It’s not unusual for hairstyles to take inspiration from the world of fashion and this season’s dip-dye trend is no exception. Two-tone clothing has been big news on the catwalk but adding a touch of ombre is one of the hottest looks for your locks right now. A whole host of A-list celebrities are getting in on the act and giving their hair a fresh new twist.

The classic dip-dye features darker roots with lightened ends to give a natural, sun-kissed look. Subtle differences in shade such as those seen on Jessica Alba and Nicole Richie look effortlessly stylish. Gently graduating the colour creates a subtle, elegant effect that can be dressed up or down. If you don’t have time to head to the hairdressers then simply use dip dye ombre extensions or clip in hair extensions to create the look in moments. Kim Kardashian and Penelope Cruz are famed for their dramatic dark hairdos but adding a few honey-blonde highlights gives a fresh feel. Keep your hairstyles casual with a few soft curls rippling through the ends to show off the ombre trend to its best advantage. Even male celebrities are embracing the dip-dye trend, with Oscar-winner Jared Leto’s enviable “hombre” locks taking centre stage at the recent Academy Awards. For something a little more dramatic, why not add a touch of bolder colour? Rainbow shades are right on trend and Lauren Conrad and Kylie Jenner have both been spotted sporting pretty ends in green and rainbow colours! Whether you want a classic ombre or decide to go for more colourful dip-dyed hair style, the trend for two-tone shades is a fabulous way to add interest and texture to your hair this season.
