dip dye

Tips-only hair color

Dip dye is a hair coloring technique where only the ends are colored, creating a distinct contrast with the natural or base color above.

Unlike ombré, which blends gradually, dip dye produces a sharper transition: She dip-dyed her blonde hair bright pink.

The term extends to fabric dyeing with the same effect.
