</a><p>I want to preface this by saying that to get the best bright colors, you actually need to have light hair. No exceptions. If you see a brunette with pastel hair, don't get it twisted - she had someone bleach her hair to achieve that look. That said, you can definitely color your hair bright hues as a brunette, but think about layering a lighter shade, like white, under a color to make it pop. It might take more work, but you can still do it. </p><br /><p>Now that that's out of the way, MERMAID HAIR! UNICORN HAIR! RAINBOW BRIGHT HAIR! Whatever you want to call it, it's a fun, vibrant look that lets you embrace your inner artist. And although I mentioned that bleach is involved, you can try these methods on your hair if you've already lifted to a blond tone. Check out the three methods you can DIY</a> in the video, and don't worry - these are all temporary, so they'll wash out immediately or over a few weeks. Just remember to wear gloves and something you don't mind getting dirty, and avoid wearing white if you're using chalk!</p><br /><p>Products used:<br /><br />Non-oil-based chalk from an art store<br /><br />Joico Instatint</a><br /><br />Similar spray</a><br /><br />Manic Panic</a></p><br /><p>Hair direction by hair artist Caroline Guiney</a>.</p><br />
