How bold, how cool, how edgy! If you have been staring at edgy hair colors for like, ages now, then this post is definitely for you. There’s literally so many cool and trendy edgy hair color ideas and I had to share them with you guys because they’re all so good.


Some of these is really wild and some are more quiet but still edgy, you know? Whether you want something small or you’re ready to go full crazy, there’s definitely something here.

1. Platinum Blonde Half-Up Drama

The dark roots look so good with the light blonde part. When you put half your hair up it shows the colors real nice. You don’t have to dye your roots all the time neither, which is obviously another win!

2. Cherry Red Candy Cane Vibes

This one have big chunks of white and red together! The red is like cherries. All them layers make it move pretty and dimensional when you walk/move, I love how much you can see all the different colors in there.

3. Classic Red Pop

Black hair with red in it is just simply cool. It doesn’t need to be crazy to look good. If you never did color before this one are perfect to try first.

4. Steel Blue Dream

This color is the cool blend between grey and blue – right in the middle. The blue and gray mixed together look edgy because of the metallic futuristic vibe, the wavy hair makes the ombre blend so nice, and I think it’s a really different look.

5. Silver Storm

This is one of my favorites on the whole list! It’s similar to the previous look, but full on silver rather than steel blue grey. Black goes to silver so smooth. Long wavy hair just makes it seem easy even though it’s not, it looks fancy and edgy at same time.

6. Secret Pink Surprise

You can hide the pink (almost) with these peekaboo pink highlights and ends look! Then surprise everyone later when you move your hair around. It’s perfect if you need to hide it sometimes but still want be bold, that pink color is just so pretty.

7. Purple Shag Magic

Purple and black together with bangs give rockstar vibes. All them shaggy layers add texture. This one is edgy and fun and I really like it a lot for already edgy shaggy cuts.

8. Burgundy Silver Short Stack

The short stacked cut has burgundy and silver and black all mixed. I know that sounds like A LOT but trust me! Short layers make it look cool in a way long hair can never do.

9. Platinum Money Piece

Those white streaks in front of your face looks so good. It make your face look brighter and it is still edgy. This one is easier to wear and maintain, but people still notice.

10. Dramatic Ombre Waves

The dark and light parts are super different from each other! Waves make it look fancy. If you want everyone to see your hair and comment on it, girl, this is the one, it’s really dramatic and I mean that in a good way.

11. Neon Split Personality

Half black and half yellow is really bold. Not everyone would do this, but it looks so cool! The straight hair show the split down the middle really clearly and it’s definitely unique.

12. Sleek Silver Fade

This one is so smooth and shiny with the silver. Straight hair makes you see how nice the colors change from dark to light, it looks modern and fancy like celebrities would have.

13. Baby Blue Sweetness

Baby blue is really pretty right now! The bangs on the side is nice. It’s edgy but also soft and sweet at same time, not too much in your face.

14. Cranberry Cascade

The red gets brighter and bolder as it goes down. Even though it’s bold, the way it changes is smooth on the long/medium wavy hair, it’s warm and edgy, and just looks amazing.

15. Lime Electric

Gray to yellow may sound somewhat weird, but look at it! Shoulder length is easier than really long hair. That yellow is so bright and fun, this is for people who wants to stand out for sure.

16. Hidden Silver Layers

Silver highlights hide in the layers. You see them when you move your hair certain ways which is fun! It’s like a secret thing only you know about if your hair is in a bun, but you can also show it off when you put your hair down.

17. Seafoam Goddess

The green and blue mixed together remind me of mermaids, honestly. With the shaggy cut and bangs, it looks so fun and edgy, I love how the ombre looks lived-in and also intentional at the same time.

18. Charcoal Balayage

Sometimes quiet is edgy too. Dark gray with black blends nicely and looks super natural. This is good if you want edgy but not full color everywhere.

19. Burgundy Shoulder Grazer

Burgundy through the shoulder-length hair is just pretty! Layers make it move and the color is rich but not to bright, so it’s good if you want something more low-key but still fun.

20. Striped Statement

Black and white stripes are so different! It kind of looks like zebra, but we mean that in a super cool way. The straight style really shows them bold stripes especially well.

21. Purple Haze

Purple in brown hair with bangs looks really pretty here. Medium length looks good on everyone, the purple makes it more interesting, but it’s not super crazy neither.

22. Platinum Bob Boss

Short platinum bob with dark roots looks modern! Short hair can be edgy just like long hair. That straight cut makes it look sharp and on purpose.

23. Mushroom Steel Blue Blend

Brown and blue gray together is really different! The blunt cut looks clean. Those gray colors are perfect if you want edgy but fancy, the colors together are unexpectedly pretty.

24. Fire Ombre Curls

Black to red to orange looks like fire! The curls make the colors flow together like real flames. It’s bold but if you like warm colors and want people to notice – then this is it.

You can’t go wrong with black to blonde. The straight style shows how different the dark and light is, it’s a classic edgy look that works with any outfit.

Hot pink through wavy hair is fun! Waves give it texture. That pink is just perfect and it’s edgy but happy too, which I love.

Blonde hides under your hair! When you flip it or put it up you see bright blonde. It’s edgy when you want, but you can hide it when you need to look professional.

Full purple with dark roots is dreamy. The wavy hair and bangs make the color look romantic and edgy. It’s bold but also really pretty and girly too.

Another silver one but this is extra straight which makes it different. Long straight hair makes the colors look planned and polished, it’s edgy but elegant.

Big platinum pieces in wavy hair have cool, messy texture. It’s not blended perfectly and that makes it edgy! The waves add to that cool vibe that seem easy.
