We're all about black and blonde ombre hair for 2018!

1. Black and platinum

Kirstin Maldonado loves to switch up her hair colour, but it’s her latest look that has us jumping for joy! Usually playing around with brighter hues, Kirstin has decided to bring it back to basics with this amazing espresso and creamy platinum look – anyone else suddenly craving an iced coffee?

By taking her dip-dye higher and keeping her roots darker, she’s definitely giving off serious Nirvana vibes.

Editor’s tip: Before you get your black and blonde ombre hair dye job, we recommend using a colour-specific wash and care system, like the Dove Colour Care Shampoo and Conditioner.

This will help keep your mane in tip-top shape and keep your colour looking vibrant.
