Tips for choosing a beautiful ombre shade for dark hair:
(Ombre Hair Color) became popular very quickly in the beauty industry. And all because it opens up tremendous opportunities for choice and play of color. Due to the variety of the palette, ombre looks equally good on dark hair middle length and on the strands lighter. What is the secret of the popularity of ombre and how is hair coloring done correctly using this technique?
What's happened
The word itself comes from the French "ombre" - "shadow". And this technique consists in dyeing curls in two or more shades to create smooth transitions from roots to ends.
Note, due to the fact that different colors are used in the work, amber hair coloring is suitable for absolutely everyone. The main thing is to choose the right shade correctly.
Types of ombre
Classic (two-tone)
It appeared the very first. This ombre hair dyeing suggests smooth transition from dark roots to light ends with tone stretch. As a rule, colors that are close to natural are used in the work: wheat, nut-honey, chocolate, light brown and others. But more daring shades are allowed. Looks especially good with this ombre Brown hair middle length. A variety is balayazh, which is called a more sophisticated type of amber. When performing this technique, the illusion of curls "burnt out" in the sun is created.
The reverse
The technique is the same as in the classic one, only the transition is made from light roots to dark tips.
Multitonal
To create transitions, three or more shades are used in different variations... Such ombre hair dyeing is quite difficult to perform, so it should be done by an experienced master.
Color (dip-dye)
This method of creating ombre for medium curls occurs with the use of bright, very noticeable shades. It is worth considering that if such an ombre is made for black hair, the places where the colored accents will be located are pre-discolored. This can also include "tongues of flame", when the transition is made from dark roots to tips colored in any shade of red.
With a clear border
Suitable for those who wish to make an ombre for straight hair. This technique creates a well-defined contrast based on two colors.
Price
In the salon, ombre dyeing for medium hair will cost about 3,500 rubles.
If dyeing ombre for medium hair is carried out at home, then it is difficult to estimate how much the dyeing costs. The price will depend on the number of packs of paint (two or more different color). Each package will cost approximately 300-900 rubles (depending on the brand). In addition, often the hair is lightened, especially if an ombre is made for brunettes for medium hair. Then you will also need a clarifier. Its cost is about 300 rubles.
It is worth noting that there are also cheaper products for dyeing and lightening curls. Their cost varies between 40-100 rubles. But since dyeing a strand is a procedure that in one way or another harms the hair, it is better to give preference to well-known brands. They are more responsible in controlling the quality of their products.

Ombre belongs to a fairly young trend in the world of fashion and beauty. This term means a hair coloring technique in which two or more shades are used with a smooth transition from one to the other. The trend originated 2-3 years ago and is now at its peak.
Ombre is a versatile technique, it can be done for any length and hair color, in this article we will talk about ombre for dark hair.
Many people think that ombre staining looks good only on fair-haired and blond hair, because only with such shades can you achieve the effect of burnt hair, but this is not the case. Ombre for dark hair not only looks gorgeous, but also has a lot of variations.
How did the Ombre technique come about?
The impetus for the new idea was the initiative of Hollywood hairdressers, who sought to recreate the effect of regrown and burnt ends. That is, natural negligence formed the basis of the fashion trend.
Many star divas have experienced new technology, and each ombre hairstyle looked completely different. All over the world, the fair sex, inspired by the example of beauties, began to experiment.

Stylists combine bright, rich colors, making a blurred, barely noticeable border between them. So, for example, black roots, turning into a red hue, and at the ends - orange, expresses the rebellious spirit in the best possible way. More natural shades with a shaded transition are suitable for those who prefer a natural play of halftones, softness and naturalness.
INTERESTING. The term "ombre" was known in the last century. It was used by interior and clothing designers. There was a period when both the decoration of the premises and the choice of wardrobe were guided by the principle of "darkening". This is how ombre is translated from French.
Features of technology

In the first case, to achieve a gradient effect, the hairdresser applies a layer of paint just below the roots. Next, the lower part of the curls is painted (a lighter shade or another color is used). To obtain a more intense tone, the first zone is treated again.
The most intense color is obtained by wrapping the hair in foil.
When choosing a palette, you need to be guided by the following:
Skin tone;
Hair shade;
Personal taste and style.
IMPORTANT! A distinctive characteristic of ombre-style staining is precisely the presence of a border between different shades. The gradient can be smooth, stretching the color along the length of the hair, or have a more distinct transition.
