Video: ombre hair coloring

Hi all!

So I got the reins under my tail, I blew the spring wind of change and I wanted to change the color of my hair ... Eh ...

My natural hair color is dark blond, without redness, such an ashy shade. He looks rather boring (as it seems to me) and therefore, like many girls, I experimented a lot with hair color. It was not, perhaps, only fiery red and blue-black. About 5 or 6 years ago I settled on ombre in different variations as the most optimal option for myself. It looked something like this:

"Fresh" and slightly yellowed ombre

The growing roots were practically not visible, however, once every 5-6 weeks I tinted to get rid of yellowness, and once every 3-4 months I lightened to “pull” the blond up.

Colors varied +/- several tones, but the image remained unchanged. Sometimes my hairdresser and I lightened almost the entire length of the hair, but the roots were tinted approximately at the level of my natural color. For example, exactly a year ago I looked like this (photo right after the salon):

Lightening "raised" up

And today, the master and I (by the way, I have not changed my hairdresser for more than 10 years) decided to "refresh" my image. And move away a little from the successful, but already fed up ombre. I came to the salon with hair that the master had not touched for 2 months, at the roots natural color hair, the tips are clarified. The hair is not styled.

First, the master selected individual strands, applied a brightening composition (6%) to the middle (not reaching about 8-10 cm to the ends) and wrapped it in foil. This process took almost an hour and a half, I have thick hair ... Then we drank coffee for about 20 minutes)

Then she unfolded each strand, and applied the mixture to the very ends and to the roots, for about 5 minutes. We washed off the paint in parts, as it was a big difference at the time of application - first the back of the head, then the crown and temples ...

After that she applied a tinting mixture (mixed 4 tones, Matrix paint). Even a pink color was added, although I don’t see it on my hair, the color seems too yellow to me. We always try to go into a colder, I have a cold color type.

We chat for 20 minutes and sit with the tinting mixture ... Then we wash it off, dry the hair with a hairdryer and pull it out with it, go through the ends with scissors and refresh the haircut. ALL. All in all it took 3.5 hours.

I looked in the mirror and went nuts ... What kind of blonde? Oh mein goth, I don’t feel like a blonde at all, what should I do, mom? It was so unusual... Look what happened:

Is this my hair? I felt very, VERY unusual with this color ... The fact is that by nature and in my soul I am not a blonde at all, although I go crazy with platinum hair color. True, on others, not on yourself) Or are these all stereotypes?

Let's see before and after. It seems to me that I'm afraid to say that BEFORE it was better?

Well, at least my husband didn’t ask where I was🙂 (usually he said “What hairdresser? As it was, it remains! Where was it, I ask ?!” Well, this is a joke, of course)

I took a few more selfies at home to capture the overall look.

Maybe the makeup needs to be brighter or something to do with the eyebrows? It's good that at least it doesn't look like in the 00s, remember? Highlighting with feathers through a cap. Or with foil in a checkerboard pattern)

Well, I'll get used to the new image. I will experiment with styling and makeup, if I get worthwhile images, I will add a review.

UPD. I took a few more photos. Those that are, do not quite convey the state of things. Thank you very much to everyone who wrote that it got better or not worse!

Still, it was difficult for me to agree with this, and I think I understand why. The fact is that the color turned out not only too light, but also too yellow, but it was not so easy to catch it on camera.

That looks like a good thing, right?

And so, too, it is at the window. The color is almost ashen, but "collective farm" feathers are visible:

Here is another lighting, in my opinion, also nothing:

Why is everything different in the mirror? I look at myself and am unpleasantly surprised every time, and my husband is like that in general, look at me and grimaces every time. He says go and do it right. Here are photos that more or less capture what the color looks like in reality:

The facial expression is appropriate, I'm really very sad(

Just a chick. Girls, it's me with makeup, unpainted, with this hair color, they would boldly give the role of a white walker. Without makeup.

My opinion is that such a light and warm shade (and my color type is cold!) Throws age and gives some kind of painful look.

It's not about highlighting as such, but about too light and too warm a shade. Well, I’ll know what doesn’t suit me for sure) A few more before-after photos:

And here the difference is a month. The hair is collected, but it can be seen that it is much darker, the roots are dark blond:

Now I'm thinking - leave the blond, but toned in a colder one?

