Dipped tips not your thing? Looking for more impact? Try colorblocking. Much like colorblocking your clothes, colorblocking your hair is a “dye technique that creates a defined geometric accent of color,” explains O’Connor. One way to do this is to dye your hair at the crown one color and use another color from the nape down.

Since it’s such a precise method, Merrie recommends getting your hair colorblocked at a salon. “You really need to know your head shape and how the hair falls to get a good colorblocked look,” she says.
