Nowadays, the ombre hair dyeing technique is becoming more and more popular. It consists in a smooth transition of color, most often dark to light. We can say that to some extent the basis of this technology is the regrown roots of dyed hair, which were previously considered a sign of bad taste. Of course, the ombre looks different, giving its owner notes of style, uniqueness and courage.
A similar staining technique has many varieties, consisting in both colors and in the proportions that are observed when processing strands. Now we will discuss how the ombre looks on black hair, find out which shades are best combined with this color and in what proportions it is necessary to lighten curls.
First of all, it all depends on the length of the hair. If you are the owner of a short haircut, then you can lighten the tips on a conditional asymmetric line. In this case, the color transition should be negligible. That is, the tips can only be 2-3 tones lighter than the main hair. It’s good if you fix this effect with careless styling: black hair, as if burnt in the sun, besides with “torn” tips, is a stylish and bold image.
Ombre on medium length black hair can be varied. Firstly, you can simply lighten the lower part of the curls, and make the transition smooth and invisible. As a result, the bases will be resinous, and the tips, in comparison with them, quite light. It is worth noting that in this way there is no place for clear lines, so if you are not a master at the hairdresser and are not sure that you can properly dye your hair at home, contact the salon.
Making ombre on black hair that reaches the waist and even more is much easier. Also in this case a more contrasting transition is allowed, which is also imperceptible, however, when comparing the root and tip of the hair, the difference immediately catches the eye. Sometimes lightening reaches extremes: initially, blue-black locks acquire a light brown shade at the tips, which often falls into the category of “copper blond”.
In all three cases (short, medium and long curls), ombre on black hair can consist not only in brightening the ends, but also in dyeing them in a completely different color. The burgundy, raspberry, and mahogany shades will ideally combine with the original tone . Extreme lovers can choose a dark blue gamut, aquamarine, lilac and so on. In some cases, the tips are pre-clarified, however, if you want the transition to be invisible, a few staining procedures will suffice.
If you decide to experiment and dye at home, then you will need the “ombre on black hair” paint, which is sold complete with the right brush in cosmetic stores. Most often, the counters offer us natural tones that are slightly different from the original dark. However, you can find more exotic options, however, the price will be higher.
It is also worth noting that the coloring of ombre on black hair itself occurs from the tips to the base of the strands. In this case, the risk of a clear border is reduced, the paint is evenly distributed along the length of the curls, and as a result they look amazing.
