Four hair colouring trends you should try in 2016

Bored of the same old dip-dyes and ombres? We feel your pain. That’s why we looked high and low to bring you some new hair colouring trends you should try this year.

Check them out below!

1. Metallic hues

Silvery, grey hair is no longer reserved for the elderly. This hair is both cutting-edge and easy to match with clothes.

If you have dark black hair, you will need to bleach your hair to a platinum or white blonde, which can be damaging if you are not careful.

To make sure your hair remains healthy, bleach your hair incrementally, letting your hair rest for one to two weeks between each bleaching session. Make sure you put in lots of moisturising products to keep it from getting dry.

Then, get rid of the brassiness in your hair by using a toner. Alternatively, just dye your hair by mixing a hint of purple hair dye in some conditioner. Since purple and yellow are complementary colours, the purple hair dye will neutralise any yellow undertones in your hair.

After that, the last step is to just add grey hair dye.

2. Feminine pastels

If the “bad girl” look isn’t for you, then maybe pastels would be more to your liking. It is fun and young, what’s not to love? Moreover, you can either dress it up or down – depending on how flashy you are feeling.

And, it does not always have to be light pink! There are many pastel hair dyes that complement Asian skin tones, such as lilac and sea green.

Bleach and tone your hair as mentioned above. Then, instead using grey hair dye, add a small amount of hair dye to some conditioner. You can adjust the strength of your preferred pastel colour by experimenting with the dye-to-conditioner ratio (think of it as mixing paint).

4. Two-tone hair

If this is your first time dyeing your hair, this style helps you test the waters. Just dye the underneath layer of your hair while leaving the top layer alone.

This look can be both daring and conservative. If you are not too keen about the outcome, simply hide your coloured locks with the top layers of your hair.
