HOW TO: SPLIT HAIR DYE - Sophie Hannah

I’ve been wanting to give split hair a go for ages now, and since my roots were due for a re-bleach I thought it was the perfect timing to try it out. Some of you might ask, what is split hair; and well it’s as straightforward as it sounds. You literally split your hair down the centre and dye it two colours.

As you all know I’m a bit of a mermaid and I’m definitely not ready to give up my mermaid dyed locks yet. So the two colours I chose were BLUE and TURQUOISE. I have a lot of dye at home already so I had everything I needed to create the look. I used the shades: Fudge Blue Velvet and Crazy Color Blue Jade.

As you can see my roots are freshly bleached, which you can find a tutorial on how to do this at home on my YouTube channel. My roots weren’t as white as I would have liked, however the results of the split hair were great considering. Usually you need your hair to be as white as possible to achieve a strong, clean colour.

I have a middle parting anyway, so I just used a comb and followed this down the back of my hair. I used a mirror and made sure the back was straight and then sectioned one side off. I then started to apply the colour, one side at a time. I used a brush and made sure each side was covered in each colour as I didn’t want any patches.

You can see the results below and if you want to watch a full tutorial on how to do it, you can do so via my YouTube channel right here.
