Ocean hair is the latest colour trend making waves on Instagram

Look what we found 'surfing' the internet! Yes, ocean-inspired hair is the summer trend that'll wash you away!   

With hair colour ideas a plenty (think tangy tangerine hues and marvellous marble hair) you may well have thought you had seen them all. But as we were casually surfing through our social media feed, we spotted ocean-inspired hues making some serious waves – pun intended.

So, what should you expect from ocean-inspired hair? Well, multi-toned colours in an array of shades and bucket loads of tranquil, ocean-like finishes. And as our minds turn to beach holidays, ocean hair arrives just in time for summer and all the fun, sun-filled events coming our way (yay)!

Ocean hair is our newest obsession
