Lokonov. Each strand is colored from light to dark shade or, vice versa, depending on desire or natural hair color.

Ombre makes blondes even more beautiful

The boundaries of the transitions between colors are usually shaded so that the overall appearance of the hair seems natural. Ombre is chosen by those who cannot or do not want to visit the salon often: the blurred tones allow the color to maintain a fresh look for a long time, while regrown roots are not so noticeable. However, colors can also be contrasting; they are usually chosen by young girls. no foil is used, so this coloring is more gentle.

The essence of ombre dyeing technique for blondes in 2017

Ombre is translated from French as “darkening” or “shadow”. This is the method itself: so that the appearance of a shadow is created. Today there are such ombre options:

1. Classic, two-tone technique - roots and ends are lighter. The boundaries of shades can be smoothly transitioning into one another or clear and contrasting.
2. Reverse ombre. When performing this procedure, the roots of the curls are left light, and the ends are tinted two shades darker. This ombre look is ideal for platinum blondes.
3. Vintage version - similar to the classic one, but the emphasis is on the effect of regrown roots.
4. Color painting uses bright shades: orange, .
5. Multi-tone coloring uses a multi-stage transition of tones, while introducing intermediate shades.
6. Framing. It is done with a cascade or layered haircut according to the classic type.
7. Highlighting or highlighting curls - revitalizes natural, light hair color. At the roots, the strands are left in a natural color, and the rest of the curls are shaded.

Selecting the right shade for dyeing medium, short and long hair: pink and other colors

The main task of ombre is to select matching tones in a color scheme that would be flattering and at the same time create a brighter look. It's worth starting from your hair color.

Stylists usually advise that shades be no more than two shades darker or lighter than natural curls. curls should not contrast with skin tone and eyes.

If the strands are too dark, they are lightened with a mask of two tablespoons of kefir and the same amount of vegetable oil. The mixture is applied to the hair, insulated and left for 4 hours. This mask can be repeated; it can lighten your hair a little.

There is another effective mixture of equal parts ground coffee and natural yogurt. This mixture is kept for about an hour.

Under no circumstances should you use laundry soap or solutions with baking soda or bleach for washing. This can ruin your hair and health.

Ombre is a technique that has not gone out of fashion for more than 10 years. It is performed on both dark and light hair and is suitable even for girls with short bobs. not only in the photo, but also in real life - this coloring visually increases the thickness of the hair and makes the complexion fresher. The technique can be mastered at home.

Classic ombre is a smooth gradient transition from dark to light. Using tools, the dye is distributed over the hair. There is also a reverse ombre, when a dark-colored stretch is created on light hair. The lightened part of the hair can be left as is, or tinted with a different color.

What hair type is it suitable for?

The technique is used at any length below the cheekbones. The longer the hair, the smoother the stretch should be. Techniques that highlight individual strands are suitable for bobs: “balayage”, structural ombre, “babylights”. Due to the play of shadow and light, the effect of additional volume is created, so ombre is suitable for those with thin hair.

Classic ombre with lightened stretch is suitable for hair from tone levels 1 to 8. In the table for colorists, 1 tone indicates black, 8 - light brown (wheat, neutral and ash). On blonde, the gradient is almost invisible.

Ombre for dark short hair (photos of stars presented later in the article will help you choose the appropriate technique) is a universal coloring. It suits thin and dense hair, straight and wavy. On curly girls, ombre looks as natural as possible - the curl additionally masks the transition of colors.

Positive sides of ombre

The first advantage of the technique is that the dye does not affect the roots and therefore does not weaken the hair or harm the scalp. The second and most important advantage is that ombre does not require monthly “refreshing” of the roots, as with classic coloring. You can update the gradient every 3-5 months. In this time period, regrown hair looks harmonious if the transition was made smoothly and with suitable shades.

Other positive aspects:

• Savings – no more than four coloring procedures will be needed per year.
• Hair comes into contact with dye less often and is less damaged.
• Ombre is a way to grow your natural hair color without completely dyeing it.

Ombre for dark short hair (photos for inspiration can be seen later in the article) is a way to “try on” blonde for those who do not suit light hair color type. For example, brown-eyed, dark-haired girls with dark skin. A radical blonde from the roots will look unnatural and inappropriate, while a smooth transition to light ends will soften the appearance.

The coloring looks as natural as possible. With a contrast of 1-2 tones, the effect of burnt hair is present.

