The Blue Mullet and Jet Black Dip Dye
Do you have faded hair color? Old colors often look very uneven. Indeed, many clients struggle with dark outgrown roots. Therefore, we want to share a big hair change today. First, we must explain what the client actually wanted. Specifically, she wanted a massive, edgy style change. She completely hated her boring faded ends. Furthermore, she desired a heavy nineties punk vibe. Thus, she asked for bright blue with harsh black ends. Let us explain this amazing salon process below.
Fixing the Faded Canvas
First, we had to fix her messy hair base. Actually, her old blue dye faded to a warm beige. Furthermore, she had very long, dark natural roots. Consequently, we needed to make an even, clean base. Thus, we safely bleached her dark roots first. Then, we gently cleaned the old beige ends. Therefore, the fresh dye would grab perfectly everywhere. Ultimately, fixing an old fade takes great patience.
The Cool Mullet Haircut
Next, let us discuss her cool mullet haircut. Specifically, she wanted a heavy, choppy shape. Therefore, we cut her hair to a short shoulder length. Furthermore, we added heavy layers for a cool mullet vibe. Actually, short mullets are very popular right now. Consequently, this layered cut gives amazing top volume. Thus, it perfectly matches her bold new vivid color.
The Dip Dye Trend Explained
Additionally, what exactly is a black dip dye? Indeed, this bold color trend is everywhere right now. The client explicitly asked for harsh color lines. Specifically, it looks like you dipped your ends in paint. Therefore, it creates a very sharp, hard block of color. Conversely, a normal balayage creates a soft, blended melt. Furthermore, we dyed her top section a bright blue. Meanwhile, we painted her choppy mullet ends completely jet black. Ultimately, this sharp contrast looks extremely edgy and fun.
Preventing Color Bleeding at Home
Furthermore, we must discuss washing your new vivid hair. Actually, dark hair colors bleed very easily. Therefore, the black ends might easily stain your bright blue top. Thus, you must wash your hair with freezing cold water. Additionally, you should wash the blue and black sections separately. Also, always use a gentle color-safe salon shampoo. Ultimately, this strict routine stops the two colors from mixing together.
How to Style Your New Mullet
Next, let us review your daily mullet styling routine. Indeed, this choppy cut needs cool, gritty texture. Therefore, we highly recommend a matte styling paste. Simply rub a small amount between your warm hands. Then, gently scrunch it into your short top layers. Consequently, this makes the blue and black contrast pop perfectly. Ultimately, styling this nineties cut only takes two minutes.
The Beautiful Fade-Out Process
Finally, what happens when this vivid color fades? Actually, bright blue dye fades quite quickly. Therefore, it will slowly turn into a cool pastel mint. Meanwhile, the jet black ends will stay very dark permanently. Thus, you get a completely new, fun look every single month. Ultimately, we simply apply a fresh blue toner during your next visit.
Salon Time and Pricing Details
Also, let us discuss the exact salon details. Actually, this big color change took around five and a half hours. First, bleaching roots and fixing old color takes serious time. Furthermore, this Double Process Creative Color and haircut cost €320 total. Specifically, this total price includes the cool mullet chop. Therefore, you must plan your salon day very carefully. Ultimately, a perfect vivid look simply takes expert salon time.
