Pastels. Pastels. Pastels. You've heard the word a million times. You're probably getting sick of it and rightfully so, but pastels are "it" for spring and that word will not be disappearing from vocabularies anytime soon. Not only have sherbet shades been gracing the runways via clothing, but they've infiltrated the model's hair as well in the form of dip dyed locks, stand-out streaks and even full heads of mellow mint and lovely lilac. Those pretty pastels showed up on the runways of Proenza Schouler, Narciso Rodriguez, Thakoon, and Fendi to name a few. My personal faves are the subtle hint of peach at the Peter Som show and the teal streaks at Fendi.

When it comes to candy-colored locks there's no need to go drastic. Thanks to hair chalking and the Kevin Murphy Color Bug, both of which cover hair in an opaque powder and wash out, us play-it-safers can enjoy this trend as well. Just think of those chalks you had as a kid and the amazing colors on the sidewalk after you created your master- piece. Now go forth and embrace your inner Ramona Flowers with open arms and let your hair do the talking!
