What is remarkable about hair coloring using the ombra technique?
Ombre has become popular due to some factors that give it an advantage over other types of staining. It does not harm the entire length of the hair, because the paint is applied only on the lower part.
Due to this, it is possible to control the condition of the hair, and their restoration haircut will not force to cut off a great length. It will be enough to refresh the haircut, getting rid of over dried ends.
Of course, also, the ombre technique has a number of pleasant visual effects that suit almost all types of faces. Bright ends make the hair look more fresh, light and can work as a rejuvenating effect.
At the same time, the bright ends are suitable for those who want to emphasize light skin, and tanned beauties. In the first case, blond hair will work on the principle of similarity, making the skin color even lighter.
In the second, it will be a game of contrasts, when on the background of bleached hair, tanned skin has a more saturated color, brightly protruding on a light background.
In addition, staining with this technique is suitable for all types. Regardless of the structure and severity, the ombra looks unusually and beautifully, refreshing the hairstyle, being quite a clear change in appearance.
Ombre is a type of dye that looks natural on any color. On the hair creates the effect of loss of light due to exposure to hot sun.
The hairs burned in the sun themselves look untidy, but when this effect is created by the master in the salon, it becomes an obvious chip that creates a summer mood, recalling the hot sun.
Features of selection of paint color
Ombre is most commonly associated with light roots in women, which are characteristic of girls with dark hair. However, this is not the only option for staining the ends.
To choose a shade, first think about what exactly you want to achieve with this effect. Evaluate your own shade, which should be in harmony with the resulting color.
Most often, women use natural shades for coloring, preferring lighter shades relative to their natural color. Usually, a golden blond or colder blond tones are selected for this. But it is worth noting that this is not the only staining option that you can choose.
Many young girls, especially owners of blond hair, use pastel unnatural colors to emphasize their appearance. So often you can find light blue or pink ends on the hair, which is also done by a well-known technique.
Brunettes can choose unnatural colors of more audacious shades, such as red, blue, and violet. Girls with red hair are more limited in this regard, but they have access to all shades of red, emphasizing the flame on the head.
Also, it is the red-haired girls who will go to the ombra in dark colors, however, it is not necessary to move away from the native color by more than two or three tones.
Ombre short hair coloring options
Despite the fact that in 2012, the light ends made only owners of long hair, over time, this technique migrated to shorter haircuts. Now the trend is to tint haircuts above the shoulders, because this type of coloring makes the hair easier and more airy.
However, this is not the only option for staining. Sometimes use many similar shades to achieve a more natural look, and many others. The choice of coloring depends on the effect that the girl wants to achieve.
Ombre on dark short hair
Dark and short hair, decorated with this type of painting, become very playful in appearance, creating the image of a cheerful girl, a hooligan. This is a very beautiful type of staining.
For dark hair, it is usual to use standard two-color dyeing, when the ends are made a few shades lighter. If a girl is a typical brunette (dark hair, dark eyebrows, brown eyes and dark eyelashes), then the contour made on her face will refresh her face, emphasize his features and make the image easier.
More daring girls can add unnatural colors, thereby attracting even more attention to their hair.
Ombre performance technology
