American singer, writer, actress, and producer Hilary Duff cardinally changed things up going from blonde to blue. She changed not only her hair color but also the length cutting it bob. Her new hair color is like a sea wave and perfectly emphasizes the color of her eyes. Experimenting with bold hairstyles is not a new practice for her. She had blue hair in 2015.
Duff explained that the motivation came from her son’s Luca’s wish to have blue hair. Instead of dyeing Luca’s hair, she took the plunge and went blue first. It is still uncertain how long it will last; maybe the color will fade away after a few washes? However, one thing is sure — for her, it is very entertaining. Wait, the fun is not only for her. A vast army of followers left comments under her post, stating their desire to give a go to a blue color.
If you are inspired by her blue hair and have a wish to try, it will be interesting to know that she got the color with a semi-permanent Manic Panic that offers a whole range of blue hues. If you are bold enough to try new shades, then go blue with Manic Panic.
According to Hilary, it’s better to try temporary colors, leaving drastic changes, especially with permanent colors to specialists. Duff also shared impressions on how easy it is to get the color.
“Ok! So this little packet is a miracle. Took a ton of the green out of my hair… mix with water and rub sections of your hair between your hands (use gloves). The color starts to come out. Took a few packets and a lot of muscles and two rounds of washing and reapplying,” wrote the actress.
