Fashion color expert Jaymz Marsters displays in his IG-famous feed how stunning and creative you can be with yellow hair. Sticking with warmer yellow hues like this zesty shade, fortunately, it goes impeccably on any skin tone.
As far as maintenance goes, a yellow mane only requires a little compared to other vibrant fashion hues. Although, quality products are still required to keep the vibrancy and care for your hair’s health after bleaching.

#1: Yellow Ombre on Long Hair
This sunflower yellow ombré hair was created using a seamless blend of foil application and the perfect saturation of yellow for vibrancy and shine. Notice the transition of the natural dark hair into the yellow. Style your hair smoothly for a lot of movement to show off the transition, but have the yellow hair dye be as dramatic as it looks!
The lightening process can be more low maintenance if you choose to do an ombre yellow hair color like this. Anything with natural hair blended in with it will be easier to maintain and require a color refresher between the lightening service. Keeping your yellow hair natural, hydrated, and healthy will always make your vivid hair look amazing!
#2: Dark Yellow Curly Hair
These dark yellow strands are something fun without being dramatic. The yellow color and the fusion it has at the end create a certain hairstyle. Make sure your hair is in good condition and make a good discoloration. It’s important to wear this dark yellow hair safely, and at home, you should be very careful with specific products, especially dry shampoo.

This is a beautiful ray of mustard yellow! Its warmth and vibrancy are a plus, as well as its all-over color. Be sure you can take care of it at home!

Wear your locks with this color combo; it will draw attention to your tresses, making you stand out in a crowd.

And always rinse in cool water.

Be prepared to stay bright and beautiful. Pre-book with your stylist for touch-up appointments every four to six weeks.

This is a real statement of hair and a color that stands out. To dare to have yellow hair is an empowering thing. Be prepared to turn heads. The bright neon orange roots give the hair depth and complement the neon yellow hair. Your hair must be in good condition for a bold color like this. The hair needs to be bleached beforehand to be colored yellow, and not every hair can handle that process. That’s why a blunt cut complements the color. Almost like a wig!

#15: Blue and Yellow Hair
Yellow hair is a bold choice, and golden yellow will brighten your style. This blue and yellow hair was achieved using Trillion Tones as a one-step lift and deposit fashion color. Choose a yellow-blue combo, as they complement natural tones in most skin and eye colors.
Having bright color can grab a lot of attention! Most hair types can be a candidate for yellow hair since the hair will naturally lift to a yellow tone when lightening.
Depending on how dark your natural color is will determine the process it will take and how light/bright the outcome will be. Having vivid colors in your hair will require a strict home care routine. Only shampoo once or twice a week with cold/cool water, and conditioning and rinsing thoroughly on other days or using dry shampoo will help, too.
The longevity of your bright yellow hair color depends on your care at home, so it is best to use the products recommended for your hair by your stylist so it is catered to your hair’s exact needs.
