Ombre, examples of which are presented in the article in the photo, are several shades of coloring with a smooth or abrupt transition between them. The technique looks great with different haircuts, including bobs, on dark and light hair.

Pros and cons

Ombre staining has both positive and negative sides, it is not suitable for everyone.

Hairdressers consider the following factors and nuances to be the advantage of dyeing using the ombre technique:

• Fashionable. Gradients have been made for a long time, but their popularity is only growing.
• You can paint less often. If the hair is left in its natural color at the roots, it is convenient to let it grow back for a few months.
• The roots are not damaged. This means they stay healthy and grow well.
• Easier to fix. When in doubt, try lightening only the ends that are easy to cut.
• It's easier to decide. For those who have never painted, or are not sure about the shade.
• Hair looks thicker. Light highlights, highlights or ombre always create the effect of additional volume.

Minuses:

• The ends of the hair are damaged. Especially if they have already been painted several times.
• The transition and shade are more difficult to match. If you make a mistake, a sharp contrast, an inharmonious color will look unnatural.
• The staining is more difficult than usual. Requires an experienced technician, difficult to do at home.

Who is coloring in the ombre style

Ombre suits everyone. The main thing is to choose shades, transition, coloring technique, depending on the appearance, preferences, age and lifestyle of the woman. The color on the roots and tips must differ by at least 3 tones, otherwise the coloring effect will be invisible. Such a natural easy transition goes to everyone, including business, serious, mature women.

Stronger contrast or extreme shades are more likely to suit young girls or creative people. The most unusual ombre is obtained from a combination of 3 or more bright colors. Such staining is difficult to do on your own, for this it is safer to sign up with a master.

How to choose the color and style of coloring according to the shape of the face

Ombre for dark hair with a square (the photos later in the article demonstrate different types of coloring according to the shape of the face) it happens:

• with a gradual transition;
• with a sharp transition;
• balayazh, when individual strands are painted next to the roots, turning into a single color at the ends.

When choosing an ombre, the condition of a cold or warm color type of appearance must be observed. In addition to the natural shade of the hair, it is necessary to take into account the color of the eyes and skin, because the colored strands in the square will be near the face, and the mismatch will stand out.

Oval

This form is universal. Any types of haircuts, lengths, bangs, dyeing techniques are combined with an oval. The main rule is a combination of warm shades with warm ones and vice versa.

A circle

To mask the cheekbones, balayazh will do. The combination of dark and light strands along the length visually stretches the face.Also, for this you need to wear the longest square.

Triangle

The transition to a light tone should start from the cheekbones and below, since everything light will visually expand the narrow chin. The length of the hair for a triangular face should be to the chin or below.

Inverted triangle

For a wide, heavy lower face, choose lightening and maximum lengthening to hide the jaw.

Square

This face shape is combined with a square, elongated in front. You can make an ombre only on the front strands, or use balayage, visually lengthening the lower part of the face.

Rectangle

With a long, elongated face, the ombre should begin by stepping back slightly from the roots. So the light strands at the cheeks will expand and balance the shape. A classic square to the chin is suitable in length.

Choosing paint: the best brands, review, prices

The table lists popular paint brands suitable for home or professional use. All of them differ in affordable price, durability, saturation. However, paints that are sold in hairdressing stores, on average, take longer to wash out and give a more even color, which is important for independent use.

Home staining technique step by step

But it is worth trying only for those who already have some experience and have dyed their hair more than once. But even in this case, there is a risk of ruining a beautiful bob haircut with an unsuccessful painting, which will have to be urgently cut off or covered with a different color.

Therefore, in case of uncertainty in their abilities, it is easier and more reliable to contact a professional salon. An important question is whether to do an ombre on a freshly washed head or wait 1-2 days after washing. If you go to a hairdresser, the master will be able to assess the condition and structure of the hair, and apply special means suitable for this type of coloring.

At home, you need to read the instructions for the brightening agent, and find the manufacturer's instructions.

Previously, dyes damaged hair more, and it was recommended to dye it dirty so that there was a protective layer. Modern products are more gentle and contain caring components. In the ombre technique, you do not need to stain the roots, and the paint will not get on the skin. But if the ends of the hair are dry and thin, it is best to wait a while after washing for extra protection.

Step-by-step action plan:

1. Comb dry hair thoroughly with a comb so that the strands do not get tangled when dyeing.
2. Dilute the powder for clarification, following the instructions.
3. Lighten hair. There are two options for home use. If you make a simple transition from your shade to light, you can divide the mass of hair into equal parts and tie several tails with elastic bands at the level where you plan to lighten. The second option is suitable for an elongated square and gives a smooth transition effect. For him, you need to collect the tail in the center of the head at the top of the head, and make a bouffant at the base. Next, you need to apply the brightening mixture to the ends and distribute along the length. The exposure time is individual, depending on the original and desired color. It usually takes 15-30 minutes. After 13-15 minutes, you can check the hair by rinsing off a small area.
4. Wash hair with shampoo and conditioner for colored hair, dry.
5. Prepare paint according to the instructions.
6. Apply paint to lightened areas, leave for the required time.
7. Rinse off the coloring mixture and wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner.

The dyeing result depends on many factors - dye, experience, hair structure, exposure time, and more.

On an elongated square

Ombre for dark hair with a square, a photo of which is presented later in the article, can be done near the hair roots, or in the middle. The longer the length, the more possibilities.

On a square with elongated front strands

On such a haircut, it is difficult to make a smooth transition on your own; for this it is better to visit a hairdresser. Of the types of ombre, a smooth transition, balayazh, or the original version with coloring only the front strands is preferable.

On a square with bangs

On such a square, the transition to another shade must begin below the eye line. If you lighten the hair too high, the neighborhood of dark bangs and light strands will be too contrasting. Another option is to color the ends of the bangs flush with the rest of the length.

On a square without a bang

A more versatile hairstyle, you can choose an ombre for any hair length.

On a bob car

This haircut is similar to a bob with elongated front strands, but it has a high voluminous nape and a bare neck. Here you can also lighten only the front hair. The transition should be smooth.

On an asymmetrical square

Such a haircut is often chosen by young, creative, informal girls, so the same chaotic, torn, extreme ombre or balayage will suit them. You can, on the contrary, make a straight line of transition to the left and right, but for this it is advisable to go to the salon, it is difficult on your own.

On a short square

Here, the length limits the scope for the ombre, and it is more natural to start the transition near the roots, step back a little. If, on the contrary, an unusual image is needed, you can paint the ends or make an ombre from the middle of the head with a contrasting color.

On a curly square

Curly hair goes well with an ombre that starts above the eye line.
