Dip-dye hairstyles from some of our favourite celebrities
Dip-dyed hairstyles are still a really big deal and this spring, the colour fade is back and stronger than ever. It's time to get to know the best ways to do two-tone in 2016...

The colour fade trend is stronger than ever...
We may not love it so much now, but dip dye is without a doubt one of the biggest hair trends of the decade.
As seen on the likes of reality star Khloe Kardashian, Gossip Girl's Jessica Szohr and Modern Family actress Ariel Winter, to name just a few. Now replaced with insanely popular balayage, the colour fade can help you feel ready for a new season.
Give sultry chocolate locks and champagne shades a kiss of platinum blonde to lighten up your 'do for the festival season and give your post-winter locks a sun-kissed holiday feel.
Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Alexa Chung and TV presenter Caroline Flack have all championed this winning ombre hair look in the past.
But if a glance at Emma Stone's stunning strawberry blonde isn't quite enough to convince you to make the change, check out how flamboyant Nicki Minaj manages to totally transform her appearance with a vibrant pop of bright pink.
The Super Bass singer isn't the only VIP fan of a striking dip-dye. Hair chameleon Lady Gaga has been snapped working a yellow shade, while Jaime King is all about the blue.

While dip dye isn't getting a revival any time soon, there's no shame in looking back on the best celebrity hair looks of an era gone by.
Read on for our favourite celeb dip dye looks, ever...
Lea Michelle
As if leaning over a pot of Lea Michele has dipped her long locks in a fine golden colour - and doesn't she look gorgeous?
Bella Thorne
We love Bella Thorne's twist on ombre hair and her sleek, chic ponytail.
Ariel Winter
Ariel Winter reveals the playful side to her personality at Nickelodeon's 28th Annual Kids' Choice Awards with tumbling turquoise tresses.
Jessica Biel
With a hazel colour of top, the lovely Jessica Biel creates a tonal dip dye with a mousey brown colour at the tips to get a less obvious contrast.
Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens spruces up her curls with a lighter shade of brown at the tips. It can be the perfect option if you're bored of all over colour but your hair is too dark for blonde highlights.
Nicole Richie
Nicole Richie has rocked a whole host of styles and shades over the years but she's recently opted for an edgy dip-dye with a poker straight black over blonde bob.
Olivia Wilde
Olivia Wilde has dipped just the very tips of her hair creating a golden contrast to her naturally dark and shiny roots.
Jessica Alba
An original subtle dip dye looked great on Jessica Alba. It's a hard look to achieve as the underneath is still the colour of her roots but bad the right hairdressers and you're golden.
Leighton Meester
Leighton Meester warms up her chocolate locks with some copper-coloured tones.
Sofia Vergara
Dip-dyed hair doesn't have to be crazy or colourful, it can just liven up your locks and add a healthy shine. Sofia Vergara spruces up her glossy locks with some lighter brown.
