50 Teal Hair Color Ideas Trending in 2022

Unconventional Colors

11 Nov

Teal color for hair is a combination of blue and green mixed into a white base. The fun thing about it is that it gets its name from the eponymous bird, which has a stripe in this color on its head.

Here’s another fun fact about this shade – it was one of the so-called ‘fad colors’ of the 90s. It was so popular back then that everybody used to wear it, including a lot of sports teams who promptly adopted it as their color.

Since we are now reliving the 90s from a styling point of view, it was only natural to see teal hair color once more. Here are 50 refreshing teal color ideas on how to wear teal in your hair.

1. Teal and Cobalt Roots

One of the easiest ways to go about this fascinating color is to pair it with a neighboring shade. One of its Pantone sisters is cobalt. It’s a bit darker than teal itself, which means it will be great if you use it for your roots.

2. Brown Hair with Teal

If you want to spice things up a little but still keep your natural hair color, you can always add a bit of teal to your brown. Even though you might not think they match, they actually do. Teal and chestnut? Why not?

3. Fishtail Braid

If you’ve only dyed a few strands of your hair teal, then you can easily show them off with a beautiful fishtail braid. This is the French braid’s rustic cousin, and it will serve you well, especially if you make it a bit messy.

4. Blue and Teal Ombre Hair

Teal hair color can lend itself to a blue ombre style very beautifully. To get an even more interesting ombre, you can even add a bit of aqua blue in the mix. Start with a dark base and let it slowly descend into blue and then our star color.

5. Wavy Bob

Sometimes, all you need to show off a gorgeous hair color is an equally delightful haircut. This, for example, is a wavy shoulder-length bob with a lot of volume and texture to it. As far as color goes, it has the same ombre as the one we pointed out above.

6. Messy Bun Hairstyle using Teal Color

Messy buns have been all the rage in the past couple of years. Not so long ago, they were the trademark of lazy girls or your go-to hairstyle for cleaning the house. Nowadays, if you have a good-enough sense of style, you can even pair them with a little black dress when you go for cocktails.

7. Lunar Teal Color

This can easily pass off as pastel, but it’s a little more than that. In fact, this amazingly beautiful shade is called lunar teal.

Why? The answer is visible to the naked eye, so to say. The color is almost milky white, looking pearly and luminescent, like the light glowing off the moon on certain nights.

8. Dark Sea Green Hair Color
