Ever since Halsey sang in that mall, we knew she was a star. Since then, we’ve seen her morph into both a blockbuster movie star and an accomplished makeup brand founder. And now, she’s gone full Lava Girl with her flaming hot pink hair. If you’ve been following Halsey for awhile, you know she’s no stranger to bold hair choices—and this new color is no exception. Not only does the look remind us of our favorite childhood heroine, it’s making us contemplate trying out neon hair too.
Over the years, we’ve seen Halsey wear tons of different hairstyles. From her signature pixie cut to her more recent voluminous curls at the MaXXXine premiere, she’s constantly serving the glamour. And because of her Tumblr roots, she’s dabbled with pretty much every pastel hair color under the sun. Although her blue hair (circa 2015) is a favorite among her stans, it’s hard to imagine this new neon pink not ranking just as high.
Having gone through so many eras, it’s hard to keep track of all the hair moments Halsey has brought us throughout her career. And even though we’re huge fans of her Tumblr pastel hair, this Lava Girl hair is by far her boldest choice yet. However, we’ve learned that most stars are quick to change up their hair at any given moment. But to our surprise, this color has graced her Instagram a few times already. Thankfully for us, that means that a brand new Halsey era is here.
Naturally, we don’t want to believe her new hair is a wig, but there’s a high probability it is. (Especially considering Halsey’s track record.) But either way, neon pink is the hair color trend we’ve all been craving. Sure, cowboy copper is cute—but there’s nothing like a hair color so bright it almost hurts to look at. Who knows, maybe more celebrities will follow in Halsey’s footsteps and channel their inner Lava Girl too.
