17 Half-And-Half Hair Colors That Prove Two Hues Are Better Than One

Forget ombre, sombre, and the other fifty different versions. If you want a bold hair color, look no further than half-and-half hair. We’re not talking dip dye. We’re talking split, Cruella de Vil-style hair. You’ve probably noticed two-tone hair appearing more and more on Instagram and Tumblr recently. It’s perfect if you can’t decide what color you want to dye your hair. The only tricky part is figuring out what color you want your eyebrows to be. To get the look, you can pick up two different bottles of hair dye at random, or you can take a look at these split hair colors for inspiration.

Here are 17 half-and-half hair colors that show two hues are better than one:

1. Purple And Teal

This is bold and beautiful. In addition to the two-tone locks, who wouldn’t want hair this voluminous? Kate Middleton would be jealous.

2. Blue And Green

3. Black And Red

There is a split hair color for everyone, whether you want a softer look, candy-inspired shades, or something more edgy. Red and black is a tried-and-true classic.

4. Brown And Blonde

There are lots of crazy hair color options, but if you want something slightly more natural, this blonde and brunette dye job work well. It’s less stark than proper Cruella de Vil hair.

5. Purple And Pink

Pink and purple are two of the most popular rainbow hair colors, so if you can’t decide whether to go for bubblegum or lilac locks, you might as well choose both.

6. Red And Orange

You can go for a more natural red and orange look, or you can amp up the intensity for a vibrant finish. Just be prepared for the Catching Fire jokes.

7. Pale Pink And Fuchsia

You don’t need to choose two colors on the opposite sides of the color wheel. Try picking two different shades of your favorite color. Just make sure they’re distinct, so it doesn’t look like a hair color mishap.

8. White Blonde And Black

10. Soft Pink And Mint

If you have tried every pastel hair color from periwinkle to dove gray to dusty pink and don’t know what to do next, why not combine two of your favorites? If you’re worried about damaging your hair, you can always get a half-and-half colored wig.
