Consider the different types of ombre, possible with a bob haircut.

• Classic. Everything is simple here - a combination of two shades, one of which is natural, is at the core. The classic ombre looks more organically in close to natural scales with a burnout effect.

• Two-tone creative. Ideal for elongation and creative natures. The tips of the strands look burning and catchy. As a rule, the following colors are chosen for this: honey, red, red, orange, gold, copper.

• Multitone vertical. It differs from a two-tone one by the multi-stage gradient of shades and the use of transition tones. This is a true smooth gradient transition that uses a rich color palette. Blue-black, mother-of-pearl beige, dark chocolate, golden wheat and others.

• Multitonal creativity. Here the breadth of the used palettes is even more and more diverse. It all depends on the age category, lifestyle, status and taste. The roots of blue, going to the violet in the middle and raspberries at the ends - luxurious catchy coloring. It is important here not to overdo it and observe a sense of proportion, as well as correctly choose shades.

• Monochrome. This is a black and white coloring, laconic, restrained, but luxurious. This ombre has been in trend for more than one season, it includes a combination of platinum and black. Monochrome is good both in a smooth gradient and with clear borders. It is permissible to paint individual strands at the ends. Ideal with elongated bob and slanting bangs.

There are different options for the procedure, depending on the haircut model.

It is very important to consider the style of the bangs. its shape and length before choosing a staining technique. The starting points should be the following factors:

• diagonal bangs It looks more harmonious if her dyeing style matches the rest of the strands, so she can be left in her native state, provided that the use of pigment begins below her line;
• asymmetric bangs it is better to leave the short type in its original form, or paint over some parts of the strands;
• elongated straight bangs allows you to show imagination, both of the above options are suitable for it, and you can also try to color two strands near the border with the bulk of the hair.

This haircut refers to graded views with graduation, the strands, when properly laid, are lush and thick. Ombre in this situation can still add volume and eliminate the difficulties associated with the time spent on laying. The roots seem raised, the highlighted tips are drier, which makes the overall impression of the hairstyle very expressive. Can say that bobcars and gradient colors are created for each other, emphasizing the beauty and elegance of both techniques.

Here, in favor of the dyeing technique, is the length of the hair, which allows you to do much more. There are two main options for ombre elongation:

• coloring of strands in the face without placement on the bulk;
• the color of curls in the face, the ends of the strands and some external zones.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the ash gradient, since it combines perfectly with dark locks and a haircut. In addition, this is a hit of the current year, which promises to be incredibly popular in the next. Strands do not seem gray if the tone is correctly selected according to the color type. Ash ombre refreshes the face, but, unfortunately, emphasizes all skin imperfections, therefore, if there are problems in this area, it is better to refuse such a shade.

Brunettes with a square are suitable for various variations of ash.

• White ashes. More suitable for elongated haircuts. The roots of black in the middle of the strands turn into ashen, and the tips are painted in the color of snow. This is an incredibly beautiful and very complex look that only a good master can do. Black strands are very difficult to lighten, but not a drop of yellowness should be present here.
• Deep gray. The ideal solution for owners of a square of the color of the raven wing. The smooth transition from black to gray ends can be varied interspersed with subtle blue or lilac.
• Light brown ashes. This option is performed more often than the previous ones, as it is less complicated in execution. The light brown ash ends blend perfectly with the dark top. The most important thing here is the blurriness of the gradient, a smooth transition.
