The ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ is the hair trend that gives you two different looks for the price of one

One of the most dramatic hair trends yet.

‘Jekyll and Hyde’ hair is the latest trend to take over Instagram and it’s all thanks to Melina Clark, an expert colourist based in California.

According to Refinery 29, Melina recently took part in a competition where she showcased her take on the trend: one side of her model’s hair is jet black and the other is multi-coloured, making for a striking look.

Jekyll and Hyde hair is similar to the ‘split-hair’ trend that got a lot of love last year but this one is even more dramatic.

I did it! :3 @littlebodybigheart inspired split hair! By far the coolest thing I've ever done with my hair and I think it looks amazing! I used Virgin Pink and Purple Rain from @arcticfoxhaircolor and if you have any questions feel free to ask! I'm always willing to help people out with hair dyeing ❤ – – – – – #pastel #pink #pastelpink #grunge #blue #happy #cute #love #fun #crybaby #melaniemartinez #theneighbourhood #splithair #dyedhair #pinkhair #purplehair #purple #scene #choker #arcticfoxhaircolor #meow

There’s also a softer take on the trend if brights aren’t your thing and we’re loving the pastel and metallic hues emerging on Instagram.
