Ombre on a square: features, types, tips for choosing a shade

Many women prefer a haircut such as a square, which is embodied in various forms and is suitable for almost all ages. A good solution and a modern trend is to combine a similar hairstyle with such an interesting type of coloring as ombre. However, before choosing the right option for combining haircuts and dyeing, it is recommended that you carefully read the types of ombre, as well as some features and variations of the caret. All these nuances will be presented in detail in this article.

The technique of dyeing ombre as such involves lightening the strands in a special way, so that the color shades smoothly transition from the dark area at the roots to the lighter along the rest of the hair. It is such a painting that gives the image a combination of harmony and contrast at the same time. But the peculiarity of the overall ombre pattern largely depends on the initial hair length. Ombre on a square will be created taking into account some features.

• The decisive role in choosing such a hairstyle is played by the shape of the face. Not all ladies with short hair have an oval face that allows the presence of an ombre, because it itself visually changes the shape of the skull.Chubby girls are better off avoiding blond hair at the ends, because they accentuate the cheeks even more, while holders of a triangular-shaped ombre will give softer features.
• Of great importance is the type of the square and its length. On the shortest options, the beginning of the color transition should be located in the ear zone, while on longer hair below the chin line, the color change begins in the area of ​​its line.

If you want to experiment with the creation of such a hairstyle, then you need to familiarize yourself in advance not only with its advantages, but also with the negative nuances. The advantages of this option for cutting and coloring include the following characteristics.

• A huge number of different ombre options, each of which will emphasize the individuality of the lady. And also such a wide selection of dyeing techniques allows you to choose the most harmonious option specifically for your hair length.
• Another important plus is the ability to choose different shades. Among the modern palette of colors you can find both pastel or classic tones, and extravagant color analogues, which can be experimented with on fair hair more than once.
• A huge advantage of ombre is the lack of the need to tint regrown roots monthly. With such a hairstyle, you can go several months without worrying about the fact that she can lose her presentable appearance.
• Using a similar staining technique, you can visually increase the density and volume of hair.

Among the negative characteristics of such a technique, the following nuances are worth noting.

• If you need to maintain a certain length of caret all the time, you will often need to “refresh” the image. And lightening, in turn, does not have the best effect on the condition of the hair.
• The staining procedure of this type is almost impossible to carry out independently, so you need to visit the salon, which can sometimes be expensive.
• If you prefer to add additional colors to your image, especially bright ones, be prepared for the fact that most of them will be washed with every washing of the head, and after about a month you will have to go to the salon again.
• Creating such a hairstyle is quite time consuming. The procedure lasts about three hours and even longer depending on the complexity of staining.

Among the variety of ombre, there are options that are in great demand among the fair sex and look relevant at different ages.

A similar variant of ombre is embodied on a square in such a way that the upper zone of the hair is darker than the lower by at least three shades. The lightest of them will be at the tips of the strands, but to create a smooth transition, a third shade is also necessary, applied by the hairdresser to the border of the two main ones. The darkest tone used near the roots is dark blond, and at the ends of the square it turns into a natural blonde.

The above option can also be presented in a more saturated embodiment - using multiple tones. The use of natural colors such as beige, brown, light brown is popular. Color staining here can be represented as a mix of a dark base, pink and purple strands. And also often a dark color passes through a dark blue tone into a turquoise.

This kind of ombre looks very specific on a square.In its implementation, it is extremely important to choose the right shades. The light part of the hair, which will be located in the upper part of the head, should be painted in ashen blond.

Separate attention deserves an ombre of saturated red color, which will really look spectacular on owners of dark strands. On top, the roots have a deep dark shade, which turns into scarlet or red. In the process of creating a similar hairstyle, as in the case of multitonal and two-tone ombre, the colored parts are pre-clarified.

A feature of such dyeing, which looks especially impressive on the haircuts, is the highlighting of the strands not along the longitudinal line, but along the transverse. With such a hairstyle, you can easily change the image by experimenting with a parting.

This ombre implies highlighting not only the ends of the strands, but also the entire length of the curls that frame the face. In this case, parting is crucial, because it is based on its location that the hairdresser determines which strands should be painted more.

This technique suggests another contrast option. Here it is quite sharp, because it is based on the complete discoloration of the lower sections of the square and their subsequent coloring in saturated colors.

The basis of such a color scheme of the caret is laid out by the highlighting technique carried out at the first stage of staining. It allows you to emphasize the natural tone of the strands, organically diluting it with light shades. Further, additional clarification is done in the area of ​​the tips.

