If you design it yourself, it’s one-of-a-kind

Shalhevet girls have always had a flair for eye-catching color, and lately, it affects even their hair. In recent weeks, girls from all grades and even some faculty can be seen strutting through the hallways with flowing pink, blue, or red strands cascading behind.
