Ambre hair coloring on dark, blond, blond hair of medium, short length, long. Step-by-step instruction, technique, photo

Ambra hair dyeing has become popular for the last 2 years. From the numerous photos of the girls who made this dyeing, we can say that this technique is applicable for any hair length and any initial color.

Advantages and disadvantages of ombre hair dyeing

Staining has its advantages and disadvantages. The positive aspects include:

1. Natural appearance. The hair, as it grows back, is exposed to sunlight, as a result of which some strands burn out. Ombre staining does not imply a cardinal color change. The result is a hairstyle with interesting light accents and highlights, as after a natural burnout.
2. Visual increase in hairstyle volume. Overflows and a slight color change make the hair visually thicker.
3. Ombre is one of many dyeing methods suitable for any type, texture and initial hair color.
4. You can correct the color no more than 1 time in 2-3 months. This makes it possible to grow long and healthy hair.

But the technique has several disadvantages:

1. It is difficult to do on your own and inept staining may look messy and unnatural due to the sharp border of the color change.
2. Absolutely not suitable for dry and split ends, because lightening leads to a deterioration in the condition of the hair.
3. It is difficult to create a smooth gradient with bangs.

Types of Ombre Staining

The staining technique is divided into several types:

• two-tone;
• the opposite;
• multitonal;
• with an emphasis on bangs;
• bronding;
• Scandinavian ombre;
• color ombre.

Classic two-tone

A two-tone amber hair coloring, the photo of which is presented below, suggests easy highlighting of individual strands using natural shades, for example:

• Kashtanovs.
• Wheat
• Rusykh.
• Amber.
• Ash.

This ombre is divided into 2 types: vintage and pony tail (horse tail).

With a vintage ombre, hair is dyed so that the border of the shade change is maintained. The borders between the colors are unsharp, but still well defined. The effect of “regrown roots” is created.

When stained with ombre, the ponytail is clarified as if the hair had burned out, while it was gathered in a high ponytail. The upper strands are more lightened, in the presence of bangs it is completely dyed.

Reverse ombre

Ambre hair coloring, the photo of which is located below, is less popular, but less effective.

The reverse ombre is most preferable for natural blondes and people with light blond, wheat-colored hair. Lightening is not performed and a natural light shade is preserved at the roots. This ombre suggests a gradual darkening of the hair along the entire length.

Indented 1’6 – 2 inch from the roots, the hair is dyed in a color that differs by 2-3 tones from natural. Approximately from the middle of the entire length of the hair, dyeing is performed in a shade 3 shades darker than the previous one. The ends are stained most intensely.

But the reverse ombre can be done on dark hair. To do this, lighten the upper strands by 3-4 shades to the middle of the hair length. The hair below is dyed with a color similar to natural in color, but still a little lighter. The ends are left unpainted. The reverse ombre on dark hair requires frequent correction due to the growth of dark roots.

Multitone

With amber, hair coloring in a multitonal technique does not use 2, but more shades (photos are presented below).

The actual use of natural shades. When staining strands in the face, as well as the upper strands on the top of the head are highlighted more strongly. Blonde curls can alternate with light blond. You can alternate platinum strands with ash.

It is important to maintain fuzziness, smooth transitions.

Dyeing is usually carried out along the entire length, indented from the roots by 3’1 – 3’9 inch. The first applied color should be lighter than natural by 1-2 tones. Further, each subsequent color may differ from the previous one by 2-3 tones. Some strands lighten almost the entire length.

A distinctive feature of multitonal ombre from any other is that the transitions are performed very carefully, completely imperceptibly.

With a focus on bangs

When staining long hair using the ombre technique, bangs are not clarified. It is not recommended to do this coloring in the presence of a graduated, oblique bangs and bangs, “curtains”. Ombre on long hair with a bang in the style of Caroline de Megre looks interesting and relevant.

With a square with a long straight bang, a gradient can be made and it turns out to be very beautiful and unusual.

In the best way, an ombre with an emphasis on bangs looks on short haircuts – pixies, pages, session, garzon. Because these haircuts involve leaving longer strands at the bangs and a minimum length at the back of the head. That is, all staining is done on a bang.

Bronzing

This term came from a combination of the names of the two colors blond and brown, so the color palette is limited to these shades.

The most commonly used colors are:

• Honey.
• Wheat
• Golden blond.
• Caramel
• Pearl.
• Golden.
• Milk chocolate.
• Dark blond.

When booking, as a rule, dye the hair completely. The darkest and most saturated colors are applied to the top part, then lightening is gradually carried out. Many stylists prefer to place bright highlights on their faces. In the process of staining, the highlighting method is used, so this measurement looks very natural.

