Nicki Minaj showing off her new dip-dye locks

Us girls get bored of the same hairdo, we like a nice fresh change. And if you’ve tried everything from growing it, cutting it, highlights, lowlights and now want something new look no further as the newest hair colouring trend has arrived: the dip-dye hairstyle.

This look creates a funky edge like no other. You can stick to one colour or go completely crazy with three or four... or more! There are endless possibilities, so that each of the dip-dye hairstyles can look different.  You can have your hair dyed just from the top, just the front layers, or my favourite which is from the bottom up.

Quite a few celebs are rocking the dip-dye look, including Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Drew Barrymore.

As you’ve probably worked out the name comes from the tie-dye technique, which basically means dipping the hair into the hair dye. And through this you can even create an asymmetrical look and what’s more this dip-dying business also gives the illusion of thicker hair.

A few things to consider before hitting the hairdressers is firstly your skin tone, so that you can choose either a warm or cool hair colour to suit your skin.  Also match it to your own style and personality using colours that will look fabulous on you but also reflect who you are.

So, if you’re looking for a change and want luscious locks which will make a statement the dip-dye look will make you stand out from the crowd for sure.
