Hair Color Ombre


In the fashion world Ombré usually refers to fabric, a dying procedure that produces a pale-to-dark gradation of color or reversed, and in hair color this sort of coloring has been around awhile but is only showing up now as a trend. There are many fabulous things about this hair coloring approach: it's highly economical, incredibly low maintenance, and works with any texture or tone and you can have and create many different versions of this graduated hair color look. So imagine your hair after spending time in the sun as it always lightens the ends, but it is not a grown out color which can look dull and warn this ends up looking more polished shiny and way cool.
There are several ways of doing this; most common is a balayage (hand paint) or what I prefer backcombing. (The backcombing will help diffuse and soften the highlight, giving hair that sun-kissed, natural look) So be aware that this type of hair coloring is not your typical highlights coming from the roots. And whatever technique is used it is undeniably artful, the appeal is in its purposeful imperfection for the ultimate Ombré hair color.
