Lavender-gray hair is the next big Instagram trend you’re about to see everywhere

Finally, we have a hair colour trend isn't named after something edible. Lavender gray hair - as the Instagram algorithm has conspired to inform us - is the hair colour to have this spring, and it's not hard to see why.

It features a smoky gray base offset with a lavender tint. The amount of purple can vary from a subtle tint to full-on lavender, making this the perfect colour situation for those who are scared of committing to anything too "out there".

And according to Stephanie Brown, the master colourist at IGK Salon Soho in New York City, the style is fantastic for anyone who already has pale highlights or platinum coloured hair.

"Make sure there are no yellow tones in your hair; otherwise you’ll lose the look of these pastel colors," she advised, recommending that you see a stylist who is experienced in treating gray or platinum hair.