Or return the ombre with dark roots?

What do you think?

In two weeks I have a responsible trip in which I would like to look good. I signed up for the master. What I'm going to do, I don't know yet

Of course, I won’t put 5 stars, since the procedure does not affect the condition of the hair in the best way. You need to take care of your hair intensively (well, it is always necessary).

Good luck with your transformations! Be happy and loved!

UPD 04/23/19. Still darkened the roots a little. Here is the result:

In pursuit of beauty, beauty experts every year come up with more and more new ways of dyeing hair that allow you to achieve an unusual shade without sacrificing naturalness. Another novelty that appeared just a couple of years ago, but is already so popular with women all over the planet, is the amber (ombre) hair coloring technique. It is similar in principle to highlighting.

Features and differences

What does ombre technology imply and what are its advantages?
Ombre itself is a kind of curl coloring technique that allows you to achieve a smooth transition from a natural darker color to a lighter and golden one. Highlighting, on the other hand, consists in lightening hotel strands throughout the head in blond shades.

Ambre according to the highlighting principle is nothing more than a combination of two independent coloring methods, in which, as with ombre, there is a natural transition of dark curls to lighter ones, while the tips can be dyed with several lighter shades at once, which give depth to the color.

Compared with highlighting, this method allows you to get away from the effect of regrown roots and will have an attractive appearance a very long time.

To date color combinations when using this technique, a huge variety - from natural shades to extraordinary and creative.

Advantages, disadvantages and secrets of painting

Any hair coloring tends to harm their condition. Especially if the hair by nature does not shine with health or is already damaged. The effect of amber on thin and straight curls may not have the result that a woman was striving for. First of all, such coloring affects the volume.

Since highlighting is nothing more than bleaching dark hair, its principle in ambergris has a similar effect and is no less harmful.

The popularity of this coloring is due to the fact that it looks perfect on any woman, regardless of age, skin color, eyes. The natural color of the hair does not even play a role, whether it is dark as pitch, or vice versa - light blond.

This method of staining will look best on thick hair the same length, but wavy or graduated curls will look no less interesting.
The classic option for such staining to obtain the most natural color is the use of colors a tone or two lighter than natural. If you want to make the ombre effect more catchy and noticeable, then you can take shades that are lighter.

If the choice fell on coloring curls using the amber technique, then it is best to contact an experienced salon master at least at first, watching whom you will determine the sequence of actions.
Briefly, the algorithm of action is as follows:

• A third of the length of the hair from the tips and strands of the face on both sides are discolored with a highlighter.
• Rinse and dry hair.
• The base darker natural color is applied to the roots and along the entire length, stopping at the border with discolored tips.
• 5-7 minutes before you need to wash off the dye, the hair is combed along the entire length, including the tips. It is this action that gives a smooth, soft transition.
• A final rinse is performed.

Can you color at home?

The technique itself is quite simple, so even the first coloring, if you really want to, but finances do not allow you to go to the salon, it will not be difficult for a girl or woman who has had experience in dyeing hair at home.

Coloring agents that need to be prepared include highlighting paint and dark color paint that is identical to natural. You can take ready-made kits right away. When you have decided on the color, you can start staining:

1. Mix the components according to the instructions, after preparing the hair. Preparation consists in carefully combing the hair, which will allow the brush with the dye to glide through the hair without getting confused.
2. Decide on the length of the amber, that is, from the areas of the hair where you need to start bleaching. How longer hair, the longer the clarified tips will be. As a rule, they make up 1/3 of the entire length of the hair.
3. Coloring should be started from the back of the head, since the hair is darker there, respectively, it will take more time to bleach it.
4. After maintaining the allotted time, rinse your head.
5. Paint over the roots to the lightening line with a dark natural shade, all the same starting from the back of the head.
6. Comb your hair five minutes before rinsing off.

This method of staining, like any other, based on the bleaching of the strands, affects their dryness, brittleness and other negative consequences. Balms, conditioners will help to take care of curls, which you need to use regularly, as well as nourishing masks.

