In order to dye your hair, it is absolutely not necessary to contact expensive beauty salons and hairdressers. The ombre effect so fashionable today at home is no worse than that of real professionals. It is enough to follow a few simple rules. By the way, you will not need any special equipment either. Therefore, everything is simple and maximally accessible to everyone.
First you need to figure out what exactly is an ombre. On red hair you will do it, on brown or completely black - it does not matter. Only the degree of clarification and the complexity of the procedure itself will differ. Ombre is a two-tone staining of strands. It implies darker roots and lighter ends of curls. In this case, the border of the transition of one shade to another should be smooth and blurry. How to achieve this effect yourself?
So, you are interested in dyeing ombre hair . Photos in fashion magazines and the Internet have convinced that this style is a real trend. Let's start by choosing the most suitable shade. In this case, you should adhere to the most natural colors. Honey, chocolate, wheat and chestnut shades are in fashion.
The following set for coloring ombre hair at home is useful to you:
- non-metallic capacity (paint will be diluted in it);
- good clarifier (it is better to take products from a trusted company);
- aluminum foil;
- brush for application, as well as a comb.
Here, in fact, the entire list of components that will help you transform literally before our eyes. Thoroughly dilute the paint in a bowl, put on gloves and proceed to the procedure itself.
Carefully peel off one small strand of hair. Scoop a little paint with a brush and apply on the curl, starting from its middle. Move towards the tips. It is not necessary to observe a strictly even border of coloring, since you need to achieve exactly the exact opposite effect - ombre. At home, this procedure will take a little longer than in the cabin. Therefore, pre-select a free evening for coloring.
As soon as all the necessary 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 lighten longer. The exact time can be found in the table, which will certainly be found in the instructions for brightening 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 cm above the level of already lightened hair. Now you need to wait about 10 minutes (no more). Feel free to go to the bathroom and wash your hair thoroughly. One small touch remained - the maximum possible lightening of the ends of the strands.
Put the rest of the paint on the bottom of the hair (5-7 cm) and wait about 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with shampoo again. Apply a special care balm for bleached hair. The ombre effect is ready. You can do any styling.
