With St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, it's high time to ditch the ordinary and test out enchanting green shades for a festive hair makeover. We're not talking about the faded green of chlorine accidents – we're here for the soft pastels or vibrant accents of emerald, jade or lime that will make you the talk of the town. Whether you're paying tribute to your Irish roots or just fancy some themed fun, here's your guide on how to rock green locks this St. Patrick's Day.

Selecting the right color is a crucial first step in your journey to green hair. Let your personality and style shine, but consider a few tips. If you have a fair to light skin tone and naturally blonde or bleached hair, dip your toes into lighter, brighter shades like mint or teal. People with darker or medium brown hair can opt for deeper, bolder shades such as forest green or emerald green.

If an all-green mane seems too daring, there are plenty of options to add a touch of green without complete commitment.

Temporary and lively, hair chalk is a fantastic way to experiment without long-term consequences. Unlike permanent hair dyes, hair chalk deposits pigment on the surface without penetrating deep into the hair cuticle. Applied to dry or wet hair, it lasts about two to four shampoos, making it easy to change color. Minimum damage, maximum fun!