Now there are many staining techniques. Ombre and highlighting have become the most popular. Many girls know that when staining with the ombre method, the tips suffer a lot: they become brittle and dry, lose their aesthetic appearance. Therefore, they prefer classic highlighting.

At the same time, evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of both techniques, many women begin to think about the questions: “What will the hair look like if the lightening procedure is carried out immediately after the ombre? How much will the strands be damaged and is it worth it? Colorists answer this question in the affirmative. But, it is worth paying attention that after the last staining in the form of an ombre, it is worth lightening after a few weeks. And during the waiting period, it is necessary to make moisturizing masks as often as possible, as well as nourish the roots and tips.

Advantages and disadvantages of techniques: which is better

Let's try to highlight the main pros and cons of both procedures.

Highlighting has the following advantages:

• you can make the color of the hair more fresh, while not changing the basic tone;
• with its help, the volume of the hair increases, they acquire a life-giving shine;
• if you don’t like the result, just return to the natural shade;
• is a camouflage remedy for gray hair and regrown hair after dyeing.

As a minus:

• a long time to carry out the technique (about two hours of work);
• should not be carried out immediately after a perm, as well as after painting with henna;
• high price.

You will find recipes for yogurt hair masks.

Among the positive characteristics of ombre are:

• no need to regularly visit the salon for correction (with the exception of tip correction);
• gentle procedure, it does not use ammonia dyes;
• with it, you can change the appearance of the girl, visually correct the oval of the face;
• looks good enough on all types and shades of hair, for example;
• The most popular staining technique in recent times is.

But, it also has negative sides:

• the complexity of the procedure, especially on;
• the occurrence of split ends;
• expensive procedure (in the salon);
• it is necessary to regularly apply nourishing masks to curls, moisturize them with oils and balm.

Is it possible to do highlighting and ombre together at the same time

To make both staining at the same time, the master uses two tones. But, there are practically no clear boundaries between dark hair roots and light tips.

The essence of the procedure in the complex is that the colorist darkens the hair roots (as in highlighting), and sets off the dark undertone with light tips (as in ombre). This procedure will look best on blondes. suits them California highlights, in which lightening the tips will make the image whole. Highlighting along with ombre should not be carried out if the strands are weakened and severely cut. Therefore, if you still want to carry out a similar technique, you need to choose not very light shades.

Such coloring is very difficult to do at home, so it is recommended to seek help from a beauty salon master.

Is it possible to make an ombre after highlighting (transient)

It is possible to carry out the ombre technique after highlighting, but it is worth considering a number of recommendations:

1. A few weeks before the procedure, regularly nourish the hair (roots and tips) with a professional line cosmetics(masks, balms, oils).
2. It is necessary to cut off all split ends.
3. Use only ammonia-free dyes.

When highlighting, turning into an ombre, the strands will look natural. But it is worth considering the fact that such double painting can adversely affect the quality of the curls. Therefore, you can resort to such a procedure only if you have healthy and strong hair.

With this coloring, the hair will be visually thicker, the image will be whole.

Rules for the procedure at home: how to go from highlighting to ombre

To prevent negative consequences Please follow the following basic rules.

Hair preparation

The preparatory process takes several days, during which it follows:

• do not wash your hair, because thanks to the natural sebum, the curls will suffer to a lesser extent, and the coloring mixture will lie more evenly;
• before going to the salon, you can not apply styling products;
• organize nutrition and strengthening of hair at home (apply masks, balms).

Lightening

The first period of the technique begins with lightening the ends of the strands:

• prepare the clarifier according to the instructions;
• mix the dye and brightener just before direct application;
• comb the hair and divide into strands for better coloring;
• gradually apply the clarifier to the strands (from the tips to the roots to the border of the color transition).

Worth not using a large number of clarifier. This will avoid problems with curls. As soon as the first layer of the brightening mass has been applied, you need to step back from this place and continue painting.

• at the end of the procedure - wash your hair in the usual way.

You will find reviews about the Numero hair mask.

highlighting

Before highlighting, you need to choose the staining technique that suits you. The most acceptable way is shatush or French highlighting. It is it that is as close as possible to the ombre, but has smooth transitions. At the same time, the use of foil during the dyeing process is not required, the colorist approaches the choice of paint color, taking into account the client's skin tone and the natural shade of the hair as much as possible. The paint on the curls is superimposed on the selected strands. After dyeing, wash your hair and dry it.

