Ombre coloring is a real must-have for the spring-summer 2013 season. The main task of Ombre coloring is to transform hair and create the effect of slightly sunburned ends. The editorial staff of WDay.ru decided to test the Ombre coloring on their own hair and went to the beauty salon of Alexei Dymov.
Ombre color on light hair.
Ombre is suitable for all hair types and shades. The only thing: the darker the tone of the hair, the brighter the transition should be. For coloring the ombre, you can also use creative shades of paint: crimson, red, blue, purple.
Ombre coloring on dark hair.
For light shades of hair, both bright, saturated colors for dyeing the ends, and barely noticeable are suitable. First of all, the possibilities of ombre staining solutions depend on the creativity of the master. To accentuate the ombre coloring, you need to create movement or soft textures in the hair, thereby emphasizing the highlights and borders of the coloring. To care for hair colored with Ombre technology, you will need special treatment products for colored hair and nourishing masks for the ends of the hair. It is important to understand that a lighter transition is done using aggressive dyes. And only the correct application of the dye by the master and the correct care will ensure non-traumatic staining. In addition, it is easy to return to the original look, it is easy to recolor the ombre. If you are tired of this staining, you can make the color monotonous with the help of ammonia-free dyes or persistent paints. In order to preserve the beauty and quality of hair, dyeing at home is not recommended.
You can observe what Ombre looks like by drawing attention to Western celebrities. One of the brightest representatives who choose such coloring for themselves is Sarah Jessica Parker, Drew Barrymore. Ombre provides for dyeing in which the dark shade of the hair at the roots gradually along the entire length smoothly turns into a very light shade at the tips. For this reason, ombre coloring is also called “two-tone coloring”, “hail” or “color stretch”.
