"Fashion Week is T-minus three weeks away, and top models around the world are preparing to make their mark. But when you\u2019re Pyper America Smith and you\u2019re already in the midst of taking over the style scene, switching up your signature look can be even more game-changing, in the best way. Pyper, who casually graces the pages of top magazines and stars in major campaigns (some alongside the most famous male model in the world RN \u2014 aka her little bro, Lucky Blue), is known for her porcelain skin, bright blue eyes and, of course, those icy blonde strands. But, thanks to her bubbly personality, she\u2019s also a total chameleon. So, when she decided she wanted to change up her look, nothing was going to stop her.\n\nPyper pulled out some temporary pink dye a few weeks ago and gave it a whirl. Although the hot hue washed out instantly, the color bug had bitten, and she wasn\u2019t going to be satisfied until she embraced the rainbow. Pyper was torn between purple, blue, pink, and gray, but she finally picked a permanent purply pink shade that would make My Little Pony jealous. She invited Teen Vogue along for her DIY journey to pastel perfection. Read up on why she took the plunge, and watch her transformation below.\n\n\n\nTeen Vogue: Why did you decide to change your signature color?Pyper America Smith: I&amp;#39;ve always wanted to have different colored hair. I love change in my life and exploring new things, so I thought dyeing it pink would be so fun!\n\nTV: How long were you the icy white color?PS: I was full platinum blonde for about two years.\u00A0\n\nTV: What is your natural hair color?PS: Dirty blonde.\n\nTV: How did you decide on this color?PS: I was actually almost going to dye it blue and then five minutes before switched to pink. I don&amp;#39;t usually wear pink clothes, or anything too girly, so it&amp;#39;s something fun and out of my comfort zone.\u00A0\n\nTV: What did you use to dye it?PS: I used three tubes of Ion Color Brilliance Neon Brights in Flamingo semi-permanent, a comb and disposable gloves.\u00A0\n\nTV: Take us through the process of what you did!PS: I squeezed the tubes into a bowl and dipped my comb and gloves into it, spreading it down two-inch sections of my hair until it was all covered from root to tip. Then, I let it sit for 45 minutes and washed my hair out like normal.\u00A0\n\nTV: How do you think this new color will affect your modeling career?PS: Who knows?! Change is interesting, and I get excited by any new opportunities.\n\nTV: What do you use to take care of your dyed strands?PS: I love using an organic coconut oil mask.\u00A0\n\nTV: Lucky just dyed his hair a darker shade. Was this something you decided to do together?PS: No, we didn&amp;#39;t plan it! Mine was a very last minute decision. I was kind of getting bored with the blonde. I think the pink fits my personality.\u00A0\n\nTV: What are you most looking forward to this Fashion Month?PS: I&amp;#39;m grateful for all the amazing opportunities I&amp;#39;ve had this last year, and I&amp;#39;m looking forward to a new season, new look and where my career takes me.\u00A0\n\nTV: So, how do you feel now that you\u2019re pretty-in-pink?PS: It makes me feel like an enchanted unicorn jumping over a huge rainbow! I love it.\u00A0\n\nfacebook dialogPinterestPhoto: Courtesy of Pyper America Smith \n\nFootage courtesy of Pyper America Smith of Next Models / Video Editor: Jessica Lugo\n\nRelated: Rainbow Roots Is the Coolest Hair Trend We&amp;#39;ve Ever Seen"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
