Thank you, Luxe! 
And hello, everyone!
I suppose you're here because you don't feel like spending hours at the Hair Salon with Nathaniel, agonizing over different shades and wondering why your hair looks like something a Spectrum pet might have regurgitated? Don't worry, I totally sympathize. You know how long it took me to get the hang of this? A good long while, that's how long, mostly just staring, slack-jawed, at the screen.
And there may have even been tears.
BUT, Luxe and I are hoping to spare you that agony, and hopefully get you a cool hairstyle in the process. Now, Luxe has already introduced you to how the Salon works, so I am going to show you some palettes that you can use! Before I do, though, I just want to point out a few things:
- Not all hairstyles are compatible with all palettes. Though I have checked to make sure these palettes work for more than one hairstyle, they might not look right on the one you want. For the most part, this can be fixed by rearranging the streaks, but it's possible that some just won't look good no matter what you try.
- Be careful with dark colors. As you look at some of the Black palettes below, you'll notice that the highlights and streaks are dark; barely even lighter than the black base. You don't want to go very light at all on dark hair like that, because it'll end up looking greasy. So, stick to the palette! It may not look light enough at first, but trust me, it is.
- Write your hex codes down. I made a nice hairstyle the other day, but I didn't write the hex codes down and I deleted my avatar. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE. Even though the palettes will be here for your reference anytime, you may come up with your own cool hairstyle. If it's really cool, you could send it to us or post it here for other people to use, but don't let it get erased without writing it down!
Now, let's get to the hair!
Natural Styles
Streaks are a pretty cool new addition, wouldn't you agree? Now you can have black hair with neon streaks, or maybe a rich brown with blonde highlights. But, do you know you don't have to make your streaks contrasting colors? In fact, you can even make your streaks enhance your base color.
Here, I've got natural-colored palettes, using streaks that give the hair dimension.
Platinum Blonde -- Golden Blonde -- Strawberry Blonde
  
  
Black with Gray -- Black with Blue -- Black with Brown
  
  
Fiery Red -- Ginger -- Auburn
  
  
Brunette -- Eggplant -- Chestnut
  
  
That should cover all the real-world hair colors. Go make some pretty hair!
If you liked any of the base colors of these palettes and just wanted to change the streaks? Keep in mind that Highlight #1 isn't a streak, but the natural reflection of light on the hair. Only Highlights #2-6 should be changed if you want to keep the base. 
Now, here's a couple of hairstyles I personally quite like.
Emerald -- Magenta -- Sapphire
  
  
Painted -- Borealis -- Confection
  
  
Streaks!
This is for using the streaks with black hair. If you find that there's too much color, change the Base Low to #00000. I put vibrant colors in the Base Low because I felt it helped the streaks blend a little better(this is especially true of styles where the streaks are a little sharp.)
Red -- Pink -- Orange and Yellow
  
  
Green -- Blue -- Purple
  
  
And with that, I'm going to turn this back over to Luxe!
