Two-Tone Hair Dyes: Trendy Gradients That Add Depth and Elegance to Your Look - Jordan News
Hair has long been a canvas for self-expression—but the rise of two-tone hair color trends has transformed it into a vibrant, living artwork. Moving away from classic single-color dyes, two-tone hair offers a unique twist—bold or soft, depending on your choice. This technique goes beyond mere aesthetics, allowing women to create daring, personalized touches and giving hair a captivating visual dimension that reflects the personality of those who crave renewal and embrace individuality as a cornerstone of their style. اضافة اعلان Here, we explore the latest two-tone hair dye trends inspired by celebrity red carpet looks—so you can find the one that speaks to your soul. Remember: true beauty often begins with the bold details that elevate your charm. 1. Icy Blonde with Dark Roots – Inspired by Angelina Jolie This look combines the cool purity of icy blonde with the warmth of brown or black roots, creating a striking contrast that frames the face and adds depth to everyday styles. It suits fans of modern European aesthetics and is a favorite among global celebrities. Ideal for fair skin tones, it also beautifully enhances light or hazel eyes. 2. Golden Blonde with Brown – Like Gigi Hadid If you're seeking a color blend that exudes warmth, softness, and natural glow, golden blonde with brown is the perfect match. This timeless yet modern mix highlights the richness of the brown base, while golden strands add radiant luminosity. Whether styled as soft balayage or a gradual ombré, the result is natural, feminine, and full of life. Best for olive and tan skin tones, it also enhances green and hazel eyes—making it a stylish option for a subtle yet refreshing change. 3. Platinum Blonde with Dark Roots – Inspired by Elsa Hosk This Hollywood-glam combo of platinum blonde and dark roots exudes elegance and edge. The cool-toned, metallic shine of platinum catches the light dramatically, while dark brown roots provide intentional depth and rebellious flair. This pairing reflects a bold, confident, and unique personality. It's particularly flattering on light to medium skin tones and beautifully complements blue or gray eyes. 4. Ash Blonde with Dark Roots – Like Kelly Rowland Ash blonde with dark roots delivers a refined, metallic finish that radiates distinction. The frosty blonde extends through the lengths, while dark roots anchor the look with a natural touch of depth. Perfect for darker and warmer skin tones, this pairing brings brightness and a modern glow—especially when paired with a short haircut that strikes a perfect balance between strength and femininity. 5. Brown and Caramel Gradients – Inspired by Alison Tuby This elegant and understated look merges natural brown tones with soft caramel highlights for a luminous, feminine effect. The harmonious shades give the hair richness and natural movement, reflecting light with every wave. The soft balayage technique enhances the brightness without overwhelming the calm nature of the brown base. This choice flatters almost every skin tone—especially olive and tan complexions—and brings a sun-kissed vibrancy without the need for loud or risky color choices. 6. Copper with Soft Red Undertones – Like Meredith Duxbury Warm copper tones blended with subtle earthy reds create a luxurious, artfully layered color. The copper glows with a reddish-golden hue, while soft red strands add visual depth and richness. This duo is perfect for fair or medium skin tones, as it enhances the natural warmth of the complexion and brings out facial features—especially blue or gray eyes. 7. Chocolate Brown with Caramel Highlights – Inspired by Amal Clooney Chocolate brown paired with shiny caramel strands (using the 'lowlight' technique) creates a naturally flowing gradient from dark roots to radiant ends. This soft, elegant blend refreshes your overall look and brings warmth—especially flattering for olive or tan skin tones. Amal Clooney's version adds golden, sun-kissed pieces that light up her entire appearance, embodying effortless elegance. Interested in learning the difference between lowlights and highlights? It's key to choosing the right coloring technique for your goals. How to Choose the Right Two-Tone Hair Color for Your Skin Tone The secret to a flawless two-tone hair color lies in harmonizing the shades with your natural complexion. Here's a quick guide: Fair Skin: Opt for cool tones like ash blonde, rose, or blue. Olive/Tan Skin: Try chestnut, auburn, or dark blonde. Dark Skin: Shine with warm tones like golden, copper, or bronze. Whether you go for ombré, balayage, or a classic dual-tone, always ensure a smooth and cohesive transition between the colors. Caring for Two-Tone Colored Hair Use a sulfate-free shampoo designed for color-treated hair. Avoid frequent washing to preserve the richness of the color. Apply deep-conditioning masks and heat-protection products regularly. Touch up roots or highlights as needed to maintain a fresh and vibrant look. Ladies, your hair is your crown—wear it with creativity, confidence, and care. Two-tone dyes are more than a trend; they are a statement of individuality and elegance, tailored just for you.

