If you are daring enough, coloring your hair can be anything but boring these days. There are just so many new and bold hues out there.

In looking at this exciting trend in hair color, expert colorist Guy Tang deserves a special mention. His rainbow and metallic hair color creations are a hit on YouTube. And, in the past year, he has also spread his hair color genius to salons everywhere via his own line of permanent and semi-permanent metallic hair dyes for the Kenra Professionals brand. 

Now, as featured in a story by Allure, the metallic master himself has recently taken to Instagram to share a beautiful mauve shade he created by combining the silver, violet and bronze colors from his Kenra line. Tang told Allure, "The metallic series has reflective properties that make it glossy and look like tinfoil. When properly applied to pre-lightened platinum hair, it can show the iridescent colors pretty well, especially in different lighting conditions.”

Just amazing. Are YOU ready to try a metallic color? If so, Tang advises that you discuss the process with your colorist—your hair must be pre-lightened and color may not be achievable in just one salon visit.
