The #splithair trend ensures you never have to pick between blonde & brunette (or blue & green?) again

You know who couldn’t decide between two hair colours? Cruella Deville. And why should she? You may have noticed the hashtag #splithair popping up on your Instagram newsfeed, and it’s so bold, it makes Kylie Jenner’s candy-coloured locks look #iwokeuplikethis-worthy.

After unlikely celebs like Hilary Duff and Jourdan Dunn hopped on the pastel hair train, we thought we had seen it all. But like any trend, those days are already behind us, as progressive beauties move onto the next head-turning ‘do.

As the name suggests, this half-and-half hairstyle is defined by contrasting two hues, which are typically divided at the crown of the head. Can’t decide between blue and green ? With split hair, you can literally have the best of both worlds! From brown and blonde to red and orange, it’s safe to say that pretty much anything goes when it comes to choosing two perfect hues.

Although this over-the-top look may not seem practical for everyday wear, with accounts like @splithair dedicated exclusively to the daring style, if you’re going to go for it, you may as well do it for the ‘gram.
