PASTEL STREAKS...LOVE IT OR HATE IT?

I've noticed a new trend is a-coming! Pastel streaks...
Being a brunette I can't really share in this trend (at least I don't think so) but then again, I guess only blondes can anyway...hmmm...
ANYWAY! What do you guys think of it? Personally, I think it looks like a dye job gone wrong, mixed in with a bit of swimming in chlorine waters...but that's just me :)

But then again I haven't fully decided where I stand yet. Look forward to your opinions. x

I loved it, but was a bit unsure about it for myself, being brunette, so it took AGES for me to come around to it, but I'm glad I did. Mine was an Abbey Lee-inspired bright pink, which has faded to a pink-ish orange, and I'm really happy with it.

(This is probably the most accurate picture of its colour right now: http://notsonaked.blogspot.com/2010/05/faq.html)

I think it looks great on the model above with blonde hair, and on alot of the catwalks I have seen. I have also seen a few people in the streets of Melbourne that didn't quite nail it. So in a nutshell I think It depends on the person and colour put in x

my favourite kind of pastel hair would have to be this...

In the editorials I've seen where the model is brunette it's usually blue or green streaks or ends. Personally I found that pink looks more purple in brunette hair. And for those unsure of this trend, buy washout coloured hair spray from Go Lo - cheap and chic.

It was so bright (like neon) when I first got it but now it's about the same shade as Coco's! I really like it and I've definitely been seeing more of it lately, like yesterday actually. I had wanted to dye my hair all pink but I knew regrwoth would suck and it probably wasn't going to suit me to have it dyed all over, so this was a great compromise!
