An Ode to Lavender Hair

When all of the fashion head honchos sat down for their yearly meeting at a Swarovski crystal-encrusted round table, milling over emerging fashion trends and faux pas, they decided on one buzz word for the fashions of Spring and Summer 2014: pastel. At least, that's the only explanation for the word describing "a soft and delicate shade of color" to be plastered and repeated in just about every fashion editorial regarding this season. The 80s neon resurgence is officially dead and gone, brutally murdered by the Easter Bunny hued, Spring collections from the likes of  Prabal Gurung and Peter Pilotto.

The pastel trend is leaving a mark everywhere as people try different ways to rock it. Kelly Osbourne recognized the beauty and wearability of a sherbet shade way before the rest of us, and officially started the pastel hair trend four years ago. Since then multiple celebrities and socialites–Nicole Richie, Ireland Baldwin, Demi Lovato–have followed suit, dying their locks a lovely lavender-gray.

Pretty, surprisingly wearable and uber cool: lavender hair is definitely having a moment. Will it's popularity fade away as fast as the chunky highlights and frosted tips of the early 2000's? Probably. But for now, just embrace it. 

Let's all pause for a moment of silence to check out these ah-ma-zing, unicorn-quality manes.
