Hair trend – Glow-in-the-dark rainbow hair!

January 29, 2016 By Hair Romance 13 Comments

Yes, glow-in-the-dark hair is real and it’s actually easy to achieve.

Rainbow hair takes you one move closer to becoming a unicorn. Now you can step it up with hair colour that glows under black light!

Ok, so technically it’s not glow-in-the-dark hair, it’s glow under black light hair but it’s still very cool. Your rainbow hair transforms to vibrant neon under UV lights. Depending on the exact colour, it may be bright under normal lights but it will glow like a neon under ‘black lights’ or UV lights.

Check out these glow in the dark rainbow hair dyes in action below:

How to get the look: Glow-in-the-dark hair dye formulas

Wondering how to get the look? Instagrammer @Rainbowmegz shares her colour formula.

She used three different brands – Punky Colour, Special Effects and Manic Panic. The exact dyes are as follows:

  • Punky Colour: Apple Green, Turquoise (it does kind of glows, but not advertised as glowing) Atlantic Blue, and Plum.
  • Special Effects: Atomic Pink (glows), Napalm orange (glows), Deep purple.
  • Manic Panic: Electric Banana (glows), Electric Lizard (glows), and Electric Lava (mixed with a bit if Punky Colour Poppy Red in hopes I would create a black light reactive red, and it did work)

Where to find UV hair dye?

The brands recommended above are Manic Panic, Punky Colour and Special Effects. Stargazer also do UV sensitive dyes. You can find them all here on Amazon.

Would you ever try rainbow hair? Could you make all your hair glow? Or maybe some clip in glow-in-the-dark hair extensions?

    So fun! I would totally try clip-ins in a glowing rainbow. Back when I was dyeing my hair with these sorts of colours, I probably would have mixed in a blacklight-reactive shade if it went with what I was using, but I didn’t know about them then! And two colours was enough upkeep work that I really could not be bothered with the effort to create and maintain rainbow dyeing my own hair, lol. Definitely clip-in territory.

      There’s definitely a lot of upkeep with these brights, isn’t there? The clip-ins are a total lazy-girl styling hack x

    This looks so cool! Also, are you still using your thehair@hairromance.com email account? I sent you a question about curly hair about a week ago, so I just wanted to make sure you still looked at that email. Thanks!

      Those days are sadly behind me now too, but I would have so many sets of clip in extensions with these dyes – so cool!
