The ombré and dip dyed hair trend has been building slowly since last year but has recently taken a much stronger hold. The dip dyed hair makes it an accessory to an outfit - tying it in, as if the ends of the hair were a colorful scarf draping from the neck.

The dip-dye hair trend has been flourishing for a while now, but it seems to be bigger than ever at the moment.

I have yet to actually see anyone sporting this trend in person, but I must admit that the look intrigues me. I have not had the desire to dye my hair "funky" colours since my disaster when I was 18 and decided to try out Sarah Michelle Gellar's streaky red and blond look.

Now I see that the dip-dyed look is becoming somewhat popular. Lauren Conrad did it and showed the results on her blog. I think it looks awesome but am not sure if I would want to rock the look personally. I do like the fact that it is just the tips of the hair so you could cut it out quite easily.

Would you prefer it multicolor, very Katy Perry? (I've been dying to to have this look, as soon as it grows I'm so doing it!!). "Ombre" is a French term meaning shaded. Mainly, it refers to fabrics meaning a gradual change in shade from light to dark or one color to another. It is the newest trend with hair color as you may see many celebrities on the magazines with what can resemble a grown out highlight.

This hairstyle is usually made in a horizontal line across the head, creating two very different colored blocks of hair. What brings in the new craze, is the freedom of colors. You can try different hair colors to make stunning looks.

You can mix blue undertone into a blonde hairstyle or a pink undertone into a dark hair, and so on. It can be an everyday hairstyle, or an edgy one. The color is the one that makes the difference.

I just want my natural colour (dark blond or light brown - nobody knows) faded out to a lighter honey blond. I know a lot of people's just grown out dye which I used to have for years and dyed over it, but now I want it more extreme.

“The best bit about undertoning is that it will save you time and money, which is especially important right now,” says Technical director of Andrew Barton Salons, AJ Blackadder. “It’s a low-maintenance style as you actually want the look of roots, meaning you can redo it whenever you want, rather than the religious six to eight weeks.” Today I am going to the hair-dresser and I am curious about the results!

This is not a wish, this is something I really wanted to do. You know what, last time, I had this urge to cut my hair short. But I changed my mind, and stayed with my long hair, instead. My haggard long hair.
