Peculiarities
Coloring a bright ombre with bangs is carried out by partial coloring and toning of curls. With this option, it is better to choose a classic coloring. It is possible, and horizontal coloring, but at the same time the bangs are partially lightened. By dyeing hair in the ombre style, they get a very interesting and unusual shade. Thanks to this method of coloring, it is possible to obtain a gradient between a dark shade at the roots and a light shade at the ends of the hair. This is a fairly versatile technique that allows you to use it on hair of different lengths, colors and on any haircut.
Ombre assumes non-uniform coloring of the strands with a transition, ranging from a dark shade to a lighter shade, or vice versa. The transition is usually clearly visible horizontally, while it should be located a short distance from the roots or at the bottom of the length. The peculiarity of this technique is that it produces a blurred border of colors. When applied to long strands, it can give the impression that there is another color in the middle, although only the base and light shade is used for dyeing. The lightened part of the head is painted over solid, because of this, the tone comes out the most saturated.
In this case, the transition is made soft with a change in 2-3 tones, or, conversely, contrasting, with the inclusion of up to 8 shades.
Ombre has the following advantages:
- thanks to this method of coloring, you can quickly put your hair in order, while you need to wait about 3 months before the next procedure;
- with correct staining, beautiful shades can be achieved;
- hair with this dyeing is less exposed to the negative effects of chemicals.
The disadvantage of this procedure is that only women of fashion with healthy hair, without split ends, can afford it, otherwise the hairstyle will seem untidy. Excessive or unprofessional coloring can cause severe damage to the hair, which is corrected by cutting. And also, if the color is incorrect, a pronounced border in the transition of shades will be visible, which will look less attractive.
Experts recommend that stylish girls pay attention to women's hairstyles painted using this technique. The most fashionable experts consider honey shades, as well as light and platinum blond, the color of wheat and caramel.
Who is it for?
When choosing such a coloring, it is worth making sure whether the ombre is suitable for the type of face, and how to visually make the image more attractive.

To soften the cheekbones, alternate between dark and light shades to soften and visually narrow the forehead and chin. And also it is worth visually stretching the face; for this, separate strands on the crown of the head are separately highlighted.
- For owners of a triangular type of face, it is important to smooth out the imperfections. To visually make a wide forehead less visible and a sharp chin less noticeable, you need to use bangs. For this type of face, oblique bangs or even bangs with tinted highlights are more suitable.