Negative aspects

Ombre, like any coloring with lightening, harms both short and long hair. The extent of damage depends on its original condition and the quality of the paint - expensive professional products are more delicate. However, absolutely any dye destroys the hair structure.

Lightening occurs due to a chemical reaction, as a result of which the dark pigment is destroyed and washed away. In the photo of hairs taken under a microscope, you can see their structure deformed by the dye.

In most cases, ombre is a smooth transition from dark roots to light ends. It is the tips that bear the maximum load from the lightening agent. If they were initially dry and split, then after dyeing they may break off.

At what age does ombre look harmonious?

Ombre for dark short hair, photos of which are often published in fashion magazines, is a technique suitable for almost all women. At a young age, coloring will emphasize the health and thickness of hair.

In adulthood, you should be more careful. If your natural color is medium brown or lighter, then using ombre with highlights you can disguise gray hair. If the natural shade of the hair is below tone 7, then ombre will only emphasize gray hair.

How to choose suitable shades for dark hair?

When choosing a shade of paint, you should focus on the original hair color. In professional slang it is called a “base”.

Means:

• natural hair color;
• actual hair color;
• percentage of gray hair;
• was it dyed with henna?
• whether the previous paint was washed off.

For example, after bleaching, natural light brown hair will have a tint with a red undertone. Dyed blond hair can go “green” – a grey-swamp shade. Gray or wash-treated strands have a changed, more porous structure, and the paint will adhere to them differently. And on henna the dye may not work at all.

When buying paint yourself, it is recommended to consult with the seller - employees of professional product stores are trained by the manufacturer's brands.

The photo shows options for ombre dyeing for dark short hair.

Mass market paints are sold as a set: coloring cream, oxide and gloves. Professional products must be purchased separately. Paints with a brightening effect start from 8 tones. The maximum tone level is 12. The paint number consists of two or three numbers. The first is the tone depth from 1 to 12. This number indicates how dark the color will be. The second is color nuance.

This encoding is used to indicate the undertone of a hue:

• 0 – natural, neutral.
• 1 – ashy, with a blue/purple tint.
• 2 – green.
• 3 – yellow.
• 4 – copper.
• 5 – red.
• 6 – purple.
• 7 – red-brown.

Sometimes the number has a third digit - an additional shade is hidden behind it. It has the same decoding as the second digit. Oxides come in 3, 6, 9 and 12%. The higher the percentage, the more the paint oxidizes and lightens. For coloring 2-3 shades lighter, use 9% oxide. At 3-5 tones – the most aggressive, 12%.

Which paints are better? Manufacturers, shade numbers and prices

There are 2 main segments of hair dyes:

• Mass market- inexpensive paints for home use, sold in supermarkets and household chemical stores.
• Professional– for use in salons.

Some brands cannot be purchased at retail - they can only be purchased by beauty salon specialists.

Mass market brands offer ready-made kits for ombre dyeing. They include standard paint and oxide and a special comb. The Wild Ombres series from L'oreal Paris includes 5 shades of different depths. In 2019, the product costs 550 rubles.

Other popular lightening colors suitable for ombre:

• Garnier Color Naturals.
• L'oreal Cream Gloss.
• Schwarzkopf Palette.
• Syoss.

Price: from 120 to 350 rubles.

Quality semi-professional brands include:

• Estel.
• Ollin.
• Kapous.
• Concept.
• Nexxt.

The cost of paint (70 ml) and oxide is from 200 to 500 rubles.

Professional brands:

• Wella.
• L'oreal professional.
• Indola.
• C:EHKO.

Price: from 750 rub.

For dark and medium brown hair, dyes 8.0, 9.0 and oxide 9% are suitable. This is a universal option for lightening 2-3 tones (to blonde). Ombre for dark short hair, photos of which can often be seen in magazines and catalogs of coloring products, can be done using dyes No. 9.0 and 10.0 and oxide 12%. This way you can achieve a transition from chestnut to blonde.

This is an aggressive coloring that can damage your hair. For a more gentle effect, you will need shade 9.0 and 9% oxide. The chemical process of lightening dark hair most often occurs through red and yellow pigments, so paints with cold undertones N.1 are useless - additional coloring with tinting paint will be required.

