The saying “everything old is new again” is well worn when it comes to fashion and beauty trends. Case in point: Kylie Jenner’s blue ombré locks from 2014 are back in vogue. Jenner’s blue-dipped hair made quite the statement all those years ago and fast forward to 2021, and we’re back on the blue hair train.
Since then, a number of celebrities have also tried their hand at blue hair with both Billie Eilish and Hilary Duff having a brief blue hair period. And, while both Eilish and Duff rocked a full head of blue hair (and both looked super cool), you don’t have to commit to a full dye job to experience the fun of multi-coloured hair.
Recently, blue ombré hair has made a comeback, with Instagram full of blue-haired people. If you’re keen to try the ombré trend for yourself, or you’re simply collecting inspiration for future, we have rounded up ways to get involved in this trend.

Another fun way to incorporate this trend is by dyeing your roots blue and leaving the ends another colour for a reverse ombré.
