Brunette Summer Ombre Hair Color

One of the best times of the year to start getting your hair healthier or wanting to cultivate your own natural hair color through your already existing highlighted or colored hair this summer is with an Ombre approach. The “look” so to speak is and can be a beautiful style, dark-grown out roots worn with confidence also is one of my favourite way’s to help a client go from light blonde shades of highlights to darker tones, caramel’s, light brown’s etc, for a more natural look. And in the summer I hardly ever do lowlights because with the sun they always turn brassy, for me it’s not the best time of the year for lowlights, so ombre hair color is an ideal approach. Whether the ends of the hair are platinum or just simply to light the choice you make for the new hair color put through will determine a bolder or softer end result. The techniques I use to create these types of ombre colored looks are, back combing (coloring the back combed parts) not the typical straight ends, foil or slice highlights. Ombre hair being accidental or deliberate is another raw fresh look with great benefits such as preparing the hair for a new fall look without compromising style.

  24. Right now, I've got bleach blonde underneath. But I section my hair half up and have been dying the top a light dirty brown close to my natural. I'm planning on growing out the top section to my natural. However I want to keep dying the underneath a bleach blonde. That way when the blonde starts to grow out it won't be as noticeable. Having my natural on top will mean easy up keep. Without looking like a crunchy granola wearing birkenstocks. LOL. I'll still look intersting... without all the work of dying roots every month.
