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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
