The reality star Lauren Conrad has tie-dyed the tips of her hair! As seen above on the left, she did a hybrid dip dye/tie dye hair color consisting of the colors fuchsia, turquoise and green. Now although we wouldn't recommend this to a person working in the corporate world, we still love it for it's whimsical and cheeky look! With the way Lauren dyed her tips in a vertical manner versus the Nicki Minaj horizontal dip- dye, it makes Lauren's hair look longer and more voluminous. Nicki's horizontal dip dye jobs makes her hair appear pretty flat and geometric. Will this be the new summer look that takes over the now feather extension and ombre trend? Although I recommend going to your colorist, here are some tips that I found, courtesy of Elle girl, on how to dip dye your own hair.
What you’ll need: Hair bleach, developer, gloves, brush, foil, dye
What you’ll need: Hair bleach, developer, gloves, brush, foil, dye
1. Mix hair bleach and developer in a plastic bowl until you get an icy-like consistency.
2. Section out your hair; keep first section on top of head with a clip.
3. Split the bottom section in 1/2 and apply bleach to desire ends up to your desire length. Feather the brush towards the top and cover completely.
4. Apply foil (yes, you can steal the foil in your kitchen) to each section of hair, take bottom half of your hair down and do the same.
5. Heat ends with a blow dryer and check each section to make sure they are fully saturated.
6. Remove foils and rinse over the sink.
7. Put your desired hair color into a plastic cup and apply generously! This is the time to have some fun.
8. Wrap colored hair in plastic bag and apply heat, the longer it holds, the better the color keeps.
9. Let hair cool for 5 minutes.
10. Rinse ends with condition and smile at your fabulous new hair in the mirror!
HAPPY COLORING!
