Navy Blue Hair Is The Next Big Thing

When spring comes around each year, there's a handful of consistent trends you can count on in the fashion and beauty world: Pastel shades, floral prints, lace, white denim, and lighter locks to name a few. So when Kylie Jenner rocked navy blue hair to a recent event, I was totally surprised.

Of course, I wasn't shocked to see Jenner sporting a new 'do, because she's always experimenting with different hairstyles, but I was amazed at the inky hue she'd picked. Dark, rich hair shades are usually favored during winter, or autumn at a push, so to spot Kylie wearing dark blue tresses on the approach to the first day of spring, was an unusual sight. But, how could we expect a fashion maverick like Kylie to play by the "rules" of fashion? She's burnt the rulebook and written her own multiple times, setting a great example for the rest of us in the process. Why should we be confined to what's in vogue? The short answer is: We shouldn't.

Kylie isn't the only one who's been spotted with a blue barnet recently. Karlie Kloss showcased a blue 'do to her Instagram fans recently, however it appears that her blue layers might not be so permanent. But, whether temporary or permanent, it's clear that people are becoming more confident in experimenting with different hair colors in different seasons. So rip up your own rulebook and take inspiration from these fabulous folks flaunting navy blue hair.
