Celebrity Two-Toned Hair

From colored extensions to dyed tips, see how your favorite celebs are rocking sexy shade accents this winter.

Pink


This pop singer appropriately shows off her chilly streak at the premiere of Happy Feet Two. Even without a fleet of dancing penguins, we're loving how she uses a subdued, neon blue hue to add edgy glamour to her cropped, grey locks. Silver sirens, take note, this trend can be worn by all ages!

Fergie


The easiest way to sport contrasting shades? Let your roots grow in! At the Teen Choice Awards, Fergie-Ferg flaunts her dramatically dark base by wearing her strands in a severe center part. DIYer's can try out side-swept looks, too.

Lady Gaga


Though we don't recommend this Marge Simpson-esque bouffant for day-to-day livin', we do love how this pop icon uses contrasting color extensions to add dimension to her sky-high style. More demure divas can experiment with pastel hues to amp up lackluster updos.

Jessie J


Seen here at a London concert, Ms. J can teach us a thing or two about dual-dye how-to's. Ladies with single-processed color (like this raven-haired pop singer) can get away with wearing bold gem tone tints because the splashes of equally-pigmented color balance each other out. Conversely, highlighted honeys should steer clear of these richer shades.

Jordin Sparks


A few strategically placed slivers of lavender work to add fullness and length to this song bird's seriously-straight mane. Women with similarly inky hues should also stick to blue-based dyes when looking for complementary tones. (Warm tints can look brassy against brunette hair.)

Katy Perry


When you're going lighter than your natural shade (like this chronic color-chameleon), do like Perry and use complementary tints around your mug to flatter skin undertones. Seen here at a winter benefit, she plays up her rosy complexion with face-framing sections of hair in gradating pink hues.

Nicki Minaj


Ms. Minaj's take on club-ready hair color? Divide and conquer! Seen here with a half-Barbie, half-Smurf look, this pop star opts for an asymmetrical take when wearing her color palette. Should any DIY'ers go the same route, follow in this singer's footsteps and use a wig instead of your natural hair to get an exact shade-seam down the middle of your mane.
