Fire + Ice
One side a hot red-leaning pink, the other a pale icy blue, split so the two temperatures meet down the center.

Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the shade lands on your photo instead.
The idea here is temperature rather than depth: both halves sit at a similar lightness, so what the eye reads is warm against cold, not dark against light. The pink is the more saturated of the two and bleeds first, usually softening to a rose within a handful of washes. The blue drifts toward a green-tinged aqua as it goes. Rinsing the halves separately in cold water slows the bleed at the part line.
- Undertonewarm, cool. It carries both directions at once, so which half lands near your face matters more than your undertone does: the pink warms the skin beside it, the blue cools it.
- Starting pointBoth sides need bleaching to a clean pale blonde around level nine or ten, because a semi-permanent pink and a pastel blue will not show at all on unlifted dark hair.
- UpkeepRefresh with color-depositing conditioner every two or three washes and plan a full retone every four to six weeks, since the pink fades noticeably faster than the blue.
Try it before the bleach
Color is the expensive mistake to get wrong. Put Fire + Ice against your own skin tone first.
