Ombre: What's All The Buzz About?

It’s been awhile since a new look has come out that people are so fascinated with. This is exactly what Ombre has done. I’m here to tell you all about the buzz. Ombre is a fancy word for a hair coloring technique where the color goes darker at the root and fades into lighter and brighter highlights on the mid shaft to the end. Take note though, it shouldn’t look like your roots have grown out.
This technique really appeals to me as a natural brunette. I’ve always wanted to go blonde, but even as a professional, it would still look very hard on me. Ombre lets me have the option of wearing a deeper blonde color without looking too contrived. Since there is still depth and darkness around the face, brunettes will not look washed out.
It costs more than normal highlights because of the time spent, but the benefit is the low level of maintenance that comes with it. This version of highlights would only need to be touched up maybe twice a year depending on your personal preference.
The great thing about Ombre is that you can go as crazy as you want or as subtle and natural as you want. If you’re ready to rock a Nicki Minaj, go for it! Or you can go as natural and bold of the likes of Jessica Biel, Drew Barrymore or Sarah Jessica Parker.
As a hairdresser, we love when new techniques come in and we get to have the fun of letting people feel good about a new look. It’s great! Try it, take your time, get used to it. If you’ve been a blonde for years, do it a little at a time putting darker hair back in. That’s what’s great about Ombre, it all comes down to what you like. Enjoy and have a great summer!
