The Half Of It
Here’s yet another subtle version to wear the colour-blocking trend. If you are looking for a chic yet standout variation, opt for this half and half pairing.

It will also add an Illusion of density and depth to your strands.
The One That’s Bold Yet Chic

It will impart a bold sensibility that’s effortlessly understated and playfully chic. It’s an easy version of the wildly popular hair trend and looks oh-so-stylish.
Perf For Minimalist Trend-Setters
If you are a minimalist who loves indulging in the latest in the beauty world then this might be your favourite way to wear the trend. This one is subtle in its approach and edgy enough to help you make a head-turning statement. It involves dipping the shortest of layers behind your ear in a contrasting shade and can be easily done at home. Pick up your fave hue and get to work ladies.
