Neon Bobs

Now for the fun stuff! Pastel neon is having a moment as one of the most intriguing fall/ winter 2018-2019 hair color trends. The look is hard to wear, maybe so, but it’s also hard to hate, and we can see fashion followers everywhere adopting this scintillating trend come September 1st.

Pastels have a kitschy, neo-futuristic appeal that is perfect for the back-to-the-Eighties arcade energy of the season. A neon-pastel bob has a girlish, underground feel that infuses any look with a girl in the know energy.

The neon bob is a departure from the traditional, tasteful hair that has been prescribed to women over the centuries. It announces that you, a modern gal, will not be restricted by norms on what is and isn’t appropriate. You’ve blurred the lines and colored outside them in shades of pink, or purple, or, you get it…

One of the torchbearers of this trend was Jeremy Scott, whose models went down the runway with alien bobs in a dizzying array of rainbow shades. Nicopanda’s baby pastel pink look felt youthfully urbane under a street-ready hat.

Marc Jacobs’ galactic roller girl bobs were enchantingly pigmented and had a healthy dose of punk rock foxiness. At Alexander Wang, slick neon lava-red-inspired hair was curiously androgynous and hypnotically original.
