In order to dye your hair, it is absolutely not necessary to go to expensive beauty salons and hairdressers. So fashionable today, the ombre effect at home is no worse than that of real professionals. You just need to follow a few simple rules. By the way, you don’t need any special equipment either. Therefore, everything is simple and as accessible as possible to everyone.
First you need to figure out what an ombre is. On red hair, you will do it, on chestnut or completely black - it doesn’t matter. Only the degree of clarification and the complexity of the procedure itself will differ. Ombre is a two-tone coloring of the strands. It implies darker roots and lighter ends of curls. In this case, the border of the transition from one shade to another should be smooth and blurry. How can you achieve this effect yourself?
So, you are interestedombre hair coloring. Photos in fashion magazines and the Internet convinced that this style is a real trend. Let's start by choosing the most suitable shade. In this case, it is worth sticking to the most natural colors. Honey, chocolate, wheat and chestnut shades are in fashion.
You will need the following kit for dyeing ombre hair at home:
- non-metal container (the paint will dilute in it);
- good clarifier (it is better to take products from a trusted company);
- food aluminum foil;
- application brush and comb.
Here, in fact, is the whole list of components that will help you transform right before your eyes. Carefully dilute the paint in a bowl, put on gloves and proceed to the procedure itself.
Gently separate one small section of hair. Scoop some paint with a brush and apply to the curl, starting from its middle. Move towards the ends. You should not follow a strictly even coloring border, since you need to achieve just the opposite effect - ombre. At home, such a procedure will take a little longer than in the cabin. Therefore, set aside a free evening for coloring in advance.
Once all the desired strands are colored, they must be carefully wrapped in foil and left for about 25 minutes (it all depends on your natural hair color).
Darker curls will lightenlonger. The exact time can be found in the table, which is sure to be found in the instructions for lightening paint. Once the time is up, the foil should be removed.
Now the highlight. This is what will allow you to get the ombre effect at home. Apply the remaining dye 3-5 centimeters above the level of already clarified hair. Now you need to wait about 10 minutes (no more). You can safely go to the bathroom and wash your hair thoroughly. There is one small touch left - the maximum possible lightening of the ends of the strands.
Apply the rest of the paint to the bottom of the hair (5-7 cm) and wait 10 minutes. Rinse your head thoroughly with shampoo and water again. Apply a special caring balm for bleached hair. The ombre effect is ready. You can do any styling.
