Once upon a time, I had a hair color inspired by an amethyst crystal I received as a gift. Then I found a photo of it on Pinterest, compared it to the result and posted a nice collage on Instagram. The response was so positive that I started creating more and more gemstone-inspired hairstyles. I have also included every meaning. For me it is both an art project and a new perspective on mixing colors. Check out my crystal collection and choose your favorite geode hair idea!

When I started painting hair inspired by crystals, I thought it was a creative way to give the hair colors even more interest and value. The more I understood the meaning behind the vibrations each crystal radiates, the more intrigued I became. Sure…I know what you're thinking…of course this San Diego girl loves crystals and probably eats completely organic too. But listen to me. These things have been around long before we and our “trends” existed. It's fair to say that for as long as we've existed as a species, we've had an affinity for stones and crystals. The entire wellness movement is largely capitalized and converted into Gwyneth Paltrow's extremes. But it is not wise to abandon the wisdom accumulated over the centuries.

Here are a few examples of crystal hair colors, each with descriptions of their spiritual meanings side by side. Browse through these colors and photos and find your gem!

This stone acts as a barrier against lower energies, psychic attacks, geopathic stress and unhealthy environments. Since the name Amethyst translates from Greek to English and means 'not drunk', it is also used as a stone for sobriety. Apart from that, the vibrant purple hair itself feels like magic!
