How to make ombre coloration at home: photo master class

In a good ombral this transition is gradual and slightly noticeable, and individual light sections of the strands are located just above the common light line, which is located approximately in the middle of the hair.

The classical ombre mimics the maximum naturalness, the impression of not coloring, but a long stay in the hot sun, life on the south coast.

But partial coloring of hair ends in bright colors is also called an ombre, if it has soft color transitions.

Bright strands

There are, in fact, two styles (and this is the firstturn refers to bright colors) dyeing the ends of the hair - with a flat border of a new color and own, natural, and with a smooth. The first option was in vogue for a long time, but to surrender to oblivion had not yet time. The second is the ombre.

Today, in order to make yourself a striking strand,go to the salon is optional. Moreover, for a photo session or a party, you can dye your hair so that you can safely wash off the paint in the morning and come to work or study in the strictest style.

Some color strands of ordinary wax crayonsor so-called "chalk for hair" - and that, and that gives a bright color, but it dries very much the hair, even if applied only for a couple of hours. In addition, crayons are not always suitable for brunettes or girls with bright blond hair. For ombre is better to use a special colored powder for hair and eyebrows - it is washed out with shampoo and equally brightly color both light and dark hair.

What is needed for a bright ombre at home:

- powder for hair and eyebrows (one or several colors, in this master class shows colorings with three, two and five colors);

- wadded disks;

- gloves (polyethylene);

- Hairspray (weak fixation, the most light structure).

Let's start painting:

Step 1. It is necessary to paint clean, freshly washed and dried hair, or at least hair washed no more than a day ago. Dampen the cotton ball with water and squeeze it - it should be wet, but not wet. Wear gloves.

Step 2. Separate the first strand of hair (the thickness of each strand should not be more than 5 cm, otherwise the hair will not paint well). Put a moist cotton pad under the hair, and on top press the open powder-box with the powder of the desired color. With pressure, draw along the hair at the same time with a disc and a compact, and repeat until you get a tint of the desired intensity.

But do not overdo it - powder should not be strewed withhair. The color at this stage, if you are staining a strand in several colors, should occupy only a part of the strand, but be "longer" than you plan - for example, in a photo the yellow color is about 6 cm, and when the strand is painted with the next color, from yellow will only be 3 cm. This is necessary in order to make smooth color transitions, characteristic for ombre.

Step 3. Repeat with the second color. It should be applied approximately from the middle of the area painted with the first color. Increase the intensity of the pressure toward the end, and on the area where the two colors are mixed, on the contrary, press a little easier. Do the same with all the remaining colors that you selected until the strand is painted to the end.

Step 4. Fix the paint on the strands with a varnish and let it dry.

Step 5. Repeat for each strand you want to paint. Done! Strands can be braided in a pigtail (the "colored" pigtails look especially beautiful), decorate with beads or leave the hair loose. If you select several colors, the lightest of them should be applied first.
