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.

Funny since I first didn't like Ombre, but there you have it. This video converted me: http://www.youtube.com/user/frmheadtotoe#p/search/0/REvqhHAWwqs

Then I feel meh about the trend when I see it done without much gradient so like a line across the ends of the hair that are a different color. Interesting to know that this product can wash out, no commitment to a particular color and no damaging bleach to the ends of your hair. You girls did a great job though and how nudged me more in the love it camp.
