ombre hair from blonde to darker ends: selecting attractive color transitions…

Your hair colour choices should always flatter your natural complexion. Dark brown combines well with every shade of blonde. For olive skin, hair color transitions from blonde to fawn-brown, chestnut brown or shades of mahogany are exceptionally stylish. Red and coppery tones suit women with light complexions.

Kristin Cavallari’s complexion shows the healthy glow of days in the sun, and her eye colour is on the darker side. Her variation of the ombre look suits her natural coloring perfectly. The honey blonde hair near the roots transitions to brown toward the ends. Her hair is colored darker close to her neck and shows only few darker accents in the covering hair. This gives her hair color the natural appearance.

Coloring blonde hair requires a special touch and most importantly, adherence to the coloring directions. Otherwise, unintended hair colors may be the result.

Ombre hair coloring appears particularly natural if the hair close to the roots already shows a darker natural color. The hair ends should be colored in shades, which resemble the natural hair color.

You can further accentuate your ‘reverse ombre’ hair color by using sea salt spray. Generously apply the sea salt spray to the still damp hair after shampooing. Beach waves will automatically appear as your hair dries.

Ombre hair coloring works best in combination with accurate middle parting and soft waves. Use extra-gloss hair spray to enhance the color effects.

Ombre hair appears particularly trendy with steep color transition. Don’t be timid if you like to try the ombre look from light to dark or from dark to light.
