Top 8 Ways to Embrace the Gemini Hair Trend

We may love the stars, but we don’t need a horoscope reading to know that Gemini hair is here to stay. Inspired by the zodiac sign, the viral serotonin-spiking Gemini hair trend reflects the two-sided twin complex. Known for their impulsive, extroverted, and curious nature, Geminis never shy away from trying new things. Boredom is a major ick, which is why the Gemini hair trend keeps things interesting by featuring two colors for a multi-tone look — think Split-tones, Dip-dyes, Skunk Stripes, and Money Pieces. There are many reasons to love the duality of this look, but the real beauty lies in its inherent adjustability. It’s different, loud, and flooding our feeds — we are living for this main-character moment. 

If you want to create a big change to your hair and double up on creativity and wow-worthy results, check out our top 8 different ways to embrace the Gemini hair trend. 

The most popular rendition of the Gemini hair trend are split-tones — parting the hair down the middle and coloring each half a contrasting shade for maximum effect. While there are countless color combinations one could opt for, these are some of our favorite color pairings for the season.

Gemini Hair can be dialed up or down to your liking. Whether you’re splitting the two colors straight down the center (as shown above) or prefer something subtler like these selectively placed pops of color, you can’t go wrong.

Regardless of whether the air sign is in your birth chart, you can channel their playful spirit with a subtle Money Piece look. Opting for tiny Money Piece highlights is a great choice if you want to achieve tone downed results and a less contrasting look while still experimenting with this trend. 

While split tones reign in popularity, it’s certainly not the only way to pull off the Gemini hair trend. One of our favorite ways to rock a dual-tone color pop is with classic chunky Money Piece highlights. This look is forever trending and lives rent free in our heads.

When you can’t pick one shade, why not add a flash of color to your bangs? This is a great way to add contrast without fully committing to a complete color change. Because why be boring?

This style is exactly what it sounds like. The dip-dye color split is divided half way down the hair in a very concise way. The style is a new twist on the classic punk dip dye look that resurfaces every few years. Regardless of shade, rocking dip dye will leave you with a unique and memorable look. 

And one look that is definitely heavy on the fun are gorgeous dual tone color melts. This look is bold, striking, and plays with a high contrasting edgy color combos that catches the eye. People are beautifully complex and have multiple sides to them so why not your hair as well?

Tapping into that Y2K energy comes classic chunky highlights. This two-toned look doesn’t fall too far from its predecessor, the cuter-than-it-sounds skunk hair, by accentuating natural strands with bold colors. Even with the weight of the highlights, there’s still a lot of dimension with complementary tones playing up each color. We just love a good throwback color style!

We know that big change isn't for everybody. If you're a commitment-phobe (we’re looking at you, Libras and Aquarians) and you want to achieve the looks above without the permanency, have no fear. All of our shades are semi-permanent and can easily create the same bold color effects without permanently changing your hair color.

While the Gemini hair trend can be achieved on all hair types, as the sections of color can be adapted easily, there is an element of upkeep with a dual tone style like this. The best way to keep your color pop vivid and bright is to follow up with our Daily Coloring Conditioners to refresh, maintain, and lock in color. So if you're after a new look but can’t make up your mind about color, we recommend throwing caution to the wind and trying something totally different with the Gemini hair trend. Trust us, you won't regret it!
