Ombre on long hair: features and technology
Translation of the word ombre from French - "shadow", which fully reflects the essence of the issue. Although most often this technique is used on dark hair, it must be remembered that ombre is a gradual transition of dark shades to light. However, the reverse technique - from light to dark is also possible. For an unassuming look, it seems as if you haven’t tinted your hair roots for a long time or rested in a sunny resort for a long time.
A game of smooth transition of colors allows you to make a visual increase in the volume of curls, it will look especially beautiful if the hair is not completely smooth, a little wavy. However, nobody has yet canceled the perm, so owners of straight hair should not worry. Even the owners of the simplest hairstyles can originally beat their hair style with the participation of a similar color, adding a special charm.
One of the main advantages of this type of dyeing is also that the treatment with paint does not occur along the entire length of the hair, but only part of it. Therefore, if you decide to radically change color after a long time, for example, before you were blonde, and after you decided to return the dark color of your hair, it is the ombre that will help you save your face.
The ombre effect is achieved by staining the ends of the hair with the desired shade of ombre in stages. First, the paint is applied from the middle of the hair to the ends for 30 minutes, then the same color is applied to the ends of the hair ten centimeters higher than the first time and only 10 minutes. The third layer covers only the tips and also for 10 minutes.
Ombre on long hair: on dark hair
If you are the owner of dark hair, then you need to understand that chemical intervention here will be the most minimal. The classic ombre with this option, in general, prefers to leave the roots not stained, but makes the lower strands of hair lighter. And most importantly, such coloring will help to correct the oval of your face and give your hair a rather dizzying volume, especially if you use several different shades.
1. If you are the owner of black hair, then the most spectacular will be the use of white. This contrast transition is called monochrome and looks very stylish. Usually used as a light color paint with a hint of platinum blond. Perhaps this technique is the most eye-catching in its too large color difference. Basically, such an ombre technique has a too noticeable horizontal separation line, however, recently a blurry transition closer to the tips has also been used.
2. The classic ombre implies the use of only two shades, which should be as close as possible to the natural. For example, a successful combination would be the transition of chocolate-colored hair to hazel. It is this ombre that is distinguishable in a couple of tones is considered the most successful, because natural glare appears in the hairstyle and the hair looks most natural. The border between the different colors is specially made blurry, and the upper half of the hair almost always remains natural.
3. The multitone ombre has a very thin structure, because here more than 3 different shades of paint are used. Only a professional should trust this procedure, because only one paint and various exposure times are used to create shades. The most chic of such coloring is the almost indistinguishable borders of the transition of colors, which makes the hair very bright, but at the same time quite natural.
4. If you can’t constantly visit the salon for any reason, then the best option for you may be "regrowth reservation." Here the emphasis is on the effect of overgrown roots. Usually the upper part is dyed darker, sometimes leaving it natural, and the entire remaining mass of hair is dyed, creating a transition to lighter tones. The finished hairstyle will have a very refined style.
Ombre on long hair: blond hair
If the original ombre was performed only on dark hair, then over time varieties appeared for blonde girls. A fairly wide palette of colors and methods can also be used here.
1. Scandinavian ombre is suitable for very fair-haired girls, preferably even with an ashen shade of hair. It will help to bring variety to the style, smoothly translating blond hair into black or dark brown colors. The end result looks quite extravagant, especially with the fact that a trend has recently appeared to add bright cool colors to it.
2. Also there is also the opportunity to apply the classic ombre. It is distinguished by the use of two soft natural shades, one of them is preferably natural. If you are the owner of brown hair, then the tips should be made lighter, however, if you are really blonde, then the tips are made darker, so that the effect of burnt hair or regrown roots is manifested.
3. Also one of the options for ombre on fair hair is the so-called "reverse" ombre. Here, contrast plays on lighter roots and darker tips, mainly using shades of chocolate, chestnut and caramel. The border is usually created quite blurry, but you can make it more contrast. This will help to give the hair a visual volume, and the image will become more vivid.
