Alexa Chung, Mila Kunis and Khloe Kardashian are just a handful of the celebrities who have tried the trend, dip-dyed hair.

We love it. It gives off an instant laidback vibe, whether you're wearing a pair of denim cutoffs or an Alexander McQueen gown, like Mila below.

The two-tone, Rainbow bright ombre hair trend is the perfect summer look, guaranteed to be a headliner in the festival fashion stakes, thanks to the easy Californian look it evokes.

Whether you’re ready to go all out with a bold Blue hue or fancy adding a vibrant red to the ends of your hair, LIVE Color XXL allows you to follow today’s trends for effortless, quick and changeable looks; giving you incredible, irresistible colour.

Fashion tribes will be in their element with this achingly hip hair trend. From Jessie J’s raven black locks, finished with a daring bright purple; Alexa Cheung’s dark bob with a dirty blonde trim to Mila Kunis’ oh-so-glossy brunette style with subtle dip-dyed ends. If you’ve got the attitude LIVE XXL has got the colour!

To get Alexa’s look use LIVE XXL Max Blonde on the ends of your natural tresses; go up to 8 shades lighter with Max Blonde - the blondest Home-hair colour shade there is!

  • Using a hair band, tie the hair up just a few cm above where you want the colour to finish – decide how much of the ends you want to colour, just the tips or are you going to make a bold statement and colour halfway up your head?
  • Mix your LIVE XXL Max Blonde shade, so it’s ready to apply
  • Apply the colour - Fan your hair out into individual sections, this way you will get more coverage. Also feather the colour at the top so you blend well and aren’t left with a straight line of colour
  • Make sure you cover hair completely
  • To get the best colour result check after 25 minutes and if your hair is not blonde enough continue to allow to develop, checking every 5 minutes for the result.  Do not exceed 45 minutes
  • Then rinse off to reveal the final colour result
