Coloring “red ombre”

One of the varieties of the popular "shadow" staining is red ombre. It gained popularity on both sides of the ocean, but it appeared, of course, in California, where the hair of glamorous surf girls actively faded in the sun.

Classic monochrome toning has long been losing ground. Instead, several kinds of gradient dyeing, including black and red ombre on the hair, gradually introduced into our life. Vanessa Hudgens, Amber Le Bon and Alexandra Berk did not pass by this trend at the time. In this article we will tell you in what variations there is a red ombre, and how to create this miracle at home.

Benefits of Red Ombre

Why is red ombre on black hair a great choice for girls whose curls are of the nature of a rich dark shade?

• First, because they do not have to radically change the color of the entire head of hair, or paint individual strands along the entire length. It is enough to lighten and delicately toned the strands into a third of the length — just the part that will eventually have to be cut;
• Secondly, like any imitation of natural burnout, dark red ombre is guaranteed to give a natural volume to a haircut. Curls will not look dull and dull, and their owner will receive a boost of energy from the attention of others. And a good mood as a result of change for the better;
• And thirdly, with the help of this type of toning, it is really possible to correct the problematic oval of the face, to focus on its bright features and to divert attention from shortcomings. For example, you can visually stretch a round face, if you apply diagonal Ombre staining on red hair.
• In addition, this procedure can be performed not only on black hair: red ombre is quite popular and on light strands. The length also does not matter: red ombre on short hair can look just as well and appropriately, as on strands up to the middle of the back.

Classic: red ombre on dark hair

A peculiar standard of this fashionable trend has become a red ombre on dark hair. It is with his help that the brightest, most shocking images are created (as we see in the famous photo of Jesse Jay — a burning brunette with scarlet ends of long silky strands).

• It should be borne in mind that red ombre on dark hair is not a solution for timid ones. After all, bright scarlet, fire orange, raspberry and fuchsia colors are guaranteed to attract attention to your person. And it is not always benevolent: there will always be conservatives in society who are opposed to an extraordinary hairstyle.
• However, there is an undeniable plus: a girl with a luxurious iridescent hair will not be lost in any crowd (even the most informal and unbridled).
• The emphasis on the face is automatically achieved: after all, the border of color most often lies between the cheekbones and the chin.
• If you choose ombra red hair, you must be prepared for the difficulties. It is rather difficult to lighten the ends from the first time so that the bright paint will fall on them evenly and the color will not be distorted. Here you need to find the optimal balance between price and quality: only a high-class professional will be able to achieve the desired effect without damaging the hair texture. But the services of such a stylist are often not cheap.
• One of the most affordable ways to get the effect of a crimson rainbow on black hair is to use washable mascara or special pastel crayons. Today, these tools are widely represented in cosmetic stores. One hitch - this coloring is short-lived: before the first wash.

Alternatively: red ombre on blonde hair

• The paint is better to choose high-quality and delicate, but at the same time resistant to washing. As for the color palette, there is plenty to choose from. Crimson, hot pink, purple and copper-red - all these colors will fit the light skin of natural blondes.
• Red ombre on blonde hair is a big field for your imagination. The main thing is to clearly understand what you want to get in the end.
