A radical makeover is just what any gal needs every now and then to freshen up her look.

So what better way to get yours than by going for a teal hair color?

In addition to being one of the hottest shades you can try, teal is an incredibly rich color that works with all skin tones.

Take that leap of faith and choose one of the shades below!

1. Medium Teal Hair Color

We’ll start off with a middle tone of teal. Not too bright nor too dark, this specific teal is wonderful for girls who want to get a balanced experience with the color. It works well with all types of complexions, during any time of the year.

2. Light Teal

One of the most popular types of teal hair color leans towards the lighter side. Before we get into the super light teals, here is an average light teal shade as an introduction. Consider this approach if you’re not generally drawn to pastels.

3. Deep Teal Hair Color

A gorgeous way to bring out any facial features is to opt for a deep teal hue. We wouldn’t exactly call it dark, but rather rich and intense. All the same, it’s a beautiful alternative for women who want to stay away from colors that are too flashy.

4. Mermaid Hair

If you follow us on HairMotive, you already know that we’re head over heels in love with mermaid hair. However, if this is your first time coming into contact with the concept, prepare to be amazed. Mermaid hair enchantingly blends sea-inspired colors, typically with a teal base.

5. Dark Teal Hair Color

Whether you have pale skin or you just embrace a goth lifestyle, dark teal hair color is just what you need. Tone down your shade of teal until you get as close as possible to black. We also recommend this approach for natural brunettes.

6. Teal Hair Ombre

By far, the most popular way of rocking teal hair is through ombre ideas. You will soon see that you have a myriad of ombre options for teal, starting with this natural gradient. To get these results as a brunette, simply add the teal to the second half of your hair.

7. Metallic Teal

If you’re all about that mysterious and romantic vibe, metallic teal is what you have been looking for. Talk to your colorist about adding charcoal or a similar tone to your teal hair color in order to get a splendid metallic finish.

8. Brown and Teal Ombre

Women born with brown hair are in for a real treat. Teal goes amazingly well with this natural hair color, allowing you to add it without any unpleasant surprises. For a softer outcome, think about using a lighter shade of teal.

9. Teal Hair Highlights on Brown Hair

Alternatively, you can decide on lowering the amount of teal you add to your chocolate locks. Some girls prefer highlights for spicing up their natural color. You can do the same by picking your favorite teal shade and getting streaks throughout your brown hair.

10. Blonde and Teal Ombre

Although it may be more eye-catching than the examples mentioned above, a blonde and teal ombre is spectacular. Considering the lighter tone of your natural hair color, it’s best to use a brighter type of teal for an irresistible ombre.

11. Teal Hair Color with Shadow Roots

A hair trend that has taken the scene by storm this year is shadow roots coloring. Basically, it involves dyeing an inch or two of your roots in a dark color for a more natural effect. When mixing shadow roots with teal hair color, you will get a harmonious transition.

12. Black Hair with Teal Tint

What if you’re not really into dyeing your hair, but you still want to bring it to life somehow? You can always try out a tinting method. To put it shortly, tinting involves adding a specifically colored coat to your hair to make it shine in that tone.

13. Teal and Grey Ombre

If you’re not afraid to have an original hairstyle that will make you stand out, experiment with bolder ombre ideas. For instance, you can take a light shade of teal as your first color and blend it with grey from the middle down.

14. Ash Teal Hair

We all know by now that ash blonde and ash brown are all the rage. But what about adding an ash tint to courageous colors? When mixing ash with a teal hair color, you will get one of the most extraordinary shades of steel blue that you have ever laid eyes on.

15. Metallic Blue and Teal Hair Color Highlights

Another way to get a creative hairstyle is to blend all sorts of highlights in various colors. To obtain balanced results, we encourage you to study colors that are part of the same palette. As an example, blend metallic blue, teal and purple highlights.
