Leopard Print Hair: The Bold Coloring Trend Taking Over from London Salons

With gray leading as the top hair color at the start of 2017, the year is shaping up to be all about extravagant styles. We've already seen stunning techniques like Geode hair, mimicking precious stones, and Hidden Rainbow Roots. Now, entering a more advanced realm of colors and patterns, the leopard print trend has arrived—straight from across the Channel. Color stylist Erik Pascarelli at renowned London salon Bleach London turned heads on Instagram with this striking look on a client with a shaved head. The impressive result is simpler to achieve than it appears: bleach the hair, add irregular 'bronde' spots, and outline them partially with a brown-black mix.

Fully Committed or Subtly Concealed

The expert notes this coloring suits short haircuts best, as long hair movement blurs the pattern. For those not quite ready to commit but drawn to the playful vibe, Pascarelli recommends a stencil of leopard spots paired with colored lacquer spray—ideal for theme parties to make a statement. Social media under #LeopardPrintHair offers endless inspiration: some go all-in with full-head color, while others tuck it under layers for a hidden surprise. This edgy style will captivate the bold, adding a touch of daring flair to any look.
