Hair Transformation: DIY Dip Dying and Colour Streaks

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday November 14, 201170 comments

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.

I like Alexandra's the best, her face looks brightened with the contrast between her streaks and her darker hair.

It's cute, I'm still not sure exactly how to do it. Super cute though. Letting your inner rocker out! Epic idea.

I love it! Mandy's hair looks incredible. I've never tried dip dying, but I've definitely got to try it now.

Yes I do love this new hair!! I especially love Mandy's because the colour is subtle, but gives off a really nice "blast" of colour at the ends

I love these looks. Its a great way to add some colour and experiment with something new, without having to change your look too much. I would try this over highlights any day. The benefit here is that you don't have to keep touching up the roots like you do with highlights. Thumbs up!