Necessary equipment

For the procedure you will need:

• container made of glass, ceramics or plastic (metal oxidizes paint);
• coloring cream and oxide;
• gloves;
• atomizer (liquid sprayer);
• comb;
• plastic or rubber clips;
• comb;
• brush for ombre technique.

Additionally, you can prepare a rich cream to protect the skin from dye and a stabilizer balm that stops chemical reactions in the hair.

Precautions

It is forbidden to leave lightening dye on your hair for more than 50 minutes. If the resulting shade is not light enough, then the coloring composition was chosen incorrectly. Increasing the exposure time will not correct the situation, but will only burn the hair.

Hair preparation

As before regular dyeing, it is recommended not to wash your hair for 1-2 days before ombre. Sebum secreted on the surface of the head envelops the hair and protects it from the aggressive effects of dye.

Preparing paints

The paints are mixed in a shallow container immediately before application. Gradually the mixture will begin to change color - this means that a chemical reaction has begun. The more the color of the paint in the bowl changes, the worse the pigment will appear on the hair.

Step-by-step ombre dyeing for short dark hair

Universal ombre technique step by step:

• First, lightly moisten your hair with a spray bottle.
• Next you need to make a straight central parting.
• Afterwards, you need to divide your hair into 4 sections: on each side of the head there should be 2 side ponytails, tied at jaw level.
• Mix the paint according to the instructions in the instructions.
• Apply paint to each ponytail with a brush, without going beyond the boundaries of the elastic band or clip. First on those that are closer to the face. Then - closer to the back of the head.
• Wrap each tail in foil.
• Leave the paint for 25-35 minutes.
• Remove the sheets and rinse your hair thoroughly with water.

• You need to repeat steps 4, 5, 6. This time the composition needs to be applied 2-5 cm above the elastic bands.
• Leave the paint on for 10 minutes.
• Wash off the paint.
• Apply the remaining paint to 3-5 cm of the ends, leave for another 10 minutes, and then rinse.
• If desired, you can apply a stabilizing balm.
• Next, you will need to apply a restorative mask for 10 minutes.
• At the end of the procedure, you need to rinse the product with water and dry your hair.

Hair coloring with bangs

The bangs are affected only with the balayage technique. In this case, only its outer strands are lightened - those at the temples. They must be selected using a special hairdressing hook in a checkerboard pattern. Dyeing the bangs is the last step, taking 10 minutes to remove the dye from the rest of the hair. It is recommended to mix dye for bangs separately.

Ombre for dark brown hair

Natural dark blonde color is best suited for ombre. It's dark enough to show a gradient, but light enough that it doesn't turn out to be green or red. Both silver and gold highlights look equally good on it.

Hair dyed dark brown is best bleached in a salon. Unlike chestnut shades, when lightened, artificial blond can appear “green.” It is masked only by painting it in a darker tone.

Color staining

The specificity of colored ombre is the use of several dyes. The first is lightening, preparing a light base. The second is toning. The lighter the base, the “purer” the color.

With dark hair, emerald, ruby, purple, pink, and blue colors look impressive. It is recommended to tint your hair the next day after lightening.

Ash ombre

Ash ombre suits dark and dark brown hair. For this effect, you need to lighten the base to 9-10 tones. Next, it needs to be tinted with paint with the addition of a direct-acting pigment - a concentrated coloring agent. Ready-made gray paint is also suitable - this can be found in the same lines as non-standard colors (green, pink, and so on).

Sombre

Sombre is a softer variation of ombre. The latter technique allows for great contrasts of tones - up to the transition from black to platinum blonde. With “sombre” the difference between is no more than two tones.

The sombre technique is performed similarly to the classic ombre. The difference is in the dye. You will need paint 1-2 colors lighter than the base.

Ombre with a clear border

It is performed in the same way as a regular ombre, but with a greater deviation from the roots - 15-20 cm. The gradient does not stretch over the entire length of the hair, but by 5-7 cm. The remaining length is plain.

Contour ombre

Performed along the hair section. Most often it is a semicircle or wedge. Particular attention is paid to the strands around the face. Professionals call this ombre “contouring” - the contrast of dark and light strands emphasizes the multi-layered nature of the haircut.

Ombre super natural

“Super Natural” does not apply to coloring techniques - it is a color solution. It is characterized by a slight contrast between the roots and ends, as well as slight golden highlights. Most often performed on medium brown hair. At its core, “Super Natural” is a mixture of the “Sombre” and “Babylight” techniques.

