First things first what is an Ombre? Ombre is the French word for color that is shaded or graduated in tone.

There are two types of ombre: Traditional, and reverse. The traditional ombre has a lighter color at the tips of your hair than at the roots, while a reverse ombre has darker tips and lighter roots.

Reverse ombre is just a little bit less popular than regular ombre, because it bears a risk of appearing foreign on your beautiful locks. Medium to light toned ladies who love their blonde but want something different and edgy look great in this reverse ombre. Hair texture that is medium to thick

How to achieve the perfect ombre

Step 1: Select your hair color, choosing a color that works well with your natural color is best. You should choose a lighter shade of brown or a shade of blonde.

Step 2: Draw a demarcation line where you want the fade to stop. The lower the fade meets the better it looks.

Step 3: If bundles are installed in head put on an old t-shirt that you wouldn’t mind messing up and comb through your hair thoroughly to ensure even coloring. If bundles are not yet installed place a smock or trash bag on the floor and place bundles on top. you can leave bundles banded up which makes it a lot easier to work with.

Step 4: Put on gloves before dealing with the bleach. You will need to use bleach to lift the color from your hair, use equal parts of whichever volume peroxide you choose and powdered bleach. Mix 2oz each with your choice of volume peroxide and bleach powder until they are combined into a thick creamy consistent mixture.

Step 5: Divide your hair into four even sections. If your hair is long and/or thick, you may want to divide it into more sections. Pin or tie each section off to separate it from the rest. Tease up the hair around the area where you want the ombre to begin. Teasing your hair around this area will help prevent a stark line where you applied the beach.

Step 6: Apply bleach from tips of the hair all the way up to your stopping point and repeat with each section.

Step 7: Let hair sit until it reaches the desired color and then wash the bleach out the hair. Let hair air dry or blow dry the extensions style and you’re ready to rock your hair

 

  

As we mature we make different decisions, we choose to do whatever we want with our bodies. For many, a dye job is fun and fashionable and for others its actually a necessity because its important they cover the grey hair that just appeared from nowhere. What this two class of people have in common is the fact that they desire to have a lasting dye job.

 

 

You can spend a pretty penny on the perfect shade for your tresses. So you want to make sure you don’t wash all that cash and color down the drain. Because it becomes very annoying and frustrating when the dye job stays for only a short period of time before you start getting “psst! your undergrowth is showing” from your friends and family.  What can you do to keep that color where it belongs?

 

 

When you dye your hair, the pigments are held captive inside the hair strands, But anything that can lift the hair shaft’s cuticle, allowing pigment particles to escape, can fade that pretty color. One of the biggest color-stealing culprits? H2O. “Plain water dilutes the pigment and causes it to fade faster,”

Here are 3 ways you can touch-up in between:

Avoid Hot Showers
Hot water doesn’t only dry out your skin; it can decrease the life of your hair color. The temperature opens up your cuticle, releasing your precious color—and moisture. “I always tell my clients to shampoo and rinse with room-temp water, towel dry, condition, then rinse with the coldest water you can stand to seal that cuticle shut,This will provide longer-lasting color, keeping your locks nice and hydrated while also eliminating split ends.”

Swim Smarter
Protect your hair in the sun and chlorine. Use a hair protector with SPF when in the sun, pool, and ocean to keep your color from fading. A product with sunflower oil is great as it also has antioxidants to protect the hair.

 

Don’t Overuse Hot Tools
Staying away from your hot tools the first week after coloring your hair will also help prevent the color from fading, says celebrity colorist Michael Boychuck. Hot tools such as blow dryers and straighteners actually speed up the process of color fading. While these tools are sometimes necessary, it is best to stay away from them the first week or so after you color your hair.

The touch up kit is your friend

If your hair color is already dying out and you don’t have the time or funds to visit the salon then you can use touch up-kit and root pencil provided they match the color on your hair. They would certainly buy you time until your next hair appointment.

Try parting your hair different or try braiding your hair

If you’ve tried everything and yet it fails, then draw attention from your roots by parting your hair in a messy zigzag pattern or you can braid it, this would help the grey’s blend in nicely with the rest of your tresses.

Use a Thermal Protectant
This will protect against heat damage from styling tools. Thermal protectants will help reduce color fade by keeping the integrity of the hair in good condition

Deep Condition Less
While deep conditioning or at-home masks are a good idea before you color, they can fade a rich brunette or vibrant red,  The conditioner or mask is designed to get deep in the hair follicle to moisturize. However, when it’s rinsed out, it takes the color molecule with it—resulting in the color fading. To avoid this, a good daily conditioner will do the trick (just don’t leave it on for a long period of time).

Try a Shower Filter
This will remove chemicals, chlorine, and minerals from your shower water, Hard water strips your hair’s color and natural oils; these filters minimize color rinsing down the drain.

Rethink going Red.  While show-stopping, red hair colors fade the fastest because crimson pigment molecules are larger than browns and blacks, and the most unstable.

 

Typically, the way your hair will turn out depends on the type of shampoo you choose to use, and that is because, the ingredients that go into each different type of shampoo are chosen precisely for the way that they would affect your hair. Of course, there are different kinds of shampoo, and there are ones that are most suitable for a particular hair type.  It is advised one is able to find the one that is most appropriate for one’s hair type. Below however, are the different types of shampoo suitable for different hair types!

 

Short Hair

It is advised that women with shorter strands should not wash their hair every day. But, it is also understood that product build up and natural oils accumulate much faster in this hair type. The solution is to choose a shampoo that will cleanse without stripping your hair of natural oils or leaving your scalp feeling dry.

Fine hair

For this hair type, you will need to wash your hair with a ‘voluminous’ shampoo to add body. It is also best to use a gentle shampoo that can be used for daily or frequent washing. Also, you can use a dry shampoo or talcum powder between washing. Not only will the powder soak up oils, but it adds body as well.  ”

Thick hair

For a thick hair, there is both an advantage and disadvantage. The good side is that you never have to worry about volume. But, managing it can be pretty difficult at times. To get you to a more manageable state, you must watch out for shampoo with ingredients like Nutrium 10 and vitamins B5, C, and E, plus a blend of natural oils, it provides 24 hours of nourished control.”

Coarse hair

This is the driest of all hair types so, it would be best to use super hydrating and creamy shampoos for your thirsty strands. Coconut and macadamia nut oil and Shea butter are great ingredients in your shampoos that will coat the hair shaft and trap the water inside.

 

Color-Treated Hair

If your hair has been color-treated, you need a shampoo that cater for the treatment and keep it looking as fresh as possible.  You are also advised to use color-protecting shampoos, which will contain fewer harsh cleansers and prevent fading. The moisturizers in the shampoo will help restore hair shine and hydrate.  You should also avoid washing your hair more than twice a week, since water is one of the main culprits of color-fading.

Damaged Hair

This kind of hair can get tangle and knotty easily, hence, avoid clear shampoos and use the creamy ones that will smooth, de- tangle and diffuse frizz. A shampoo with detergent will be most appropriate for the hair type.

Textured Hair

It’s vital to avoid shampoo with sulfates of any kind, as they tend to dry out hair. Get a better shampoo that will better enhance your hair texture. It is also advised to look out for a texture enhanced shampoo.

 

The basic goal of using shampoo is to remove all oils, dirt, skin particles, dandruff, environmental pollutants and other contaminant particles that gradually build up in hair, there by leaving the hair clean and fresh. To achieve this goal however, one must ensure familiarization with the shampoo appropriate with the hair types.
