Tribute to Dip-dyed hair 2011

I really like this trend for dip-dyed hair. It seems that a lot more ladies are pulling it off well and it's leaking its way into local everyday South African styles too.

It works well for long hair, especially straight and slightly wavy hair types.

Check out these gorgeous examples of different colours and you might even be inspired to try it out :)

What about fading?

With the latest technology ammonia-free hair colours and bleach, the integrity of the hair is respected and colour-treated hair is less likely to fade, provided that you treat your hair well otherwise. Also make sure that your ends are trimmed to prevent split ends and minimise natural dry ends due to having long hair.