Ombre Babylights

Babylights are also called surfer girl dyeing. The style is similar to the “Shatush” technique, but “babylights” are characterized by high-contrast light golden highlights. The result of dyeing is hair that looks like it has been bleached by the sun.

You can repeat it at home using a hairdresser's hook. At the initial stages, the paint is distributed using the ombre technique. Then, on the unpainted part, using a hook, thin strands are randomly selected and also covered with dye. Next, painting and washing off the paint occurs according to the classical scheme.

Burgundy ombre

A spectacular option in wine tones. Most suitable for girls with black hair. Like most color dyes, burgundy requires a lightened base - at least 4 shades lighter than the roots. First, dyeing is done using the classic ombre technique, and then the hair is tinted with wine-colored dye.

The name must contain the words “wine”, “burgundy”, “Bordeaux”, “Marsala” or “swallowtail”. In a professional palette, such paint most often has a tone depth of 4 or 5 and a subtone of 5 or 6.

Decoding of paint numbers:

Caramel coloring

To paint in caramel tones, you will need a “warm” shade of paint. These are levels 7 and 8 with a pronounced reddish undertone. If the “base” is not painted and has a dark or medium brown color, 7.4 or 8.4 paint and 9% oxide are sufficient. If the base is dark or colored, you will need to pre-lighten with 12% oxide and then tint.

Fiery red-red ombre

Red ombre looks especially good on black and dark brown hair. Rich scarlet paint should be applied to a lightened ombre blonde - then the coloring will be “clean”. You can find ready-made paint (most often - tone 5.5; 5.6), or purchase mixton (direct pigment) and mix it with a red dye.

What to do if the result does not meet expectations?

The result not meeting expectations is a common outcome of dyeing at home. In some cases, you can tame an unsuccessful shade with the help of small tricks, in others only radical repainting or washing will help.

You can use tint balms and shampoos to correct minor flaws in the shade:

• remove excess yellowness;
• add golden highlights;
• increase the saturation of red and wine tones.

If “green” appears on your hair, there is a chance to neutralize the chemical reaction with home remedies. For example, make a mask from tomato paste or aspirin solution. Acids neutralize the green tint - the hair will become golden.

Features of caring for colored strands

Lightening is an aggressive procedure. Hair with pigment removed becomes more porous - voids appear in the hair shaft, and the scales become “fluffy”. In order for colored strands to retain their attractive appearance for as long as possible, daily care will be required. Required Products:

Mild shampoo

It cleanses your hair more gently and does not dry it out. The product is suitable for normal to dry scalp. For oily types, shampoo will not cope with dirt. A variation of the mild shampoo is a product without SLS. Such products use soft, delicate surfactants.

Nourishing mask

With regular use, it fills the hair shaft and smoothes the scales. As a result, hair becomes thicker, smoother and shinier.

The mask should contain:

• hydrolyzed oils;
• lipid complex;
• keratin;
• collagen;
• proteins.

The mask can be used as a balm - apply for 2-5 minutes, or leave for half an hour under a shower cap.

The most important step is applying leave-in care. These are serums, fluids, creams, sprays and oils that are applied before styling your hair. Light liquid textures provide hydration, while dense and oily textures provide protection from heat and mechanical damage.

Professional oils always contain silicones - they create a film on the surface of the hair, which smoothes out the scales and prevents moisture from evaporating. Also, silicone oils visually “glue” split ends together, creating an even, tight cut.

If color toning is done over the ombre, you should get special shampoos and masks that preserve the coloring pigment. It is not recommended to apply natural vegetable oils - they are good solvents and easily remove dye from the hair.

How long does ombre last?

Ombre with lightening is not washed off - it is cut off with scissors. Only tinting can be washed off - an additional pigment that gives a silver, golden, red or purple tint. Colorists recommend updating the bright color tone every 1-2 months. You can maintain the shade using tinting shampoos and balms.

Ombre gained its popularity due to its natural look and visual increase in hair thickness. Highlights on dark hair highlight the layers of both short and long haircuts. Ombre coloring looks good in person and in photos, even if the roots have grown significantly.

Cold ombre for short hair:

Have you been dreaming of changing your look and updating your hairstyle? Is going to the salon an expensive pleasure for you? Then dyeing your hair using the ombre technique is a great opportunity to add freshness, originality and brightness to your look. And although the painting process is not an easy task, it is quite possible to do it yourself.

