Mermaid Mane
This 'do is pure mermaid magic. Play up vivid colors by adding some texture to the hair. Grab a 1-inch curling iron and, starting at eye level, curl hair, alternating directions with each section until your whole head is a beaming with bouncy, colorful tendrils.

Colorful Contrast
Could her hair be any more slick? (Hehe.) Her dark and shiny mane works as a perfect contrast against the vivid pops of color, and plays up the chic, "inky" look that oil slick hair calls for. And they say blondes do it better, psh.

Magical Mane
Her head is just blossoming with awe-inspiring hues. While her hair looks magical, that enchanting color didn't take without a little help from bleach. This brunette beauty had to pre-lighten strands before achieving this style. But hey, it's clearly 100 percent worth it.

Cascading Color
Anyone else dying over this perfectly crafted hair color and style? To really make the color stand out, Crutchfield-Christoni recommends adding some extra shine with your favorite hair serum. We love John Frieda Frizz Ease Original Six Effects Serum, $9.99, which tames frizz, adds shine and hides split ends thanks to its silk proteins (which is a godsend for pre-lightened strands.)

Soft and Subtle
Mahogany manes are already gorgeous (especially for fall hair), but if you're craving something a little more creative, add some lovely oil slick colors like a brighter red and grey-blue to enhance the already stellar shade.
