Skunk, in English, means puzzola. Why talk about skunks in a beauty column? Simple, because the skunk hair trend owes its name to the characteristic two-tone fur of this funny mammal. In fact, it is a question of showing off a hair of two different shades, possibly in strong chromatic contrast, therefore one very light, the other very dark.
SKUNK HAIR: 90S MOOD COLOR TREND
On closer inspection, it is a hair look born in the nineties: Geri Halliwell of the Spice Girls (you remember her, right?), for a while she remained faithful to the combination of ginger hair with platinum strands, while Gwen Stefani, who was singing in No Doubt at the time, experienced the ice blonde and jet black match (he recently dusted it off).
And today? The skunk hair inspiration comes from two it-girls of the moment: singer Dua Lipa and model Bella Hadid, fan of the light-dark match that is so much 90s mood. Also worth mentioning Billie Eilish: today she is very blond, but for a long time she wore skunk hair, with contrasting fluorescent green and jet black.
