The vibrant, bold hues of 2017's unicorn hair frenzy are being swapped out for more subtle, softer pastel looks. And what they lack in brightness, they make up for in dreaminess. You've probably already seen them: "Pink cloud" hair, "ghosted" hair, and "Hollywood opal" hair are just a few of the dye jobs using color combinations that are part of the thriving trend.

And yup, the colors come out just about as stunning as they look on any kind of precious stone or crystal.
