The color turquoise is often associated with calmness, femininity, and creativity, all of which are embodied in turquoise hair. Whether you’re looking for a pastel shade or a bright hue, look no further than these 20 tried and true styles.
Turquoise Hair Color Ideas
Vary the saturation of turquoise to get a very light and soft bluish green hue or a more pronounced turquoise that tends to teal. You can certainly get any shade in between and pair your customized turquoise with silver, brown, blonde or any pastel color.
1. Mermaid Pixie Cut

2. Silver-Blue Fox
Turquoise hair dye isn’t like other hair dyes. It can be tricky and it takes time to achieve the result you want, so, be patient and be prepared to spend a few days – or hair appointments – working towards the right shade. For a vivid yet soft look, consider the silver to glass-like blue transition.

3. Dark Metal and Seafoam Hairstyle
Two sections are twisted from both sides creating an effortless half-down style. Blending the dark metal shade into more saturated teals creates a dark, sultry hair color. Best matched with black, white, or basic hues.

11. Pastel Princess
Turquoise hair doesn’t have to be bright. You can tone it down with a mix of pastel colors including light greens, purples, and pinks. For a princess-like hairstyle, add a variety of braids and extensions to complete your look.

12. Black and Blue
The black and turquoise are separated with a high wrap-around ponytail. When let down, the colors would create a drastic – yet beautiful – ombre look. This style looks best with frosty blue eyes and a thick black cat eye. You may use hair extensions, if you don`t want to change your hair color so radically.

20. Colorful Curls on a Buzz Cut
Dark turquoise hair is great, but what if you just want a pop of color? The fall-over hair with a side buzz utilizes three different colors to achieve a bright, rocker look. To enrapt the curls, twist the curling iron to both sides and drape the strands around one another.

Surprisingly, blue hair has been around since before the second world war, so, naturally, the turquoise hair trend is back and extremely popular. With so many shades and colorful blends, the style will surely last. Jump on the bandwagon and enjoy the ride!
