This Japanese dye technique makes us want to change our hair for summer

It's SO colourful.

Hair trends are hugely popular at the minute and the latest one is Shibori, a Japanese technique that produces colourful intricate patterns.

Spotted on Cosmopolitan, stylist Tanya Ramirez created a stunning rainbow look which she talks through in the below YouTube video.

Tanya starts by dying the hair a light blue colour and building on this base, she uses popsicle sticks covered in a darker shade of blue to achieve the pretty designs.

Posting the video to Instagram, Tanya wrote: “Unleash your spirit and discover the transformative power of hair that tells your story. Get untamed!”

This look won’t be for everyone but it is a fab summer hair trend if you feel like completely transforming your hairstyle.
