18 Totally Awesome Hair Color Ideas for Two Tone Hair

Two tone hair color ideas are taking the world by storm! Gone are the days of boring hair color!

Ombre hair is really popular right now, but if you aren’t ready to commit to a multitude of color, why not try a two-tone color instead?

Rainbow hair is also in style, but not everyone has the time or patience to commit to that many colors. Start with a combo of two colors and go from there when you are ready to take the plunge!

Blonde Balayage Tones

Save to

If you aren’t yet ready to make a dramatic change to your locks, you can try this blonde balayage style. Those with blonde hair can just mix in some darker shades, while brunettes can add some light blonde balayage tones to soften their look. This way, you still have contrasting colors without going over the top. This look is perfect for those who work in a professional setting.

Warm and Cool Combo

Save to

This half-and-half combo of bright turquoise blue and platinum blonde is just stunning. A cool and warm combo is a bit edgy and extremely eye-catching. If you want to stand out from the crowd, try a fun cool to warm fade or half-and-half combo. Pastel shades work just as nicely as brighter shades. And “half-and-half” can mean horizontal, vertical or even diagonal – the look is totally up to you! This look has endless combinations of color for a bold, new look!

Face Framing Highlights

Save to

This is another look for those who prefer a more subtle two-tone color effect. You can go bold like these pink streaks that frame the face or you can opt for a more subtle look like honey blonde face framing highlights on auburn hair. Again, there are plenty of options for color with this style. You can go sophisticated and classy or bold and edgy, the choice is yours!

Peek-a-Boo Color

Save to

This look is great for those who just want a pop of color in their tresses. You can opt for a subtle balayage a few shades darker or lighter than your natural color if you want a clean look. Or, you can go for bold colors such as this neon pink. You can “hide” you burst of color anywhere you wish, which again, gives you a lot of options. Undertones are easier to hide at work but look great when you wear your hair in an updo.