A great option for those who are not ready to radically change the image. Such an ombre involves staining several strands or one part of the head, depending on the shape of the haircut and face.

Such an ombre is otherwise called monochrome. It is perfect for those ladies who wear an elongated caret and want to combine bright contrast in it. This option involves a sharp border between black and ash blond. It is not suitable for all types of appearance, but with proper selection it will make your image truly extraordinary.

For each girl who decides on a combination of ombre and square, it is important not only to choose the right haircut, but also a combination of shades that make up the overall ensemble. For the most successful choice, every lady should be based on a number of criteria and features of her appearance. And also the selected haircut and color type play an important role.

The first criterion is hair color. According to this feature, a classification of options is constructed.

• For those who are based on a natural blond shade, natural blond, beige and cream shades, ivory color can be used as an element of a color combination. It is also possible to add golden or chocolate tones to the ombre, depending on the complexity of the coloring.

• For brunettes, as an classic version, an ombre in which the base dark will turn into caramel is perfect. Black hair can also be combined with ashen as a more extravagant option.

• The greatest difficulty is the selection of a suitable color for the ombre to the owners of red hair. Depending on the initial hue, the color can turn into more saturated red, as well as copper or even sea buckthorn.

• It is most convenient for natural blondes to experiment precisely with a color palette, since any bright color will fall on their color without the need for additional highlighting.At the same time, blondes can also make the transition to darker strands, but this option is not suitable for every haircut.

To choose the most relevant type of ombre for a particular haircut, you need to consider the options for the caret in more detail.

• If you decide to make an elongated square with a straight or oblique bangs, you need to make sure that the locks of the bangs are also colored. This is necessary if the bang line is below the color transition line. In the case of oblique bangs, only the longest part can be painted.

• If you prefer a short brown bean, then ombre will allow you to create additional volume. Due to the fact that the strands at the roots do not lighten, but are already discolored a little lower, the hair structure also changes to a more rigid one, which allows you to turn thin hair into more fluffy and voluminous.

• If you select a square with elongation of the front strands, which sometimes extend to the shoulders, you can highlight only the front elongated areas or change the color of the strands framing the face, as well as several sections throughout the hair.

• Ombre using a gray tone in the transition between dark and light areas will look actual on medium-length hair, just above the shoulders.

• Fans of an asymmetric square should carefully consider such a procedure as painting using the ambre technique, since in this case it is necessary to determine specific strands that will most advantageously show an interesting form of hairstyle. Therefore, it is recommended to use the services of professional hairdressers.

When you have already decided on the type of caret, you should also think about the compatibility of ombre colors with your color type.

• Girls of the spring color type with light eyes, as well as fair skin and hair are recommended to choose an ombre that combines only warm shades.

• But the cool colors will look great on girls belonging to the summer type. They are characterized by light eyes of green or cold blue shades, a pink tint of the skin, as well as light or dark curls of a cold tone.

• For owners of dark skin, brown or gray eyes, as well as brown, red or brown hair with warm shades, the recommendation for the autumn color type is suitable - use not only natural warm tones in the ombre, but even red, rich red or golden.

• For girls with very fair skin and rich eye color, contrasting staining techniques, including reverse ombre, are perfect.

It is quite difficult to implement the ombre technique at home, but you can still do it yourself. To do this, you must strictly adhere to the correct algorithm of actions.

• The first stage of clarification begins with the separation of hair with a parting in two parts. Then these parts are divided into even smaller strands. Their amount is determined by the desired thickness and thickness of the hair. Each strand should be secured with a special hairpin.
• Comb your hair on the line where the colors will separate. This line is horizontal.
• Apply clarifier to the main mass of curls, so that the composition lies evenly.
• To brighten the hair, it must be left for some time, depending on the desired shade. After about 15 minutes, it is recommended to wash off one strand and check whether the desired color is obtained. If not, keep the product on your hair longer.
• Rinse the hair thoroughly with shampoo and dry.
• At the dyeing stage, you need to divide the entire mass of hair into small locks, prepare the paint in advance according to the instructions and evenly apply it to the highlighted areas.
• As in the previous step, it is recommended that after 15 minutes to check how the color with the hair has seized. After reaching the desired shade, rinse off the paint without the use of shampoos and balms.

There are many ready-made examples of the embodiment of ombre on hair cut under a caret. Each of the following examples can be taken as a basis for your own experiment:

• the classic color version looks actual on a bob haircut;

• the transition from light brown to light will be appropriate on a longer haircut above the shoulders;

• even without severe darkening of the hair at the roots, you can create a magnificent pastel transition;
