Ombre is a fashionable technique for coloring the hair, suggesting a smooth horizontal transition of shades from one to the other ("stretching the color"). The classical variant provides for staining from the roots and approximately to the middle of the length in dark tones (dark hair from nature can be not colored) and lightening of the tips of the hair .
Of course, the technique of performing an ombre requires some skill, especially when combining more than two shades. Therefore, it is better to entrust it to a specialist. In addition, in the salon the specialist will be able to professionally select the paint for ombre, depending on the natural color of the hair, skin tone, face shape, etc.
However, having carefully studied the technique of this staining, it is still possible to achieve a good result independently. It is best to start with a simple, two-ton coloring. Let's consider what color can be done by an ombre if you paint the house.
What kind of paint should I choose for an ombre?
Determining what hair color to make ombre, owners of light hair can not limit themselves in the choice of shades. The main thing is that the color of the paint is not darker than the natural color of the hair for more than 2-3 tones. Brunettes with very dark hair are better to choose in favor of a smooth transition from dark chestnut and black to golden-chestnut shade. When choosing brands of products it is better to give preference to sparing tinting paints, for example:
- Schwarzkopf Essential Color;
- Cutrin Reflection, Londacolor.
For dyeing an ombre it is recommended to use two types of paint:
- paint of light shade for highlighting tips;
- toning paint, with which the transition of shades is softened.
Girls who have recently painted their hair in a very dark or black color should always consult with the master; The usual colors in this situation may not be suitable.
