  • Hair colorist Ursula Goff uses hair dye to create wildly unique designs that are reminiscent of nature and art.
  • Goff told INSIDER that she pulls inspiration from everywhere, including her clients.
  • Goff uploads the results to her 101,000 followers on Instagram, often sharing a side-by-side image of her inspiration source next to the hair color.

In 2017, food-inspired hair dye was all the rage. But Kansas-based hair colorist Ursula Goff has found her groove creating looks inspired by nature and art — and her work is so impressive.

A quick scroll down Goff's Instagram page reveals a grid of bold and pastel colors that she uses to mimic sunflowers, rainbows, minerals, crystals, and even art masterpieces. The hair professional told INSIDER that she finds inspiration nearly everywhere, and also credits her clients for giving her a lot of creative freedom with their hair and offering up their own inspiration. She said that this "allows for a lot of opportunities to do unique or experimental work."

In addition to sharing her expertise on her website with tutorials that you can pay to watch online, Goff shows off her hair color creations on Instagram, where she has amassed 101,000 followers with her mesmerizing looks. Take a peek at some of our favorites below.

Goff's use of pastel colors imitates the effects of light on crystals.

This sunflower hair takes warmth to a whole new level.

More from my project with @matrix! They are releasing some new Demi's called Vinyls in the fall, and I've been playing around with them. The top of this color is the Copper with just a smidge of the Gilded Gold, and then I added a bit of Red into the root area. On her natural hair, it's more coppery auburn, but on the blonde extensions she's wearing from @vpfashion, it was a brighter orange. Then I blended some of the Color Graphics lacquer in yellow into the middle for the sunburst effect.

Goff applied vibrant tones to bring this mineral-inspired hair dye to life. 

This looks like an actual painting on cobalt hair. 

A softened spectrum gives unicorn hair some serious competition.

Goff's caption reveals that her Mondrian-inspired hair painting required strategic planning and execution to set straight lines like the original painting. 

So a Mondrian was one of the first hair paintings I considered doing. But I hadn't worked on enough of them yet to where I had figured out a strategy for keeping the lines clean. And then even once I HAD worked out a bit of a strategy, I didn't think it would be very fun to do because, well, I don't like making things that require a lot of straight lines and tools - I don't like architectural or perspective drawings because a ruler is used for so much of the work. I just wanna GO without having to plan much, if any at all. I'd much rather just freehand everything and sort of eyeball it. But, once again, the process of working on this taught me new stuff, and gave me a greater appreciation for Mondrian's own process, even if it's not my favorite. And once again, I worked with @matrix's new Vinyls for the majority of this, on a blonde extension provided by @vpfashion . The top and bottom dark blue parts are the Cobalt full strength, the blue square is Cobalt diluted with some clear, the red square is the Crimson diluted with clear, and the yellow was the color Graphics yellow. I made the black for the lines by mixing equal parts Copper, Cobalt, and Midnight Violet with 10 vol. #matrixbrandpartner #matrix #colorsyncvinyls #colorgraphics #mondrian #destijl #dutch #modernart #artonhair #sponsored #bluehair #aquahair #paintingsonhair

Goff takes Van Gogh in her "Starry Night" hair painting that captures the same swirling whimsy of the original.

Her interpretation of "The Scream" by Edvard Munch is unmistakable.
