Tie-Dye Your Hair

If colorblocking is too dramatic, try the tie-dye method. It’s when two to three colors are applied to the hair so that the color fades from dark or light (or vice versa). “I think of this as a fun version of ombre for longer hair,” says O’Connor.

To get the look, O’Connor says she starts by pulling the hair into a ponytail at the nape of the neck. Next, she sections the hair into multiple parts and secures each section with another elastic. (Tip: “It’s important that the rubber bands are tight,” O’Connor says.) Finally, apply the various colors to each section in the order you would like them to fade. Once the hair has been processed, remove the elastics and “squish all the colors through the ends.”
