The rapper, 41, debuted a brand-new hair look on Thursday as he stepped out of his recording studio in Los Angeles: a tie-dyed buzzcut by Daniel Moon at HAIR salon.

The 21-time Grammy winner has been dabbling with technicolor hair for a couple of years now, first experimenting with the aesthetic in December 2016 when he debuted bleach-blond locks following a hospitalization for a mental breakdown.

Since then, he’s tried out a whole spectrum of hues, including various shades of pink and a neon yellow-to-pink fade also by Moon that, for many, was a little too reminiscent of Trix strawberry-banana yogurt.

His latest look isn’t so far off from the Yoplait-inspired style, although this dye job consists of more of a splatter-paint effect that fades from hot pink on the crown of his head down to light yellow, pastel blue and green before finishing in a deep purple at the nape of his neck.

The multi-chromatic look already has fans drawing comparisons between the “I Love It” singer and a $1.50 snow cone.

How to get your hair looking catwalk ready with minimal effort

GETTING catwalk-ready hair has never been easier as you can achieve this season's hottest looks with minimal effort.

From headbands to hair pins, find out how you can make your tresses just a few simple hair tools under your belt.

Wear two silk-look headbands for extra cool-girl points

Thought flat headbands were so last decade? Think again. Models at Christian Dior S/S ’19 graced the catwalk with their hair slicked back and had not just one, but two silk-look headbands for extra cool-girl points. The beauty of this look is that no matter what state your mane is in (post-wash fuzz or day five grease), a sassy band is a great way of concealing a multitude of hair sins.

Want to recreate the look seen at the show? Guido Palau, Redken’s global creative director explains how.

“Start by creating a three-inch triangle right at the crown of your head with a comb, then twist it up into a knot with a hair elastic,” he says. “Then, starting from the left of your head, section out the remainder of your hair into about four sections.

Begin wrapping the sections around to the right of your head in a swirl, using a high-strength hairspray as you go to keep them tight to your head and secure each section with a hair grip.” To finish your look, use a flat hair band (or two) to tie it together.

This hairdo looks better the more dishevelled it is

Updos will never go out of fashion, but to switch up your usual bun opt for something a little edgier. A top-knot with a twist (literally) might look like a throwback from the ’90s, but if it’s good enough for Fendi S/S ’19, which sent models down the runway with super-high buns, it’s good enough for us. No time to faff around and perfect it?

No problem, the more dishevelled the better! “Pull your hair into a high ponytail and tie your hair with a band. Twist the ponytail until it starts to curl in on itself then wrap it around the base of the bun,” explains celebrity hairstylist Josh Wood.

Secure it in place with another hair band or grips, and seal the deal with hairspray. Finally, pull out a few strands to frame your face.

There's no right way to do faux braids so have fun when you're creating your funky hairdo

They might just feel like a fail-safe, go-to style – but the stylists at Dion Lee S/S ’19 gave us a totally new take on how to wear “braids”.

GHD Fashion Week ambassador Eugene Souleiman started by using a curling wand on models to add movement, to freshly washed hair.

Then, after a few spritzes of salt spray to add texture, use your fingers to pull the hair back loosely. To create the faux braids, take the loose baby hair at the hairline and twist it back before securing it with a small hair grip at the crown.

The best thing about this look? You can tailor it to your hair type. “There’s no ‘right’ way to do this – work with what you have to create a look full of tough attitude,” he explains.

Give your hair a bohemian vibe with this no-effort look

Prefer the no-effort approach? The Ralph Lauren S/S ’19 show left models with undone, tousled waves… “Start with clean hair,” says Guido.

“Add a coin-sized amount of heat-protecting blowdry cream, before drying your hair in one-inch sections with a round brush to help eliminate frizz.”

While hair is hot from the dryer, pin each section up and allow it to cool – this will add bounce.

Leave the pins in (the longer, you leave them, the bouncier your look). Remove the pins and run your fingers through the ends for a boho vibe.

Semi-permanent colours are a great way to experiment with your look

If you fancy switching your hair colour, try a pale pastel hue. The Marc Jacobs S/S ’19 show featured models with muted manes, coordinated with their natural hair colour.

Instead of the “fun” pastels that were big last year, it’s now all about a grown-up, almost vintage vibe. “I recommend bleaching your hair first before covering it with a semi-permanent pastel toner,”says Guido.

Use a weekly conditioning treatment with a bonding agent in it. This protects your hair while the colour lifts.

For a short-term look, spritz in a temporary spray that will wash out easily.

Why Meghan Markle 'ALWAYS' wears her hair in a bun but Kate does not REVEALED

Meghan, who is around seven months pregnant, is known for her stunning glossy hair that never fails to dazzle in pictures. The Duchess wears her hair in a range of hairstyles, but very often, she can be seen sporting an elegant top knot. However, the Duchess of Sussex may opt for this hairstyle for a special reason.

According to a leading hairdresser, Meghan may tie up her locks in order to hide her naturally curly hair growing from the root.

Troy Alexandros from Soho-based Salon64 told Express.co.uk: "Meghan's hair is naturally very very curly, after years of Brazilian blowdry sessions the hair can become straighter than before. This can cause a curlier root which is definitely not a good look for someone always in the press!

"I do wonder if Meghan just hasn't found the time to get her keratin topped up and has found a fantastic trick of hiding this. 

"A tidy up do is also a great way to hide fuzzy edges and curls which can appear after a hard busy day of royal affairs."

Meghan once revealed how she regularly gets Brazilian blowouts to maintain her glossy hair.

Brazilian blowouts help to manage hair and eliminate frizz while keeping the hair's natural wave.

Speaking about the process, Mr Alexandros added: "The Brazilian blow out or keratin hair treatment is designed to fill in gaps throughout the hair follicle whilst smoothing the hair.

"A protein based treatment that is perfect for those wanting to fight their frizz it will not only leave your hair smoother and reduce unwanted volume but also reduce drying time for a low maintenance, easier life."

The treatment only last for a few months at a time, meaning Meghan has to go back to her hairdresser regularly to tame her locks.

He added: "I find the more frequently you have the treatment the better and more long lasting the results.

"Once having a Brazilian blowdry it takes a very long time to leave the hair.

"Therefore having your hair done often means you are building up the keratin and creating a stronger more effective result. Keratin leaves the hair the more often you wash it and you must use a sulphate free shampoo when having Keratin."

Each brazilian blowout treatment can cost between £90 to £350.

The Duchess said in 2011: "My mum is black and my dad is Dutch and Irish, so the texture of my hair is densely curly. I’ve been getting Brazilian blowouts for a couple of years."

Meanwhile, Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge rarely wears her hair in an up-do.

Unlike her sister-in-law Meghan, the Duchess of Cambridge is hardly seen styling her hair in a ponytail or tousled bun that Meghan prefers to wear.

This could be because of a three-inch scar the Duchess has at the side of her head as a result of a childhood operation.

A picture released in 2011 revealed the scar positioned on the left side of her head right above her ear.

At the time Kensington Palace released a statement saying the mark was a result of a "childhood operation" but did not comment on what kind of procedure the Duchess underwent.

However, Kate wears her hair in a loose chignon style during formal events, such as weddings and races.
