Dip dye

Dip dye, also known as ombre hair or simply dip-dying, is a hair coloring technique that involves saturating the ends of the hair with dye while leaving the roots a different color, typically the natural hair color. The effect is characterized by a gradual transition or a more defined line between the two colors.

The application process typically involves dividing the hair into sections and then applying the dye to the desired length of the ends. The dye is left to process for a specific amount of time, depending on the desired intensity and the type of dye used.

Dip-dyeing can be achieved with a wide range of colors, from natural-looking shades to vibrant, unnatural hues. The technique allows for experimentation with color without committing to a full head of dyed hair, making it a popular choice for those seeking a temporary or less drastic change.

Variations of the dip dye technique include:

• Ombre: A gradual transition between the two colors, creating a blended effect.
• Sombre: A more subtle version of ombre, with a softer and less contrasting color transition.
• Reverse Dip Dye: The roots are dyed a lighter color, while the ends remain darker.

The popularity of dip-dyeing has fluctuated over time but remains a prevalent hair coloring trend.