The difference between the two staining techniques.

ombre

After highlighting has been done, you should proceed to lightening the tips (ombre technique). Specially darkening the roots is not required, since similar ones were done at the highlighting stage. Many people think that overgrown highlights are similar to ombre.

The paint for clarification is chosen according to the preferences of the client (in addition to natural tones, unusual shades for red, pink are popular).

In the race for the ideal, the beauty industry every season offers newer and more advanced ways of dyeing hair, thanks to which you can radically change the image without compromising curls.

Another trend that gained popularity last year is the ombre technique, which allows you to achieve a smooth transition of color from dark tones to lighter ones.

The ombre method is gaining more and more popularity. Ombre is a kind of two-tone coloring, the transition from dark roots to light tips, in the middle there is a blurry border between the two colors.

Is it possible?

Important! The fears of many women are not in vain - the transition from ombre to highlighting is extremely difficult, besides, there is a risk of getting a completely different result, and instead of a chic hairstyle, get lifeless dry strands.

Highlighting is not a very gentle procedure, since the strands are processed for a long time, and the desired shade may not turn out the first time.

The demand for partial coloring is due to the fact that it looks perfect on any girl, regardless of her age, type of face. Highlighting is best suited for thick curls the same length, but it will look no less advantageous on other types of hairstyles.

Coloring techniques at home

In total, there are four highlighting techniques that at home will allow you to successfully apply the coloring composition:

Step-by-step instruction

For that to make an ombre that turns into highlights, you will need:

Find a place with good natural light and a mirror. Before the procedure, you should not wash your hair, but the hair must be carefully combed from roots to ends.

Important! If staining is carried out for the first time, then it is worth testing for the absence of an allergic reaction.

Stages of highlighting:

1. Throw a cloth or towel over your shoulders, comb through the curls, prepare the paint and clips.
2. Randomly separate the strands with a width of approximately 1-1.5 cm along the partings, fix them.
3. Apply paint with careless strokes, but do not deviate from the roots.
4. Make sure that the composition does not get on uncolored hair.
5. Wait 30-40 minutes, depending on the time indicated on the package.
6. To evaluate the result, you can wipe off the paint with a cotton swab from one of the strands.
7. Wash your hair - you need to rinse it several times with shampoo and again with a balm or mask.

If, after dyeing, the strands become too contrasting in comparison with natural color, you can use a tinting agent. Thanks to him, color transitions will become smoother.

About how, on the contrary, to switch to ombre after highlighting, we talked about.

Aftercare

Curls after re-dyeing necessarily need additional care, which would allow to maintain the result obtained for a long time and restore hair after a harmful procedure.

Attention! After highlighting, you can not do chemistry or dye your hair with henna. This can threaten damage to the hair structure and lead to hair loss.

How to get your shade back?

If the experiment with partial dyeing after the ombre was unsuccessful, then paint over the hair again in solid color not worth it at home. The aggressive components contained in such paints can damage the hair, and the result will be quite deplorable.

Use low ammonia semi-permanents to get your color back. or chemical-free products. When choosing a dye, you need to focus on a little more dark shade in comparison with highlighting, which is more suitable for the natural color.

Often an unpleasant surprise after the procedure is the yellowness of the clarified strands. You can get rid of it with the help of tint balm or tonic with pigment. A platinum nuance is also well suited, which will give the curl a silvery sheen.

conclusions

Highlighting is a bleaching of hair, which in any case tends to spoil their condition, especially if they are naturally prone to brittleness and loss. It must be remembered that the result of highlighting after ombre on thin and damaged strands may not be as impressive as we would like.

If you still decide on this procedure, then take the choice and purchase of paint seriously. Carefully inspect the packaging, check the expiration dates and read the instructions, only then proceed to staining.

In any case, it must be taken into account that professionals in the hairdressing salon will be able to choose the safest and softest dye so as not to damage the hair. Most often, it is proposed to first color the clarified curls, and then even out the color along the entire length. This will help to optimally align the color and help get rid of bad highlights. Owners of long hair will not be superfluous after that to conduct a course of restorative procedures.
