I wrote about loving the tie-dye trend last week. When TheBeautyDepartment.com, Lauren Conrad’s beauty site, posted about dyeing the tips of your blonde hair different colors, I voted DO IT! in their poll about wether LC should dye or not.
Well, she has.
There’s a beautiful tutorial on the site here.
I hear Lauren used Paul Mitchell’s INKWORKS (a professional, semi-permanent color treatment available in 10 vivid shades) to achieve the blue-colored highlights! Colorist and Paul Mitchell Artistic Director, Lucie Doughty shared her tips on how to get the look with the help of your stylist:
- Have your stylist pre-lighten the hair to a pale blonde.
- Ask to have INKWORKS painted all the way through the strand or just on the tips like Lauren’s and then isolate each section in foil.
- Countless colors can be created from the Paul Mitchell INKWORKS color collection, so you can decide which color combinations work for you (to get LC’s look ask for Hot Pink, Green and Blue)
- Your stylist can dilute them with any of Paul Mitchell’s daily conditioners to create beautiful pastel tones (like LC’s), or you can let sun, chlorine, and beach fade the colors into pastels.
Even though my foray into being a blonde is just now coming to an end, over a year later (dyeing your hair brunette over and over again when you ARE brunette is just depressing), I want to try this trend! Is it hard to bleach your hair at home?? If I try this, it’s just the ends, so if I mess up, I can always get my hair cut, right??
