Hair Transformation: DIY Dip Dying and Colour Streaks

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday November 14, 2011

Dip dying is one of the hottest hair trends right now, not just with natural colours, as in an ombre style but with pinks, oranges, blues- you name it! Using bolder colours to streak your hair, underneath or in certain areas, is a good balance for an 'in your face colour'. Dying just the ends of your hair is a funky way to have some colour, but still look natural. Finally, go for faded tones in a coral or peach for something different but still on trend.

We love the idea of dip dying and streaking our hair but we aren't in love with the idea of permanent dyes or having to bleach our hair first then applying the dye (since all of our hair is so dark). So- we decided to put Kevin Murphy's new product- Color.Bug to the test! Read our reviews over here for our reactions and for more info about the product.

We tried out three shades- orange, pink and purple and we're pretty thrilled with the results.

Shiori goes for pink and purple streaks that frame her face.

Alexandra opts for fiery oranges with touches of pink for something bright and daring.

Mandy's hair almost looks like it's fading into a natural brown with her touches of pink and orange.

Leave us a comment below with your thoughts on dip dying, colouring and streaking. Do you also love our new hair? Comment by November 20th to be entered to win a prize!

The more you rub the better the color- and it does not damage the hair. Also it lasts about 2-3 days so if you don't like it- no worries it will come out! Love Mandy's look! [email protected]
