Looks like hair-dye trends can't stop, won't stop. Kansas stylist Ursula Goff has begun reinterpreting famous works of art as hairstyles, so your hair will now look like a true masterpiece.

Into Impressionism? Goff can give you those Claude Monet water lily locks you've always dreamt of. More into pop art? She can make you look like Andy Warhol's classic portrait of Marilyn Monroe. If you're more of a Lichtenstein fan, Goff can hook you up with bright blue hair straight off the artist's satirical comic strips.

"What tends to inspire me is a lot of colors and nature," Goff told Good Morning Kansas last fall. "I'm an artist too, with a strong painting background ... so I understand color theory really well."

Goff shares each photo from her "fine art series" on Facebook, elaborating on the history of the artist and painting behind the hairstyle. This way, her friends and followers can better understand the inspiration for the series — from the art's emotional essence to the artistic technique being used.

"You don't have to go all out. You can always go a little more subtle," Goff said. "Although, I will say, a lot of my clients start out subtle and then it turns into full-brown crazy eventually."

Goff has mastered many other ephemeral coloring trends as well — galaxy hair, fire hair, opal hair — so she's no stranger to the world of transient dye trends. She is, however, pioneering the fine art hair movement; the style has yet to gain traction on Instagram — the signature trait of a 2016 hair trend.

So whip out those art history textbooks and decide what classical artist will inspire our modern-day manes. We're thinking of asking Goff to do her best Marcel Duchamp — fascinated to see how she interprets "Fountain."
