But as you can see, this look is so stunning that it is well worth the effort. Totally embrace all things rainbow with this fun and girly look for rainbow hair!
Keep in mind that rainbow hair will require frequent touch-ups. Try not to wash your hair often, limit it to once a week if you can.

Keep your hair hydrated with leave in conditioner, and your color will last a bit longer!
