Merman Trend: Men Are Dyeing Their Hair With Incredibly Vivid Colors
Ladies aren't the only people enjoying colorful hair trends – men want to get in on the glamorous fun, too! In the new 'merman' trend, men are dyeing their hair and even their beards in bright shades of blue, green and purple to look like mysterious creatures of the deep. Or as a nod to the '80s – your choice!
What do you think about this trend – sexy or silly? Let us know in the comments, and if you're a merman, add your selfie to our list!

Indigo is plant which leaves gives more then 100 colours on hair. These colours are stable and natural good for health and skin I use these colours on my hair. I make black colour for my hair in 40 minutes.

Enhances the eyes beautifully. I think the beards are overkill until we are used to these vivid colors at all. This is perfect <3

Love the curls. Needs to iron the shirt (add a little starch) to pull off that look.

These gentlemen are legends. The only way to be an anomaly is to act like one. Anyone saying that they aren't men, or didn't get enough attention as children are just ignorant and jealous. I mean be honest with yourself, if you feel like you have to say something negative then you probably care a bit too much. Awkward for you. On a positive note: LEGENDS.
MonaMcDonald 9 years ago
If all it takes to be a legend these days is to tint your hair a whacky color then... my god.

I'm curious why online it always seems to be: Tattoos: "Sooo awesome! So Creative! Stop being such haters!!!" Something like this: "Attention whores! Gay! Man-card revoked!" Either you accept self-expression or you don't. If you don't like it, good for you. Sit down and shut up. I'm sure you have PLENTY of traits that others hate.

I feel like the look is not completed if they do not color their brows and chest hair.
KevinO'Brien 9 years ago
Old hat. Started doing it in the 80's. Also did it in the 90's. Then 2000's in Mexico. Know scores of MEN that have done that for years. Uh....dumb-a*s article, yet again.
KevinO'Brien 9 years ago
I did it in the 80's. In Kansas. Also did it in the 90's in LA. 2000's in Mexico City and the Caribbean. Most guys I knew did. Another dumb-a*s article.
BrianShea 9 years ago
other than the beards, this is not new. the 90's saw men with funky colored hair, i myself did it. it is funny, i was thinking about this fact one day, and that nowadays men don't color their hair in these shades anymore, only women seem to do so now, so i decided to look up men brightly colored etc. and all of this 'merman' stuff came up. i must admit, even though i'm a fan of the funky colors in the hair, the beards feel a bit much. i think i may have seen that once or twice in the 90's though, but on real left of center type guys.

I've had a Pink beard and hair for going on 3.5yrs because of a lost bet and turning it into a charity for children. This may be a "trend" for others. For me, it's making a difference.

This is so stupid. More than half of these are photoshopped LOL. I can tell.

I love it, if you dont know how to dye your beard in my blog you can find a lot of information about review of products, because, dye a beard is very easy, just because is hair! but, there some products that can make you skin problems, here you can check the post, http://beardfaster.com/beard-color-dye
JózsefSinkó 9 years ago
The only problem is 95% of them are manipulated images... If you ever tried to change colors of a photo, you know what I mean.

Why not push some ideas of colour ... They're reminiscent of my illustrative work that you can see via this link ... http://www.bluedogposters.com.au/shopdisplayproducts.asp?keyword=beard&search=beard

2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 (not only the beard), 16, 18 (wtf?) and 20 are for sure NOT REAL. There's a feature on Photoshop called 'Hue Saturation' and thats what it is. Don't trust evertyhing you see, people. :/

Hue Saturation doesn't do that. Don't trust everything you read from a critic people :/

So what's your excuse for having a picture-less profile and no charisma at all? Too much love from your family? I HIGHLY doubt it.

Hmm ... actually, if you knew anything about history, you'd know that Men have been doing this kind of thing for thousands of years. Unless you want someone telling you how to dress, then don't tell other people what to do either.
