Remembering the Ombre and Dip-Dyed hair in the fickle world of fashion and beauty, its so 2014. The latest quirky colour trend is an innovation that has gone viral over the social media. What is developed by Madrid-based studio "X-presion" and recreated by the hair & beauty giant Revlon for one of it's campaign, its the technique referred to as #xpresionpixel.
As described by the innovators, "It's a technique that achieves a new chromatic dimension and colored pixelated effect on the hair. The movement of the hair transforms into the appearance of the pixel effect—something that is never seen before!”.
For colour, suitability and placement we recommend speaking to a professional colour technician and do not try to create this look at home.

The pixel hair trend is more of an art-form than the balayage and ombré techniques. To get the look, Square shaped blocks of colour are soaked into the hair locks, gradually blended and cascaded into one another to create the graphic effect.
We love the colouring technique that is so edgy and tranformational. It gives a sort of a retro look, that is much inspired by the 80's gaming pixels and creates an illusion of digital printing. It can be styled best on short and straight hair to get the exact look, because the movement of the hair and the difference in texture is minumum with such hair.
If you feel you would love a more subtle look, as walking in this kind of dyed hair around the streets or at work would be too daring, you can choose colors that are slightly lighter or darker than your natural hair color.
But, if you feel much confident about the trend, and can really show off the colour and detail, try out neon or shocking colors that can be done on your fringes !
