What is opal hair and why is everyone going on about it?

Another frontier crossed.

IT SEEMS LIKE you can’t move but for a new hair trend taking over salons and fashion media around the world – and it’s happening again.

The latest is the opal colour – the replacement for the more extravagant rainbow, apparently.

Here’s what it looks like

And explained the charms of opal within:

If you’re done with silvery-gray hair and My Little Pony-esque, bright rainbow strands, you might want to take the latest color trend for a test drive. Take a look at opal, a blend of pearl and light pinks, blues, greens, and purples

The opal is a fairly unique blend of pastels and the Instagram crowd are lapping it up

It’s everywhere. Articles about opal have been popping up all over the place too

So much opal, so little time.

Elite Daily says the opal is a toned down version of the rainbow:

It’s basically a toned-down version of “sand art hair,” but this particular style mixes metallic shades with all sorts of pale pinks, purples, blues and greens.

It’s certainly a toned down version, as this is one version of the rainbow in all its glory

People can make up their own minds on the subtlety.
