20-year-old figure skater Alysa Liu took the 2026 Winter Olympics by storm and came home with 2 gold medals. But she also got a lot of attention for her signature hair coloring – alternating colors of blonde and dark brown. Her “Halo Hair” is becoming a popular trend across the internet.
Halo Hair
Halo Hair is a decades-old color style with roots in alt-grunge and punk scenes. Generally, the style is best on a base of dark hair. A ring or “halo” of lighter color is layered onto hair. Some opt for more than one ring of color, or they add more as the hair grows out. For people growing out their locks, rings can be added closer to the root as your hair grows. This can create a unique pattern of color throughout the time you have and maintain the style.
Maintenance for Halo Hair
As your hair grows, the halo band will move further away from where it was originally added. Recoloring the hair, cutting it off at a certain length, or adding more bands of color can all be next steps. The figure skater had even likened her halo hair growth and added rings to the rings of a tree. Caring for your hair with a mixed color style is similar to that of other highlight styles. Using color-safe shampoos can be an essential part of routine care. With bright blonde halos, purple-tinted shampoo can help minimize brassiness.