The most beneficial armor looks on women with dark or tanned sk
in. The whole image looks solid, due to the similarity of the shades of hair and skin. Eye color can be any. It is this ombre that creates the effect of the so-called dark blonde – a shade of hair that stands on the border between the blond and the blond.

Very often, reservations can be seen with Jennifer Lopez.

Scandinavian Ombre

The Scandinavian ombre is very similar to the reverse ombre, because it also involves dimming the hair along the length. This technique has become popular in Scandinavia, because most of the inhabitants of Northern Europe have blond hair color. Because of this, dyeing hair in a two-tone ombre is very difficult.

The classic Scandinavian ombre is a smooth transition from light to dark. Natural blond, starting from about the middle of the hair length, darkens, the ends become the darkest.

It is not necessary to paint them black. You can use other shades, for example:

1. Chestnut.
2. Chocolate.
3. Coffee.
4. Dark blond.
5. Walnut.
6. Graphite.

Scandinavian color ombre is becoming more and more popular, when the ends are painted not in natural shades, but in bright colors.

For instance:

1. Crimson.
2. Blue.
3. Blue.
4. Red.
5. Orange.
6. Green.

Creative color ombre

Color ombre is a method of dyeing hair using bright shades. Color change occurs horizontally. Dyeing starts from the middle of the hair. Usually 2 colors are used, but more is possible.

With such dyeing, it is important to remember that bright dyes are more aggressive, so hair needs careful and regular care, as well as restorative procedures.

Ombre dyeing on dark hair

Ambre hair coloring (photo below) is most applicable for dark hair, because they allow you to use most types of this technique.

Ombre on black hair can suggest both lightening the ends to the blond, and to light brown, honey or caramel. Transitions can be made both soft and smooth, and clear. Of course, a radical change in the color of the ends can lead to a deterioration in the quality of the hair – dryness and porosity, because dark hair cannot be lightened at once.

Re-staining will be required. But you can create reddish or honey-caramel glare in the first staining. With natural warm hair color, it is better to use warm light shades, the same rule should be observed with a cold shade.

For brunette with blue-black hair, stylists recommend a monochrome ombre. This is a combination of black strands with very light platinum. The border can be clear and smooth. Also, brunettes like no other suit a colored ombre with dark shades (blue, purple or green).

Dark-haired women are very bronzing, because it looks natural.

Ombre dyeing on fair hair

Ambre hair coloring, photo of which is located below, on fair hair looks fresh and bright. On blond hair, you can easily perform the reverse and Scandinavian ombre . Shades applied to the hair can be very diverse.

On medium-blond hair, it is often recommended to make sombre – a soft ombre. On blond hair, it will not be possible to make a bright active ombre, as, for example, on dark, but part of the hair can still be lightened. Such a natural ombre is ideal for light brown, light blond hair.

For staining, several shades of permanent paint are used at once, differing from each other by several tones. You can completely color short strands on the face and some thin curls on the back of the head.

For a cold light brown color, it is better to choose the following shades:

1. pearl,
2. walnut,
3. linen,
4. ashen.

For warm hair color, the following shades are preferred:

1. sand,
2. caramel
3. wheat
4. honey.

Features of ombre on red curls

The ombre technique is universal, so unusual and beautiful coloring can be done on red hair.

Natural red hair by itself looks bright, and coloring will help make the owner’s appearance more stylish. Saturated red hair can be slightly lightened at the ends in honey or caramel color. It is also recommended to place small glare on the top and face.

On red hair, as well as on hair of any other color, you can do the opposite ombre. For example, a natural red color is smoothly darker and flows into black. This is a non-classical method, but it looks no less impressive.

Especially beautiful looks ombre framing the face. This technique helps to adjust the shape of the face in the presence of some defects or imperfections.

Red hair is very suitable for armoring. Indeed, the hair already has a natural red pigment, which must be achieved with chemical dyes when dyeing hair of a different color. Red curls need to be lightened a little in the right places, most often these are strands on the top of the head and several strands in the face.

Ombre staining according to hair length

Ambre hair coloring, photo of which is presented below, depends on the length of the hair. Some types of ombre are universal, and some are only suitable for a certain length of hair.

For long hair

Any ombre can be done on long hair. In the presence of a bang, coloring should not be done from the very roots, because the dark bang will look alienated and unnatural (if it is not a pony tail, in which the bang is painted).

On long hair, a sombre, a two-tone, and an armor look beautiful. For long dark hair, it is especially necessary to note the “fiery” ombre – dyeing the ends in bright red, mahogany, orange, brick shades. On long blond hair, a natural ombre (or sombre) looks great.

