• Classic. Everything is simple here - based on a combination of two shades, one of which is natural. The classic ombre looks more organically in close to natural scales with a burnout effect.

• Two-tone creative. Ideal for lengthening caret and creative people. The ends of the strands look glowing and catchy. As a rule, the following colors are chosen for this: honey, red, red, orange, gold, copper.

• Vertical multitone. It differs from the two-tone one by the multistage gradient of shades and the use of transitional tones. This is a real smooth gradient transition that uses a rich color palette. Blue-black, pearlescent beige, dark chocolate, golden wheat and others.

• Multi-tone creative. Here the breadth of the palettes used is even wider and more varied. It all depends on the age category, lifestyle, status and taste. The roots are blue, reaching purple in the middle and raspberries at the ends - a luxurious catchy coloration. It is important here not to overdo it and observe a sense of proportion, as well as to choose the shades correctly.

• Monochrome. This is black and white coloring, laconic, restrained, but luxurious. This ombre has been in trend for more than one season; it includes a combination of platinum and black. Monochrome is good both in smooth gradients and with clear borders. It is permissible to paint individual strands at the ends. Ideally combined with an elongated bob and oblique bangs.

There are different options for the procedure, depending on the haircut model.

It is very important to consider the style of your bangs. its shape and length before choosing a staining technique. The starting points should be the following factors:

• bangs diagonally it looks more harmonious if its coloring style matches the rest of the strands, so it can be left in its native state, provided that the application of the pigment starts below its line;
• asymmetrical bangs it is better to leave the short type in its original form, or paint over individual parts of the strands;
• elongated straight bangs allows you to show imagination, both of the above options are suitable for it, and you can also try to color two strands near the border with the bulk of the hair.

This haircut belongs to the stepped types with graduation, the strands, when properly styled, lie fluffy and thick. Ombre in this situation can further add volume and eliminate the difficulties associated with the time spent on styling. The roots appear raised, the bleached ends are drier, which makes the overall impression of the hairstyle very expressive. We can say that bob bob and gradient colors are made for each other, highlighting the beauty and elegance of both techniques.

Here, the hair length speaks in favor of the dyeing technique, which allows you to do much more. There are two main options for lengthening ombre:

• coloring of strands on the face without placement on the bulk;
• coloring of curls on the face, ends of strands and some outer zones.

Separately, it should be said about the ash gradient, since it combines perfectly with dark strands and a bob haircut. In addition, this is a hit of the current year, which promises to be incredibly popular next year. The strands do not appear gray if you choose the right tone according to the color type. Ash ombre refreshes the face, but, unfortunately, emphasizes all skin imperfections, therefore, if there are problems in this area, it is better to refuse such a shade.

For brunettes with squares, various variations of ash are suitable.

• White ash. More suitable for elongated types of haircuts. The black roots in the middle of the strands turn to ashy, and the tips are painted in the color of snow. This is an incredibly beautiful and very complex view, which only a good master can do. Black strands are very difficult to lighten, and not a drop of yellowness should be present here.
• Deep gray. Ideal for raven hair. The smooth transition from black to gray ends can be diversified with blotches of subtle blue or lilac.
• Light brown ash. This option is performed more often than the previous ones, since it is less difficult to execute. Ash-blonde ends blend beautifully with the dark crown. The most important thing here is the blur of the gradient, a smooth transition.
