Written by Meenal Rajapet  • 

The sky never ceases to amaze any of us. We can’t help but be overcome with wonder when we look at the beautiful warm colors at dawn and dusk or the dark colors and sparkling lights in the night sky. It would be an understatement to say that we are completely obsessed with the outer space.

It’s no surprise then that anything to do with the outer space is almost always trending, both in art and fashion. From the galaxy print tights, dresses, backpacks, and snapback hats to the watercolor paintings and photoshopped images with a Galaxy overlay. But some people have gone one step further, combining art and fashion, to paint their hair in beautiful tones inspired by the planets, stars, galaxies, and nebulas in the cosmos.

These 20 stellar, galaxy-themed hair paintings will leave you in complete awe.

This beautiful combination of blues and purples remind me of the night sky on a cold winter day. The dark roots create a beautiful shadow effect that reinforces the space theme. The artist has meticulously added some purple-pink streaks in the lower layers to make all the colors pop.

This chic bob is a perfect mix of galactic colors. If your natural hair is dark, there is no way you can go wrong with Galaxy hair because once your roots start to grow out, they will just complement the look with a shadow effect.

Twilight skies never fail to disappoint. This mesmerizing combination of twilight-inspired colors can leave anyone awestruck. The roots are a dark purple and take on warmer tones of pink as you move down the length of the hair. This style is perfect for anyone who appreciates a good galaxy root melt.

Under coloring is one of our favorite techniques when it comes to dye-jobs. If you want to spruce up your dark hair, this might be the perfect way to do it. We also love when artists incorporate shades of green in galaxy ‘dos. If you fell in love with the oil-slick trend, but are leaning more toward galaxy hair, this style seems like the perfect compromise.

7. Carina Colorburst
