Hair Fashion is High Fashion: 5 Vibrant Editorial Hair Looks that Command the Outfit

When we say it’s giving fashion, we’re not talking about the clothes, the shoes, or the accessories. We're talking about the hair! At GDY, we’ve always said that vibrant hair is the best accessory — but what if it were more than just an accessory? What if your hair became the focal point of your outfit? 

From electrifying neon split-dyes to layered undercolors that reveal surprising pops of color, these editorial looks from our creative community are serving haute couture fresh off the runway. 

Ready to bring the magazine to your mirror? Here are 5 looks to help you get inspired!

Look 1: Maximalist Color Meets Magazine Cover

Like the opening image of a fashion campaign, @ameyaokamoto’s look is built entirely around her hair. Split-dye, dip-dye, raccoon stripes — all combined seamlessly into one head-turning look. The result is a bold, colorful statement with subtle punk influences and a modern edge.

Look 2: Edgy Editorial 

With @hexxa as the canvas and @ethanhansen4hair behind the salon chair, this look takes vivid to vamp just in time for spooky season. Nothing gives drama and serves main character energy quite like hot pink color blocking.

Look 3: Pink, Elevated

Pastel pink has never looked so chic. Crafted by the magic hands of @ggstocco_ and worn by Hanny Odette Santana, this cotton candy buzz cut balances softness with a bold, unapologetic attitude. Pretty in pink, but make it a little avant-garde.

High-contrast color is high fashion! With bright orange money pieces, a pink base, and hidden purple and blue layers, this look by @kimberlytayhair (modeled by @cruxmyheart) is a masterclass in dimension, with each shade layered to create depth and movement to transform every angle into a striking visual moment — ready for the camera.
