purple. We just can’t enough of her exploration of the colour, from bright lilac to romantic mauve with a silver edge!