Shades for ombre must be selected very carefully, based on the shade of the skin and eyes. Some stylists select colors exclusively according to the theory of color
types. This is not unreasonable, because with cold “winter” skin the warm shades on the hair will look alien, the same with warm skin and ash and platinum shades.

For medium length hair

On medium-length hair, coloring is carried out almost at the very ends and 3’1 – 5’9 inch higher, so that the transitions are really smooth and invisible. At the average length, the Scandinavian and reverse ombre, two-tone, color look most advantageously.

It is not recommended to do multitonal coloring, because on the average length it is problematic to make soft and invisible transitions using more than 3 shades.

Ombre with emphasis on the bangs is not recommended for the reason that it is better to leave the bangs the same color as the roots. Otherwise, 2 accents turn out and the image looks redundant.  Women with care are recommended to lighten the very ends of no more than 2-3 tones.

For short hair

For shorter lengths, the best color scheme is an ombre with an emphasis on bangs. The shade for coloring can be any – natural or bright.

Also often, stylists recommend a monochrome ombre for short haircuts.

Ombre staining at home: step by step instructions

Ombre coloring is one of the most difficult, so it’s very difficult to make soft, invisible transitions between tones. But at home, it is quite possible to make a sombre, because such a “soft” ombre involves a color change of only 2-3 tones.

Step-by-step instruction:

Step	What to do
1	Choose a paint color that differs from the natural one by no more than 4 tones.
2	Paint should be prepared in a plastic bowl. You can protect clothes from getting paint with a cape.
3	Before dyeing, hair is recommended not to be washed. They need to be thoroughly combed and the length to which the paint will be applied is determined.
4	On very dark and black hair, the paint may not be taken the first time, so it is recommended to lighten it first.
5	There are 2 methods for applying paint. The first is to carefully stain the very bottom of the hair and distribute the dye along the length with a large comb. The second way: apply paint to the ends and wrap them with foil for 5-10 minutes; after time, apply paint to the hair above the ends; it is necessary to maintain paint and wash off. The meaning of this method is that the paint on the ends of the hair lasts longer and they lighten more. If the effect obtained is not satisfactory, then repeated staining should be carried out no earlier than after 8-9 days, so as not to injure the hair.
6	After staining, apply a care product (mask, balm or conditioner).

Features of hair care after ombre dyeing

To maintain healthy hair after dyeing, it is important to take care of them properly.

Washed hair after dyeing cannot be dried with a hairdryer, it is better to let them dry in a natural way. In the first 2 weeks after coloring, it is not recommended to use curling irons, irons and stylers for styling. Also, after staining using the ombre technique, do not use styling gels, hair sprays, mousses and foams.

The use of intensely nourishing masks is important. It is better to give preference to those products that include vitamin complexes, natural and mineral oils, extracts of medicinal plants (calendula, chamomile, nettle, oak bark are useful for hair).

But you need to carefully study the composition so that it does not have silicones, since such components give a temporary effect. The presence of keratin in masks is completely optional, because from outside this protein is not absorbed by the body.

An excellent tool will be oil. It is worth giving preference to those that contain, in addition to mineral oils, argan oil, macadamia, coconut or almond oil. Many popular brands offer a wide range of such indelible products that need to be applied to washed hair.

These oils give the hair shine and softness, as well as protect against the effects of temperature and sunlight. There are also oils on sale that warn against washing away color.

When coloring, which brightens the hair to blond, it is recommended to use tinted shampoos and “blue” shampoos, which warn the appearance of yellowness. But it is the “blue” shampoos that should be used with great care, because they can color the hair, but this color is washed off over time.

Masks made from natural base oils, such as:

• sunflower;
• peach;
• burdock;
• olive.

They can be applied to the hair in its pure form for half an hour and washed off with warm water and shampoo. Oils can be mixed with other base or essential oils and can also be applied to hair.

In the matter of choosing shampoo, preference should be given to those samples that are designed specifically for colored hair. Because they gently cleanse the scalp of dust, the secret of sebaceous glands and other things without harming the color, without washing it.

Some stylists recommend using lemon juice for hair care. Based on it, you can prepare masks at home or add a few fluid ounce to purchased masks. Also, do not forget about conditioners and balms, because they help preserve th
e fibrous texture of the hair and prevent porosity.

Hairdressers recommend combing your hair with a large wooden comb.

For colored hair, procedures such as lamination and keratin straightening are recommended. These procedures smooth the texture of the hair and give the hair a shine and smoothness.

Hair coloring using the ambre technique is an interesting coloring, which is divided into several types. Each woman will be able to choose a suitable ombre for herself, based on personal preferences, color type, eye and skin color. It is important to study the photo before staining in order to clearly know what the result will be.
