A Missouri hairstylist has created a color trend of her own with the ‘Magic Eye Hair’ that has left people hypnotized.
Kristina Cheeseman, 30, a hairstylist based in St. Louis, posted her psychedelic dye job on Instagram and people were instantly taken with the amazing color that looks like it could be photoshopped.
This color has been pegged the ‘Magic Eye Hair’ because it gives the appearance of an optical illusion that almost hypnotizes anyone who stares to long at it.
Hypnotizing: Kristina Cheeseman , a hairstylist in St. Louis, Missouri, posted a picture of’Magic Eye Hair’ that looks like an optical illusion
Colorful: The hairstylist is known for her colorful artist work on hair, including this look where the neon color extend down the roots
‘I used Rebecca Taylor’s new color line, Trillion Tones, to create this look,’ Cheeseman told Allure.
‘It’s unique, as in it’s the first hybrid color to exist. I custom mixed the purple, blue, yellow and pink shades to create my rainbow.’
To get the mind-boggling look, Cheeseman first bleaches the hair to get it to a shade where it will accept the colors. But she told the beauty magazine that she prefers to call that stage ‘lightening’ since it sounds less harsh on the hair.
She then individually paints each rainbow throughout the hair with color combinations she mixed herself.
‘I made my own colors using sorcery. Haha, just kidding, with primary color pigments,’ she joked in an Instagram video showing the bizarre look.
‘This is a combination of Permanent and Semi permanent colors I custom mixed.’
She went on to say that the look gave her an opportunity to truly feel free as a hairstylist to artistically create the look.

Captivating: Cheeseman calls herself a ‘hair artist’ on her Instagram bio because of the creative designs she can create with dye
Stunning: It is recommended for people who receive these types of dye jobs to wash their hair minimally in cold water for it to last longer
Once the hair is colored, it is important that the client has a routine in place to keep the dye from washing out too quickly.
Cheeseman recommends washing the hair minimally in cold water and using a cleansing conditioner to keep the optimum amount of color.
The hairstylist does other psychedelic color combinations besides the ‘Magic Eye Hair’ look.
Her Instagram features crazy dye jobs including one she calls ‘Prism Roots’ where a rainbow extends down the top part of the client’s head.
Another one called ‘Holograph Roots’ shows neon colors extend down the hair in an iridescent fashion.
Cheesman labels herself as a ‘hair artist’ – a title she has definitely earned – because of her unique designs she creates herself using dye.
