What Is Ombre Hair Colouring?
Ombre hair colouring is one of the most popular trends amongst Millennials and Generation Z and has been around for most of the last two decades. The colour inspiration for ombre looks is endless, with blonde colours as a popular option along with more wildcard colours like pink and blue. The ombre style is one of the most unique options of hair colouring that allows you to create a truly bespoke look. With minimal root regrowth, this is the perfect way to start experimenting with your hair. If you’re considering giving the ombre trend a try, then we’ve brought together everything you need to know about the style.
Like everything stylish, the word ‘Ombre’ comes from the French word for ‘shaded’. Ombre describes a hair colouring technique where a darker colour begins at the roots before gradually lightening as the hair goes down to create a sun-kissed look with the lightest colour at the tips. This hair colouring technique is focused on creating a seamless transition of colour, unlike highlights which give stripes of colour to your hair. You can recreate Michelle Obama’s caramel ombre locks, Dakota Johnson’s honey-gold ombre streaks or Billie Eilish’s unique green and black ombre look. With the ombre technique, you can create more natural-looking hairstyles or more diverse out-of-the-box looks with vibrant colours.
The ombre hairstyle is easy to maintain, and as your hair continues to grow the lighter portion of your hair will move further down as your roots grow out. If you want a low maintenance but trendy hairstyle, then look no further than the ombre trend. For an even more low maintenance look, consider trying out the ‘sombré’ look, which is a more gradient ombre effect that is softer and less intense than the normal ombre.
Unlike other types of hair colouring techniques, the ombre style has limited regrowth meaning that you won’t be a time crunch to have your hair redone every few weeks. The average time between each ombre treatment for most clients is three months, but this will depend on your desired look and your hair length. Instead, you can take your time and experiment with different colours. If you’ve always dreamed of colouring your hair pink, perhaps try adding the colour into your hair with the ombre technique before fully committing to it.
One of the best ways to style this look is with loose curls to get the most out of the ombre effect. Another way of showcasing the beauty of the ombre effect is with a braid or French plait, allowing you to show off the contrast between the lightest and darkest sections of your hair. The ombre style suits both longer and shorter hair and works particularly well with a bob to give the appearance of highlighted tips.
