Features
Coloring a bright ombre with bangs is carried out by partial coloring and tinting of curls. With this option, it is better to choose a classic stain. Perhaps horizontal staining, but the bangs are partially clarified. When dyeing hair in the ombre style, they get a very interesting and unusual shade. Thanks to this method of coloring, it is possible to obtain a gradient between a dark shade at the roots and a light tone at the ends of the hair. This is a fairly versatile technique that allows you to use it on hair of different lengths, colors and on any haircut.
Ombre involves heterogeneous staining of strands with a transition, starting from a darker shade to a lighter one, or vice versa. The transition is usually well visible horizontally, while it should be at a small distance from the roots or at the bottom of the length. A feature of the technique is that this results in a blurry border of colors. When applied to long strands, it may seem that in the middle there is another color, although only a basic and light shade is used for staining. The clarified part of the head is stained with solid, because of this the tone comes out most saturated.
In this case, the transition is made soft with a change of 2-3 tones or, conversely, contrast, with the inclusion of up to 8 shades.
Ombre has the following advantages:
- thanks to this method of coloring, you can quickly put your hair in order, while before the next procedure you need to wait about 3 months;
- with proper staining, beautiful shades can be achieved;
- hair with this color is less exposed to the negative effects of chemicals.
The disadvantage of this procedure is that only fashionable women with healthy hair, without split ends, can afford it, otherwise the hairstyle will seem untidy. Excessive or unprofessional staining can cause severe damage to the hair, which is corrected by cutting. And also, if the coloring is incorrect, a pronounced border in the transition of shades will be visible, which will look less attractive.
