You might be asking yourself, “what is gemini hair?” and “how is it different from a split dye?” Spoiler alert: it’s not! Gemini Hair is the rebrand of split dyes for the Gen-Z era, and we are loving the color combinations we are seeing on our feeds. But we all know who started the trend right? Hint hint…she’s a cofounder of this company. Okay so maybe she didn’t start the trend, but she started something!

What is Gemini Hair? 

Gemini Hair or Split Dyes have been popular among the subculture E-Girls & E-Boys, which was heavily influenced by Japanese Street Fashion, emo, scene, and mall goth fashion. Popularized by everyone’s favorite app, Tiktok, the style came to be in the early 2010s. 

On April 8, 2013, Paramore released their music video for “Still Into You”. The premiere of the video also served as a reveal of Hayley’s new hair: a pink and orange split dye. Even now, 9 years later, we still get questions about recreating this iconic look, so we thought we’d give it to you!

“At first, I didn’t want to do this look” Brian said when we asked him about the inspiration behind this iconic look. “This was all Hayley’s idea.” Turns out, now it’s one of his all time favorite looks, and he loves seeing the fans recreate it with GDY. 

You can watch Brian O’Connor break down a bunch of Hayley’s iconic looks in this video!

How to Maintain Gemini Hair

• Rinse each side separately in cool water to avoid color transfer.
• To avoid fading, be sure to wash your hair in cool water, with color safe products like our Color Kind Collection. 
• Dilute Pink DYEposit and Copper DYEposit with a bit of Rinse, and use once a week to maintain vibrancy.
