Sea Dipped TipsRecently, I was lucky enough to be invited to play hair model for the day by Keep Austin Gorgeous hair salon, as recommended by our very own lovely SB art director, Kat Devers! Not only was it a blast pretending to be on America’s Next Top Model but I enjoyed being pampered in their absolutely adorable salon as I got washed, colored, and styled.

Hair dipping is a relatively new trend, as shown by the beautiful Lauren Conrad, but I have to say I am a fan already. Whether or not this trend will take off, I can’t say for sure, but I have a feeling plenty of girls will be trying it. Normally I think bright and non-natural colors look tacky and invasive on such pretty faces but there’s something about this style of coloring that I think is absolutely endearing. I would never in a million years think I would put magenta, blue, and purple in my hair, but I did and I could not be happier.

I think what I love about this look is that it’s just the tips of your hair and that’s what makes it subtle and sweet. It looks great on all shades of hair from platinum blonde to black and you can adjust the types of colors you want according to your hair shade. I went for deep, cool colors while some of my friends went for a bright pop! Every girl likes to experiment with their hair and their style and I highly suggest giving this a try. It’s fun, kind of quirky, and you can make it unique to you.
