From the pastel-rimmed crowns at Sies Marjan to Marc Jacobs’ punky, turquoise bowl cuts to Miu Miu’s wild, raspberry curls, the Fall 2018 runways were a Technicolor feast for hair lovers’ platinum-weary eyes. But would these seemingly hard-to-pull-off hair color trends have legs? Would they trickle down to the general, time-strapped public? Would subtler looks, like our beloved balayage, now be considered passé?