The EU — America's biggest trading partner and the world's largest trading bloc — had been scheduled to impose ″countermeasures″ starting Monday at midnight Brussels time (6 p.m. EDT; 22:00 GMT). The EU negotiates trade deals on behalf of its 27 member countries. Von der Leyen said those countermeasures would be delayed until Aug. 1, and that Trump's letter shows ″that we have until the first of August″ to negotiate. ″We have always been clear that we prefer a negotiated solution,″ she said. If they can't reach a deal, she said that ″we will continue to prepare countermeasures so we are fully prepared.″ Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Europe's biggest exports to the U.S. are pharmaceuticals, cars, aircraft, chemicals, medical instruments and wine and spirits. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani was heading to Washington for talks Monday with the U.S. administration and Congress. In a statement, Tajani's office said that in his talks with EU allies before the meetings, he stressed the need to 'negotiate with one's head held high.' The right-wing government of Premier Giorgia Meloni, the only EU leader to attend Trump's inauguration, has sought to position itself as a ' bridge' between Brussels and Washington. Trump has said his global tariffs would set the foundation for reviving a U.S. economy that he claims has been ripped off by other nations for decades. Trump in his letter to the EU said the U.S. trade deficit was a national security threat. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. U.S. trade partners — and companies around the world from French winemakers to German carmakers — have faced months of uncertainty and on-and-off threats from Trump to impose tariffs, with deadlines sometimes extended or changed. The tariffs could have ramifications for nearly every aspect of the global economy. The value of EU-U.S. trade in goods and services amounted to 1.7 trillion euros (US$2 trillion) in 2024, or an average of 4.6 billion euros a day, according to EU statistics agency Eurostat. Trade ministers from EU countries are scheduled to meet Monday to discuss trade relations with the U.S., as well as with China. Speaking alongside Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, von der Leyen said the trade tensions with the U.S. show the importance of 'diversifying our trade relationships.″ Announcing closer cooperation between the EU and Indonesia, she stressed the need for 'predictable' trading partnerships based on 'trust.' The Indonesian leader said, 'I think the United States will be always a very important leader in the world,' but also stressed the need for multilateral relationships, adding, 'We would like to see a very strong Europe.' — Associated Press writer Nicole Winfield in Rome contributed to this report.

Next fortnight crucial for Ireland amid US tariff threats
There's no doubt US President Donald Trump's threat of 30% tariffs is a significant blow to both the European Union and Ireland. Earlier this week, Taoiseach Micheál Martin expressed hopes that Brussels and Washington could agree a framework deal which would pause any escalation in trade tensions. But Mr Trump's letter to the EU, dated last Friday, suggests a positive short-term arrangement is less likely. The next two weeks will be crucial for Ireland and the EU. In the immediate term nothing changes - tariffs of 10% are still being imposed by the US on EU goods. The exceptions remain the pharmaceutical and computer chip manufacturing sectors, both enormously important to the Irish economy. Mr Trump's announcement now raises the damaging prospect of 30% tariffs being imposed if a deal is not reached by 1 August. His intervention to make the threat in the middle of EU-US negotiations has sent shockwaves through European capitals. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has warned of "proportionate countermeasures" if the US hikes its tariffs on imports from the EU. There is no guarantee Mr Trump will follow through on his ultimatum on 1 August - the deadline has already been shifted from 9 July. Nor is there any certainty the rate will be 30%. Previously, he has suggested tariffs of 20% and 50% on EU goods. The EU's position is to remain calm and continue negotiations - while turning up the rhetoric on the likelihood of reciprocal countermeasures. But for Irish exporters, the lack of certainty is now even more pronounced. Businesses don't know when to expect increased tariffs or what the rate might be. This unpredictability undermines the business rationale for making further investments - and further investments equal jobs. In parallel with the threat of 30% tariffs, the US is investigating trading arrangements for the pharmaceutical and computer chip manufacturing sectors. Nobody can presume their escape from tariffs to date will remain the position in future. Tomorrow morning, stock markets and bond markets will reopen - their response to Mr Trump's burst of letter-writing will be crucial. In April, when the markets took fright at the US president's tough talk on tariffs, leading to a jump in the US cost of borrowing, he quickly backed down. Now, however, the political and financial environments may have shifted. His success in having his tax cuts bill approved by Congress may have emboldened him to return to tariff threats on various countries, including EU member states.

