If you have been following the latest hair trends, you’ll know that bold hair colors are everywhere this year.

For example, red hair has been insanely popular, seen on every celeb. And now we’re seeing “Barbie blonde” start to trend. But, if those aren’t for you, you may want to know some other hair color options that will look stunning!

Blue hair is great option if you want to turn heads with your hair color this season. And today I’ll show you 20 ways to rock it.

Things to Consider Before You Dye Your Hair Blue:

When dying your hair a bright or bold hair color, it is important to consider certain things. For example, you should think about the length of your hair and also you should consider what kind of hair color look you want to achieve.

Here are some questions to ask yourself before you take the plunge:

• Do you want to dye all of your hair one color or do you want to just add some highlights to your hair?
• Do you want a lighter shade or a darker shade? Which one would complement your skin tone best?
• How long is your hair? Blue hair can look completely different depending on hair length — it tends to lean edgy on short hair and glam on long hair.

It can be hard to decide on the blue hair look you want, so that’s where inspo pictures and videos come in.

This post will show you a bunch of on-trend blue hair ideas that will look absolutely stunning and help you decide what kind of blue hair you want!

So, if you are considering dying your hair blue, check out these 20 gorgeous blue hair ideas:

What you do need to consider is what kind of blue you want to go for. One blue shade that is absolutely stunning and looks great on short hair is royal blue hair.

This shade is light, fresh, and will look good with almost everything you wear, so it’s easy to style with your existing wardrobe (not the case for all blue hair!).

Blue Hair Ideas for Long Hair

6. Blue Balayage

Blue balayage is another pretty blue hair idea that will look perfect if your hair is long. This shade looks absolutely gorgeous on long hair, so I totally recommend trying out this blue hair look!

It looks especially good if you already have naturally darker hair because the blue will give your hair a pretty pop of color without looking too extreme.

9. Teal Blue Hair

If you want to dye your hair a bright blue, but you want something different from a royal blue, I recommend going for this pretty bright teal hair shade.

This will look amazing on long hair and truly stands out. Be prepared to turn heads wherever you go — this color is bright!

10. Pastel Blue Hair

If you want a lighter blue shade that’s nice and cool toned, consider going for this pastel blue hair color. This is one of my favorite shades of blue for hair because it is such a beautiful shade of blue and complements cooler skin tones like mine very well.

So, if you think that this hair color will also look good on you (see: How to Find Your Perfect Colors for more on this), I highly recommend trying out this blue hair look!

Blue Hair Highlights

11. Blue Chunky Highlights

Want a statement but don’t feel like bleaching your whole head? Try blue highlights!

The video above shows chunky blue highlights on brown hair, but you could do them on any hair color. Just be aware that you’ll get more contrast if you do them on darker hair.

12. Blue Peek a Boo Highlights

Peek-a-boo highlights are also really cool when done in blue. Peek-a-boo highlights are usually applied only to the bottom half of your hair, meant to add bright pops of color when your hair moves.

If you are considering doing this hair color, check out the example shown in this video to see exactly how it will look!

13. Blue Highlights on Dark Hair

Another way that you can add some blue color to your hair is through subtle blue highlights. This is perfect for you if you have darker hair and want a more subtle change to your hair.

14. Color Block Highlights

Color block highlights are another great way to use blue hair dye. This is when you choose a section of your hair, usually the middle, and apply the highlights in a “block” to this area. Light hair combined with some pastel blue color block highlights looks amazing!

Just check out this video to see if this is the kind of look you want to try.

15. Galaxy Hair

If you want a look that is really out there, you should try the galaxy hair look. If you have never seen galaxy hair before, it is basically when you have all-over purple hair with pink and blue highlights added in. This creates a stunning dimensional effect.