1. Lightening only the lower part.
2. Apply the clarifier close to the roots (retreat 5-10 cm).

If your hair is dark with a clear color transition, it is not recommended to put it in a ponytail.

Monochrome

This is the use of two contrasting shades. A natural shade is used on the roots and light on the ends. Girls with long and medium hair of dark, light brown and light shades can use this dyeing method. For a monochrome ombre, the ends will have to be completely lightened. It is chosen by brave ladies who are not afraid to attract attention.

Contrasting strands

This ombre method is very similar to one, which is performed only at the bottom of the haircut. Suitable for hair of different lengths: dark, light and light brown. With this type of dyeing, the dye has minimal effect on the strands. Ideal for girls with a little

Colored

This is a unique ombre technique that goes well with any hair length, suitable for blondes, brunettes and redheads. Used as the main shade bright contrasting colors:

• green;
• emerald;

This type of dyeing looks most stylish on girls with deep natural hair color: black, chestnut, dark blond, light blond, red. Most often, the younger generation chooses colored ombre.

Flames

This technology looks great on girls with “autumn” and “winter” color types. I use all shades of red and red as accent colors. The colored strands are concentrated in a chaotic manner.

They imitate the "fire dance". Women with any hair color can try ombre, and their length should not be above the shoulders.

Glare

This coloring option is chosen by girls who prefer naturalness. Glare ombre is devoid of bright color shades, but allows you to create the effect of glare on the curls. The transition of shades from the roots to the tips is practically invisible, because during the painting process they choose shades of paint that are as close to the natural tone as possible. Glare ombre gives light brown, dark and more depth and visual volume.

Dyeing bangs

This is also an ombre option, which girls use to highlight any hair color and length. In the process of painting some strands, painting them in these colors:

• beige;
• pink;
• violet;
• black;
• chocolate.

ponytail

This technique can only be used if the hair is long enough. Ombre received this name because when assembled it creates the effect that the strands fade in the sun. Perfect for red, light brown, light and dark colored curls.

Edgy ombre

It differs from the classic one in that the transitions are clear and sharp. This allows you to highlight the brightness of the main color. But for this type of dyeing, the hair must be perfectly straight.

Henna ombre at home

For the ombre procedure, you can use a natural and safe dye - henna. But for this you will have to prepare 3 different compositions.

The first mixture is prepared to be applied to the roots and up to the temples. Required components:

• basma – 2 tbsp;
• henna – 4 tbsp;
• – 0.5 tbsp;
• lavender oil – 3 drops.

To dye the middle of your hair you need to prepare the following mixture:

• basma – 1 tbsp;
• henna - 3-4 tbsp;
• burdock oil – 0.5 tbsp;
• jojoba oil – 1 drop;
• lavender oil – 2 drops.

To paint the ends, the mixture should consist of

The unique ombre coloring method is popular not only among sultry brunettes, but also blondes are resorting to it more and more often. There are several reasons here: to be on trend, to make the blonde as natural as possible or, on the contrary, to play with color variations, and, of course, to solve the painful blonde problem - overgrown roots. Great fashion wave! So, what is so special about ombre coloring for blondes?

Ombre for blondes: either lighten or darken

If you see a girl with clearly defined grown-out roots, don’t rush to mentally send her to a stylist; perhaps she is a style icon, and ombre is a reflection of her individuality. Jokes aside, the effect of darkening the roots or lightening the ends of already light hair is at the peak of popularity!

Moreover, you can create the ombre effect with your own hands at home! So why not take advantage of this opportunity, especially if Mother Nature has rewarded you with natural blonde, and get, for example, such a stunning result as in the photo!

To achieve a soft blonde gradient, you need a motive for change and one more thing:

1. Powder and oxidizing agent, and the oxidizing agent is no more than 3% - it is better to overexpose it than to “kill” your hair with an oxidizing agent with a large percentage.
2. Arm yourself with a brush, a covering for your neck and clothes, gloves and get to work.
3. Thoroughly mix the oxidizing agent and powder in a plastic or glass container. Divide the hair in half, then draw an “invisible” line horizontally above the ear and pull back the top strands and back hair.
4. We begin staining using one of the following methods:

• we braid the braids up to the level of the chin, and then dye the strands;
• we backcomb each strand and lighten it;
• we adjust the uniform transition using hair elastic bands - we tie the ponytails at the desired level.