EU-Indonesia announce ‘political agreement' on long awaited free trade deal amid global uncertainty
The 27-nation European bloc and Southeast Asia's largest economy have been negotiating since 2016 to agree a deal that is expected to increase trade and investment read more EU chief Ursula von der Leyen and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto on Sunday announced a 'political agreement' to conclude a long-awaited free trade deal, as US leader Donald Trump upends global commerce. 'We're living in turbulent times and when economic uncertainty meets geopolitical volatility, partners like us must come closer together. So today we're taking a big step forward in this partnership,' von der Leyen told journalists in Brussels. 'I am very pleased to report that we have just reached a political agreement on an ambitious Free Trade Agreement.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The 27-nation European bloc and Southeast Asia's largest economy have been negotiating since 2016 to agree a deal that is expected to increase trade and investment. A European Commission statement called Sunday's agreement a 'decisive milestone' towards striking the deal – which is to be concluded in September by EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic and Indonesia's chief economic minister Airlangga Hartarto. 'There's a lot of untapped potential in our trade relationship. And therefore this agreement comes at the right time, because the new agreement will open new markets,' von der Leyen said. 'It will create more opportunities in key industries, in business activity and agriculture, in automotive and in services.' Brussels has stepped up efforts to improve ties with key potential partners around the world as Trump threatens a trade war with sweeping tariffs. 'This big and important political agreement on the free trade agreement with Indonesia is today a huge milestone forward, and shows that we're looking for new markets, open markets,' von der Leyen said. Prabowo called the announcement in Brussels a 'breakthrough'. 'After 10 years of negotiations, we have concluded the agreement to have a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, which basically is a free trade agreement,' he said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The president said 'we consider Europe still a very important factor, and we would like to see a very strong Europe.' But he insisted that 'the United States will be always a very important leader in the world'. The European Union is Indonesia's fifth-largest trading partner with bilateral trade between them reaching $30.1 billion last year. Ties had been frayed by a proposed EU import ban on products linked to deforestation that has angered Indonesia because it is a major palm oil exporter. That legislation has been delayed to the end of this year.

FIFA agrees to 72-hour match rest rule and 21-day off-season break for players
WASHINGTON, July 13, (AP): FIFA says players' representatives and the sport's governing body have reached a consensus on the need for a period of rest of 72 hours between matches, and agreed that players should enjoy a minimum of 21 days of holidays at the end of each season. The discussions took place before the Club World Cup final between PSG and Chelsea. The tournament was held during the European offseason and has faced criticism from unions, as an increased focus on player welfare has been leading to calls for mandatory rest periods and a greater emphasis on player safety during matches. Days before the start of the month-long Club World Cup, soccer chiefs faced renewed calls to safeguard players over growing fears of injuries and burnout. Last month, France's union of professional soccer players launched a scathing attack on the competition, saying it is "urgent to stop this massacre' amid ongoing concerns about extreme player workloads. FIFA president Gianni Infantino and other officials from soccer's governing body met with representatives of players' unions from around the world in New York. FIFA hailed the discussions as "progressive,' adding that players' health is a "top priority.' "There is a consensus that there must be at least 72 hours of rest between matches, and that players should have a rest period/holiday of at least 21 days at the end of each season,' FIFA said. "This period should be managed individually by each club and the respective players, also depending on their match calendars and taking into account applicable collective agreements.' Enforcing 72 hours strictly could mean big adjustments to some game schedules and TV deals. FIFA didn't indicate how it would work in practice. European teams playing in the Europa League late Thursday evening routinely play domestic league games on the following Sunday. With a strict 72-hour break, they might have to wait until Monday to play again. That would be a major headache for the German Bundesliga. It abolished Monday evening games in 2021 after years of protests by fans who wanted easier-to-attend weekend kickoffs. When it introduced the unpopular Monday kickoffs four seasons earlier, the German league argued it would mean more rest for Europa League teams. The new Bundesliga TV deal starting next season doesn't include any Monday games, either. FIFA added that a rest day per week should also be allowed and that travel demands as well as climate conditions, will also factor into future competition planning.
