You can combine this hairstyle with dark red lips and black eye makeup.

If you have been waiting for the blue hair color trend for 2017 then you are in the right place to find out the gorgeous tones of blue for your dark locks. Shades of blue grab attention at the first sight and make you look unique. Instead of the full ink blue or blue-black hair color, women can also choose dark blue ombre hair colors for their brunette strands. This trick works well, especially with long hair. Keep the top part in your natural black shade and dye only the tips into a dark blue tone. It will change your overall look.

Type-II - Light blue or sea green ombre
Type III - Dark gray with denim blue
