While celebrities have been adding bright color to their hair [1] for years, the trend can also be seen on the catwalks. That held especially true for Fall 2014 New York Fashion Week, where designers and hair pros concentrated the color to one part of the hair. At Emerson (top), braids were spray-painted with pastel hues. At Hervé Léger (bottom left), we saw ponytails with neon streaks from the base of the neck down to the end of the hair. And at Mara Hoffman (bottom right), minibraids were dipped in gold shades.

This may seem like a tough trend to tackle, but there are ways to make it easier. Below, we've rounded up our favorite hair chalks so that you can test-drive this colorblocking — no commitment required.
