The Succulents Beauty Trend: Is It For Real?

Succulents are pretty well known to be the perfect little plants for homeowners, requiring scant attention while still appearing healthy and pretty. However, for those of us without the green thumb needed to care for even that hard-to-kill vegetation, a new Instagram trend is showing us how to still get those gorgeous, plant-like colors in our lives without having to invest in the real deal.

A succulent hair trend has just emerged from hair stylists on social media, and like its namesake, tit features a gorgeous blend of hair shades — bright purples, teals, pinks, and greens — in order to appear similar to the leaves of a succulent plant. See some of the looks for yourself, below:

Just be sure to follow these hair care color tips for keeping your shade brighter and healthier for longer.
