So why not go bold and add a beautiful green shade to your hair? If you’re in need of inspiration, we have a list of the best green hair ideas for you to try. Let’s get into it!
1. Green Bob
A chic, soft bob and green hair go hand in hand! It’s always a good idea. Both the hairstyle and the color are exciting and dynamic. After all, there are many shades of green to suit all skin tones, and a bob suits pretty much all face shapes.
2. Green Pixie Cut
Another hairstyle that goes great with green is the pixie hairstyle, as depending on your preference it can look edgy, whimsical, or a combination of the two! If you’re unsure what a pixie cut is, it’s a hairstyle that is long at the top and short on the sides.
This green color pixie cut is the perfect option for a lighter skin tone and is such a fun, bold look.
3. Green Underlayer
If you want to dip your toes into green shades but still make a statement, why not have a green underlayer? Dark green hair can create a striking contrast, while neon, lime green, or electric green shades give your hairdo some zing!
It’s the perfect way to take your hair to the next level, with a few hidden shades of green.

10. Mint Green Balayage
Balayage looks beautiful on just about everyone, and with just about every color – mint green included!
Blonde to mint green is an undeniably cool look, and while we love the straight look, big, bouncy curls really set it off.
11. Aquamarine Hair
Aquamarine is a color associated with serene, calm seas, and with aquamarine hair you’re sure to bring harmony to every room. It’s such a beautiful color, it almost looks dark blue in some lights.

Add some braids and you’re sure to feel like the mermaid you’ve always dreamed of being. This is one of the most underrated hair colors, but it sure does stand out.

15. Mint Green Hair (For Men)
Mint green hair looks just as stunningly fresh on men as it does on women! It’s the best thing if you prefer lighter shades of green.
16. Green Dreadlocks
While green hair compliments any hairstyle, we’re particularly obsessed with green dreadlocks! Dreads make a statement, whether you’re male or female, especially when they come in shades of green.
However, it’s worth bearing in mind that dreadlocks take a lot of work to maintain. They’re heavy, plus you need to keep your dreads clean to keep them in good condition.
17. Green Tips
Looking for an easy way to dip your toes into going green? Then why not go for lime green tips? This is a great way to add some neon green into your life. You can also opt for a slight yellow color under the green to keep it fresh.
18. Dark Green & Black Hair
If you have black hair, have you ever considered a two-tone hairdo in the style of Cruella DeVille? How about dark green and black hair? Trust us, it works!
You can use this picture as inspiration, or opt for a lighter green, or perhaps an olive green if you have darker skin. This one looks best if you want short green hair.
19. White-Green Hair
White-green hair looks like the coolest cotton candy ever, and looks amazing whether your hair is long or short.
The best way to achieve this look is to bleach your hair first, and ensure it is as light as possible, before adding the green tint. It looks great on both short hair and long hair.
20. Lime Green Roots
Most people who have experimented with green hair in recent years would likely attribute their decision to go green to Billie Eilish, and we’re obsessed with her green root look!
Especially because multicolored root looks don’t get a lot of love as multicolored tips, but Billie proves why they should! If you don’t want green roots for a long time, then you can simply dye over them after rocking this look for a while.
21. Green Bangs
Bangs are always fashionable, and that’s because of their versatility. Not only are bangs a youthful look, but green bangs give you a great, rebellious edge. This look is best done by a professional colorist, so you can section out the hair for the money piece properly.
22. Dark Blue Green Hair
We can’t think of a more darkly romantic and glamorous look than dark, blue-green hair, especially when it’s styled. If you love wavy hair, then this one’s for you.
23. Pastel Unicorn Green Hair
We’ve had mermaid hair, but what about unicorn hair? Pastels – and particularly green pastels – give you that mythical look that is sure to give every outfit a zap of magic.
With proper care and attention such as a hair mask now and then, you can keep this pastel green hair color vibrant for longer.
24. Ashy Green Hair
Ashy blond hair is a great alternative to those who don’t want a platinum look, and mixing it with dark green shades takes your hair to the next level!
We would recommend those with particularly pale complexions to tread carefully with this look, as without the right make-up you’re in danger of looking washed out.
25. Olive Green Balayage
An olive green hue is guaranteed to grab attention, and a balayage with dark roots and olive mid-lengths and tips is sure to look sophisticated.
But if you want an edgier look inspired by emo fashion, ask your stylist to cut some micro-bangs for you too.
26. Neon Green
If you prefer neon hair over a dark color, then this neon green hair is sure to light up any room, especially with curls! It’ll definitely be a more unique look.
27. Green And Purple Hair
A bright green dye job may be just what you’re looking for. Radioactive green and ultraviolet purple have an other-worldly appeal, and are sure to make you look like a badass superhero – or super villain, whatever floats your boat!
28. Green And Pink Hair
Continuing in the UV trend of our last pick, green and pink hair is sure to give your hair a pop punk look! Raspberry and emerald hair is a bit more sophisticated, while bubblegum pink and light green tips are undeniably fun and an unusual look.
This one could fade quicker than others, so be sure to rinse in cold water to protect your hair when washing.
29. Green And Yellow Hair
Green and yellow hair is guaranteed to make you stand out from the crowd! Bright yellow shades and bright green tones work just as well in a split-dye technique as they do with a balayage technique. This curly hair look is stunning.
30. Green Curls
Many people with natural curls believe that they can’t dye their hair in bright colors, but we’re here to dispel this myth! Minty green or emerald green shades look beautiful on curly hair, especially curly bangs!
31. Green And Red Hair
Who says you have to choose between two hair colors? Red and dark green hair is a beautifully gothic look that is criminally underrated.
Dark roots and a middle parting make this look particularly effective, and is pretty easy to achieve by parting your hair into two sections, before bleaching and applying red and green toner.
32. Olive Green Deadlocks
Olive green hair and dreads are a combination made in heaven, and really compliment darker shades and skin tones. If coloring your hair for the first time, this look is perfect as the moss green tones can blend easily with black roots, or darker natural hair.
33. Orange And Green Color Hair
If you’ve gone through every color on the color wheel, why not try combining green and orange? It’s an unorthodox choice admittedly, but makes a beautiful, dynamic combination. It’s a great choice for when you’re bored with your current hair and want to mix it up, but have run out of ideas.
