The beauty of hair color ideas lies in the fact that they vary from short rainbow hair to long and secret rainbow hair – secret meaning “hidden”. Why hidden because it has a tricky dying technique wherein it hides or conceals a vibrant rainbow of colour beneath the natural colour of hair.
Athena Golden, hair stylist and the colourist behind the dye job shown above is reported to have said “Hidden rainbows are placed in spots not normally seen unless the hair is up…We usually place layers to give the peekaboo effect.” Such is the flexibility of the secret rainbow hair that you can hide it in the office at the same time flaunt it in corporate situations which are flexible.

1. Hair Bleaching
Most of the females who want to get rainbow hair are perhaps not aware of the fact that in order to get rainbow hairstyles of their choice, they will have to get their hair bleached first. Bleach is the go-to product before you apply the color – whether for dyed rainbow tips, just streaks or full color over the complete head. If you skip the bleach, chances are the colour will wash out and won’t stick on the hair.
Once you are through with the bleaching process, wash, condition, and blow-dry your hair before you go for any sort of rainbow hair color.
2. Choose Your Most Loved Colors
