What is Ombre Hair?
Much like the Balayage, Ombre hair colouring also originated in France. Ombre means ‘shaded’ to describe the hair colouring technique of a darker base that gradually lightens with the length of the hair. It became a very popular hair trend in the early 2010s, but it has been a hair technique used for decades.
What’s the Difference Between Ombre and Balayage?
Whereas the Ombre hair technique creates a gradual, seamless transition from colour to the next, Balayage is a highlighting technique that lightens the overall head of hair in sweeps of blonde or chosen colours.
Ombre hair is also often mistaken as ‘dip-dye’ colouring, which, while a similar concept to Ombre hair colouring, has no gradual bleeding of colours, but more of a stark contrast in tones.
How Do You Maintain Ombre Hair?
Everyday hair care routines that help maintain the colour of your hair involves staying away from products that will strip your hair of tits colour. We can recommend shampoos and styling products that protect the colour and enhance the shine of your hair.
As your hair grows, your hair colour isn’t much affected as it’s the tips that are lighter, so the lighter section of your hair will just become lower down your back. To maintain the colour, you can have it reapplied and have the colour feathered higher up the back, making it customisable for each person.
Ombre Hair Inspiration
Ombre is more well-known for its colour combinations of dark or medium brown to golden blond towards the tips. You can have Ombre in almost any shade or colour, though! Naturally darker hair can be blended into an ash blond or light brown shade, or even auburn. If you are already blonde, then you could get Ombre tips with platinum blonde. If you’re into bold colours, you can achieve the Ombre technique with any colour combinations you like! Go playful with pinks and purples, dark brown into orange or grey - the combinations are endless!
To style your new hair colour, loose curls or waves can add definition to your hair, appearing more natural as the blending of colours can get lost. Long hair or short hair can both look great with Ombre colouring, but longer hair can enhance the effect of the gradual blend of tones.
