Crayola Hair: it's not just for cartoons

So apparently blondes have more fun and brunettes are troublemakers, but what about women who refuse both and go their own way instead? Loads of celebs are making statements with crazy hair colour; be it cobalt blue, dark green or pastel pink. If you rock it your way, it works.

Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards, with her stunning lilac waves and that beautiful floral headband looks like some kind of forest nymph. Delicate, serene and definitely feminine, you’d expect to find her practising her scales whilst wistfully gazing across a meadow of wild flowers or trailing her fingertips through a shallow rockpool.

Lilac locks are great for a romantic look. But what if you're more tomboy than Thumbelina?

Her bandmate Jade Thirlwell, on the other hand, wouldn’t look out of place fighting crime alongside Hit-Girl and Kick Ass. Her striking blue 'do definitely packs a punch whilst still looking chic and playful.

Nicky Minaj, a long-time campaigner for crazy colours, has never been afraid to use her tresses to make a statement. Whether it’s bottle green or candy floss pink, her locks plays a major role in her image and really reflects her rebellious, fun personality.

Even Alexa Chung is going against her usually ‘au naturel’ fashion instinct and jumping on the colour train. Personally, I’ve always been too terrified of looking like Stephanie from Lazytown to try fuschia pink, so it’s great to see that you can go for something this bright and still look grown up. High five Alexa. Good job.

[If you're in the market for a dye but you're unsure if you could pull off such a daring look, the girls at Rockalily Cuts are brilliant and so reassuring.  I say this as Emma is my most favourite hairdresser - Laura]
