L'Oréal Colorista Effect Ombre Hair, Brunette

Product Information

Ombré hair is a statement. It’s a gorgeous, two-toned dramatic effect that is similar in look to dipped ends. With ombre, the lower section of hair is lightened which gives a more horizontal, band-like effect.

You should apply the mixture to dry, unwashed hair. Divide your hair into sections using the ‘hot-cross bun’ technique.

But what if you’re not ready to go maximum vibrancy just yet? If this sounds like you, it could be time to dip your toe (or, more accurately, your hair strands) into the great, wild world of dip dye. To begin, style yourself in an old t-shirt that you don’t mind getting dirty – don’t risk your favourite outfit! Also make sure you have gloves close by (Hint: they’re usually included with your at-home dye kit of choice). You may also want a few extra plastic carrier bags around to protect your surrounding. You can use them to line the sink or, if you really want to get creative, feel free to wear one like a bib so dye doesn’t touch your clothes, and you don’t need to find an old towel you don’t mind ruining. If you’re going to use hot tools, always prime with a heat protectant like the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Weightless Blow Dry Primer, Heat Protectant or L’Oréal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Frizz Killer Serum Leave-In. Another good tip is to use your blow dryer, curling iron or flat iron on the lowest temperature setting and only pass through each section of hair once. id": "https://www.lorealparisusa.com/beauty-magazine/hair-color/hair-color-tutorials/brown-hair-ombre", A sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner like the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Color Care Bond Strengthening Shampoo and the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Bond Strengthening Conditioner are essential for preserving your colored strands.

If you find the color too bright or brassy, you can use a purple toner to dull it down. Watch and learn: DIY – How to ombre your hair at home. In the mood for a little DIY project?

You can make fine adjustments as you go along that better suit how you want your ombré effect to look like! In general, ombré hair is more suitable for longer hair as this helps to to minimise the root re-growth look, however you can still achieve a gorgeous ombré look with shorter hair if you don’t get too carried away with applying the dye, and just focus on the ends. As your hair grows, you can gradually move the colour transition further up the hair.

A little hair history if you will. I haven’t bleached my hair since March but have applied a permanent colour since then (Which I removed last week – review here on the Revolution Pro Colour Remover, Review here). I’ve been left with almost my natural hair colour, just a little warmer. Traditional ombré is a dark-to-light effect, where colours gradually merge from one shade to the next. Darker hair is at the root, gradually getting lighter from the middle to the ends. While you won’t need to get your hair touched up as often when you’re sporting ombré hair color, you will need to maintain regular haircuts every eight to ten weeks. As we mentioned, ombré hair requires bleach which can make your strands more susceptible to hair breakage and split ends.

The third ombré effect is a dip-dye effect, which is achieved using bolder, less conventional shades such as reds or pastels. For example, our Colorista Paint Cherry Red Permanent Hair Dyecreates a gorgeous, intense red ombré that’s perfect for autumn. Leave on to develop between 25 to 45 minutes depending on your desired ombré intensity. To see if light enough, clean a small piece of hair using gloved fingers after 25 minutes. If not light enough, spread mixture through again and continue to develop. Never exceed a total developing time of 45 minutes. To bleach your hair at home, head to the drugstore and grab the L’Oréal Paris Colorista Bleach in Ombré Bleach. This kit comes with everything you need to get ombré hair, including lightening cream, a precise applicator brush and gloves. It also allows you to customize your final look for subtle or bold ombré hair color depending on your preferences. Decide where you want your lighter hair to begin. Don’t have it too high up as it’ll look like bad highlights. Mid-length and lower is ideal. Ombré is as damaging as any other coloring process. And actually less damaging if you use your natural color as a base to begin with.

Wash it out and condition your hair with a really good nourishing conditioner. Step six: Dry and style! As the name suggests, instead of the traditional dark-to-light colouring, this ombré technique reverses it with lighter roots that gradually darken towards the ends of the hair. The finished effect will depend on your base colour, so applying a lighter shade, like honey blonde, to a darker brunette, like chestnut, won’t result in the dip dyed effect you’re going for.

Imagine the feathered ombré look, but with the gradient of colors flipped on its head. Instead of the light color gradually fading into the dark, a reverse ombre sees the darker shade fade into a lighter, brighter hue at the ends.
