Teal Hair Color Guide

The enduring trend towards unnatural hair colors is inspiring women of all ages to ditch the color they were born with. Shades like lavender and pink have been popular for years, but more alternative looking colors like teal are quickly rising in the ranks. If you want to try a bold new hair color that’s dark and moody or mermaid inspired, teal strands will help your look stand out amongst a sea of other brightly colored styles. Read on for tips about how to go teal, brand recommendations, and to see 30 examples of gorgeous teal hair color.

1Teal Hair Tips

Turning your hair into a teal masterpiece can take some work if you’ve got dark hair, as it will need to be chemically lightened before you can apply your teal dye. For hair that’s been chemically lightened to an orangey yellow shade, applying blue dye may help you achieve a teal hair color, but lightening further will help you to get more accurate results. If you’re looking to match teal hair with your specific complexion, bluish teal is more flattering on warmer skin tones. If you’ve got cool undertones, try going more towards green. Lighter pastel teals look great with fair skin tones, while ladies with medium complexions can opt for a saturated jewel tone teal. Darker skin tones look great with multiple shades of teal, ranging from a deep rich color to pastels and just about anything in between.
