While the traditional oil slick colors play up violets, greys, blues and greens — make the trend your own by incorporating a strand of red here and there. It's the perfect contrast for making blue eyes pop.

Ombre hair is still very much a thing, but an oil slick version is one way to enhance the style. (Plus, it's perfect for the ladies who have hair color commitment issues.

Why pick one, when you can have them all? We love this extra-vibrant take on the oil slick hair trend. Just be sure to go two to three days between washing to extend the life of your bright, eye-catching colors. To DIY this look at home, try Splat Midnight Hair Color, $8.99.

So what if you're a naturally light brunette? You can still pull off the trend by adding subtle red highlights to the green/purple/blue scheme — and it looks just as beautiful in a subdued tone. It instantly jazzes up your natural look, and there is zero bleaching required. Winning (does happy dance).

Regular touch-ups? No, thanks. This oil slick ombre allows ladies to go longer between hair appointments by keeping the color strictly to the ends (if you're working with your natural hair color at the root, of course). Just be sure to use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner (we love B3 Brazilian Bond Builder Color Care Shampoo, $30, and the B3 Brazilian Bond Builder Color Care Conditioner, $32), to ensure your dazzling strands stay fabulous.
