What do you get when you blend a colour loving My Little Pony with some hair? Hair in all rainbow shades that is what! I talked about crushing on pastel hair some time back here.

It seems the love affair keeps burning stronger.

Model Abbey Lee Kershaw is as babydoll like as it gets already with her large doe eyes and chin cleft. With the pink hair tips on Vogue Australia’s March 2010 issue she looked even more so. I thought I had seen it all candy hair colour wise till I spotted Karlie Kloss with bright orange hair as photographed by Patrick Demarchelier in American Vogue.

Whether you call it My Little Pony hair, pastel hair, rainbow hair, icecream or bubblegum pop hair something tells me it is here to stay for a while. I wonder what the sugary hair strand trend will mutate into next.

Catch up on the rest of the Fashion Mathematics segment here.

Dreaming of silver blue pink ombre hair

Years ago when my hair was longer, for an epic but brief phase, I rocked streaks of silvery blue.

I have been majorly fantasising of having blue hair again and I am not sure why.

Maybe it is nostalgia, something about that creative phase of me and my blue hair in college…

Maybe it’s that 90′s meets metallic meets neo punk feel that silver, pale blue or cotton candy pink and ombre hair conjures up…

Maybe it’s Anna Piaggi’s delightfully surreal blue curls…

Maybe it’s Dazed and Confused Editor, Katie Shillingford’s epic blue and black ombre hair…

Maybe it’s thanks to the hair at Spring/Summer 2010 catwalk shows like Proenza Schouler, Giles etc…

Maybe it’s due to the safety pin and cane-rowed pink cotton candy(candy floss) hair at Rei Kawakubo’s Commes des Garçons Spring/Summer 2010 show…

Perhaps it is down to the streaks in the heart shaped up dos in the Spring/Summer 2010 Chanel Couture show earlier this week…

I cannot put a finger on what is causing it, maybe it is all of the above. What I do know is, I am majorly dreaming of silvery/blue/pink and ombre hair. It is haunting my every fleeting thought.
