PRISM HAIR: TIKTOK'S COLORFUL, VIRAL HAIR TREND, EXPLAINED

What Is Prism Hair?

Prism hair takes every opportunity to rock a beautiful, bold hairstyle. The trend involves bringing together tons of vibrant colors—sometimes called vanity colors—to create a prism effect as they blend together.

Initially, the trend enjoyed a lot of popularity across Tumblr and Pinterest in mid-2010s. Those platforms showed some beautiful instances of the trend, but it wasn’t quite as common as it appears to have gotten in the last two years.
