Keep reading to read insider tips for how to perfectly blend your roots into your new color, and for some major geode hair inspiration:
Geode Hair Inspiration for Days
1. Purple-Blue Blend
This unique trend takes its name from the geological secondary structures which occur in certain sedimentary and volcanic rocks. It’s a natural phenomenon that has recently been translated into a breathtaking hair trend. The insides of these rocks are lined with crystals and other mineral matter and they hold an incredible combination of color. As seen on Joico Color Intensity, this multi-dimensional color seamlessly blend into darker roots, showing-off a stylish and edgy look.
2. Purple Geode
Geode colors tend to complement women with darker tresses more than lighter colors. This particular combination of purple, blue and green instantly lifts darker locks and the contrast that results is positively stunning. While your roots will stay natural, achieving such a vibrant shade of color will probably require bleaching your strands to start. For that reason this trend is best tested in the salon and be prepared to give re-hydrate your strands with a mask like TRESemmé Botanique Color Vibrance & Shine Intensive Mask.
3. Amethyst Hue and Moonstone Blue
After the bottom half of your hair is bleached to create a blank canvas to work with, an amethyst hue is applied to the midsection of your locks, like in this image from Mizzchoi, and a moonstone blue to the very tips. Avoiding the roots is key for this style so that your hair can seamlessly transition from brown to purple to blue and so that you can take advantage of that striking contrast.
4. Striking Blue
You’ll also want to keep your geode hair in tip-top shape after subjecting it to bleach. Make sure to invest in a wash and care system that’s specially formulated for dyed locks. One of our favorite duos is the Suave Vivid Color Shampoo and Suave Vivid Conditioner. If you’re hoping to rock this hair color with the messy waves pictured above, you’ll want to check out our tutorial for textured waves. Combined, this color and style are the perfect look.