1. By the way, let's return to the photo: if you need to achieve exactly this result, a “wave” ombre is proposed here, that is, lightening not only the ends of the hair, but also the front strands almost the entire length and bangs. This is the peak of the wave, and then the level of lightening gradually decreases, touching the ends of the hair literally 3-4 cm from the back.
2. For best effect, keep the paint at least 25 minutes, and then look at the situation - how light you would like the ends of your hair to be.
3. Rinse off all the beauty, not forgetting about the balm and nourishing hair oil and admire the result!

Variations for blondes: the best of the best

Blondes undoubtedly attract glances with their brightness and light. But they also want change! Ombre for blondes is an undoubted trend, but lightening is one thing, and transitioning to more saturated shades is not an easy task.

Honey chic – sweet stories

Cold blondes, of course, hold the bar for a long time, but warm shades are also firmly entrenched in the hearts of girls and the opposite sex. The photo shows the moment when you can't take your eyes off.

And there are undeniable advantages:

1. The honey shade does not need to be tinted, get rid of yellowness and other eternal companions of cold blondes.
2. When dyeing at home, possible flaws will be less noticeable, which is more difficult to hide on bleached hair.
3. Honey shades also have an advantage over cold shades in creating naturally “woven” curls into the hair in the ombre style - a glare ombre, to create an ultra-fashionable look.
4. You can play with color by choosing a light red shade, as in the photo, for ombre, or feel a little brunette and take the contrasting chocolate color shown in the photo below.
5. And lastly, no matter what you come up with, a soft sweet color with ombre will in any case look a la naturel compared to a cool blonde color.

Color revolution - or whatever the blonde enjoys

Well, girls want to be bright and expressive, that’s nature – you can’t argue with it! And why? A woman is changeable, and rightly so, you need to change styles, look for yourself, transform yourself! So the trend of the season spontaneously appeared - color ombre.

Ombre color is most relevant for blond hair, because this effect primarily implies brightness, and brunettes and brown-haired women can achieve it only by lightening the ends of their own hair.

The application technique, despite its apparent complexity, is also optimal for home use:

1. Let's prepare all the available means for coloring, but instead of paint, we often use a budget, but no less “working” option - “Tonic”, plus we take hair balm.
2. Mixing the toner with balm: firstly, so that the hair does not dry out; secondly, we will increase the density of the tinting agent and obtain ease of application.
3. If you want a mono-ombre effect, take one color; if multi, take two or three colors that are close in iridescence and arrange them in the right order. At the same time, it is best to check before coloring the entire hair on a separate back strand how the selected color palette “plays”.
4. Let's start dyeing: in this case, it is enough to divide the hair into front and back curls, or even just along the central parting, since this is an option for express dyeing.
5. If you have multi-ombre: we don’t do many stages, like with paint. Take one color and apply it to part of the hair in the chin area or below (depending on the length of the hair and how many color transitions will be made), followed by the second and third. After testing on a strand, you will already see what distance is best to use and what color.
6. If mono ombre: Apply the toning agent from the chin area to the very ends and carefully distribute it through the hair. In this case, you don’t need to make a clear transition: if you don’t want to braid or backcomb, just make an uneven transition by highlighting some strands a little higher or leave your blonde on top, and make color variations with the inside of the hair (as in the photo above), then possible mistakes will become impossible.
7. Wait some time (sometimes it’s enough and 20 minutes) and wash off the dye, be sure to use hair balm and oil for the ends - the toning agent dries out the hair. Therefore, it would be a good idea to make nourishing masks after coloring to restore the structure and shine of your hair.

Ombre for short hair – fashionable haircut and trendy coloring

It's no secret that ultra-short haircuts are now regaining their former popularity and gaining momentum among stars and TV personalities. And who, no matter how they force us to move and try on extravagant images for ourselves?

Coloring haircuts “like a boy” presupposes the presence sponges and two paints. We paint the roots dark, and use light or colored magic to lighten the ends or give them a rainbow tint.

Suitable for longer haircuts foil for ends, and after wrapping all the “candy wrappers,” you can “touch up” the roots with darker paint. And voila! The breathtaking ombre effect is obvious.

Don’t be afraid to change, look for something fresh and better, keep up with the times - this is your life and your fantasy, so turn it on to the fullest and move forward!
