Men Are Dyeing Their Hair Bright Colors for the New "Merman Hair" Trend

If you thought hair trends were only for women, think again. The latest craze, dubbed Merman Hair, has men willingly transforming their luscious mane into bold and daring new styles. While some may mimic the shiny curls of a merman's locks, this particular hair trend focuses primarily on the colors. Each guy's vivid, new look features any number of beautiful color combinations of blues, greens, purples, and pinks.

Unlike hair trends for women, this one affects more than just head hair. These fashion forward men are adding pops of color to their facial hair, too! Somehow, this additional flourish of color completes the look, re-emphasizing their visually electrifying fashion statement while heightening the surreality of flowing underwater. Ultimately, these guys are just injecting a bit of fun into their lives.
