Calico hair color for women is inspired by the fur of calico cats, featuring a mix of three colors:
- Black or dark brown: This is the base color, replicating the rich dark fur of a calico cat.
- Blonde or light brown: This adds highlights and mimics the lighter patches on the cat.
- Red or auburn: This is the most distinctive element, adding a pop of color and mimicking the fiery orange patches.
The placement and distribution of these colors can vary depending on the desired look. Here are some popular variations:
- Highlights: Blonde or light brown highlights are woven throughout the dark base with pops of red or auburn for a subtle and dimensional effect.
- Color blocking: Larger sections of hair are dyed in each color, creating a bolder and more graphic look.
- Ombre or balayage: The colors transition from dark at the roots to lighter blonde or brown at the ends, with red or auburn woven throughout for a more natural-looking blend.
Calico hair can be achieved on any hair length, but it tends to look especially striking on long hair where the color play can be fully showcased.
