The style is so saturated and precise that it looks fake — like it was ripped straight from the OG Snapchat filter. And because the color was placed underneath the top layers of the hair and doesn’t curve all the way around, it can be both shockingly out-there and office-appropriate at the same time.
“Hidden rainbows are all the London rage right now,” the salon declared in an Instagram caption yesterday. One glance, and it's easy to see why. If you want to upgrade your half-up topknot, you know what to do.
