Ombre colors on your hair means going for dark shades on the roots and gradually lightening the color towards the ends. The gradient effect that you get as a result is mesmerizing to say the least.
How to do Ombre Hair Color
- For Ombre Hair Color, begin by mixing bleach in a bowl and then brush out your hair to remove the tangles.
- Tie each small section with a rubber band a few inches below the roots.
- Apply the bleach more on the ends and less as you reach the roots.
- Wash off the bleach and tie the same section to begin coloring. Finally, shampoo off the color.
How to Care for the Ombre Hair
Do not wash your hair more than two-three times in a week using mild shampoo. Keep the hair moisturized and stay away from the heated hairstyling tools as much as possible.
