L'Oréal Colorista Effect Ombre Hair, Brunette

Product Information

If you’re trying to keep costs low and don’t have experience with dying hair, this is the perfect option for your new look. We’ll let you in on a little secret. Creating your own balayage hair at home is actually much easier than it looks. In this tutorial, we’ll tell you everything you need to know to get vibrant blonde balayage hair at home in just a few simple steps. With the ends coated, use your applicator brush to apply your colour mixture up to the point where your hair elastics are secure. Make sure you work the colour in thoroughly across all sections. Then, one-by-one, remove your elastics and apply one last brush through with the applicator brush from the tops of your dyed sections to the very tips. Regular trims are the best way to remove the damage and keep your hair healthy. If you avoid haircuts because you like to keep your style long, consider a hair dusting over a regular trim.

As with all colouring kits a 48 hour before sensitivity test is a must. Plus remember to do a strand test (Especially important with bleach) to know how long to process. This kit recommends anything from 25-45 minutes with the bleach processing. After the bleach has processed I generally rinse the bleach out, shampoo my hair with my regular shampoo and then apply the conditioner in the kit. Here are my results.This strengthening duo works to strengthen color-treated hair inside and out by reinforcing weak hair bonds. Ombré hair requires bleach and this system strengthens your bleached hair as it protects against future damage. As we mentioned earlier, it is possible to turn the dip dye process into a two step one for further flexibility and colour choice. Repeat the above process with a product designed for ombré lightening, like L’Oreal Paris Colorista Ombré, and then follow it up with your favourite colour (or colours!), like L’Oreal Paris Colorista Washoutfor maximum levels of self expression. More on that later. Allow the dye to develop for 25 to 45 minutes, depending on your natural hair colour and the level of intensity you want. Every person’s hair reacts differently to hair dye, so use the allergy alert test to ensure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients in your dye of choice. Alternatively, wipe the mixture off a small section of hair after 25 minutes to see how the colour is developing. Leave on to develop between 25 to 45 minutes depending on your desired ombré intensity. To see if light enough, clean a small piece of hair using gloved fingers after 25 minutes. If not light enough, spread mixture through again and continue to develop. Never exceed a total developing time of 45 minutes.

While many people think dip dyed hair and ombré are one and the same, colourists will tell you that is not actually the case. The two techniques differ considerably when it comes to how the looks are created.First and foremost, as with any at-home product, take your time and read the instructions inside the box ahead of any colour application. There’s no better way to ensure that you’re fully equipped to achieve the look you’re after. With your hair sections mapped out and ready to go, the next step is to mix the dye. Following the instructions is paramount for minimising damage or user error here. Create your colour according to instructions, then mix well in the bottle provided in your kit. Then, get ready to colour! To keep it looking fresh, simply trim the ends when needed and make sure to focus on brightening the lighter sections with a toner or toning shampoo. Now, open the other box and apply the mixture again, this time just apply it to the bottom couple of inches of your hair. Use the same technique as before, working the solution into your hair to create a blended look. Add a pop of colour to your dip dye, such as hot pink or lavender using our vibrant 1- day Colorista Sprays, or, if you’re really looking to go wild, consider adding an array of different shades to your dip dye for maximum colour fusion. Who says unicorn hair is only for those willing to fully commit? L’Oreal Paris Coloristahas a huge range of products designed specifically to help you get your creativity flowing and a dip dyed style is unquestionably the perfect place to start.

While you won’t need to get your hair touched up as often when you’re sporting ombré hair color, you will need to maintain regular haircuts every eight to ten weeks. As we mentioned, ombré hair requires bleach which can make your strands more susceptible to hair breakage and split ends. Bleached hair can succumb to brassy tones so curb them with a purple shampoo like the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Brass Toning Purple Shampoo. With purple dyes, this shampoo neutralizes unwanted yellow and orange tones in highlighted blonde, bleached and silver hair. Depending on how often you wash your hair, aim to use it every few shampoos or once a week. But what if you’re not ready to go maximum vibrancy just yet? If this sounds like you, it could be time to dip your toe (or, more accurately, your hair strands) into the great, wild world of dip dye. description":"Ombré hair has been one of the most popular trends of recent years. It’s literal translation from French means ‘shaded’. One key reason for its popularity is that it’s great for those looking for a low-maintenance colour. By creating a natural-looking, two-tone effect, ombré hair removes the need to top up your roots every few weeks.What both ombré and dip dye styles have in common is a finished product that showcases darker roots and lighter, or brighter, ends. Beyond that, ombré hair colour is known for its soft gradient effect, as if blended with an artist’s paint brush to transition subtly between shades. Dip dyed hair, on the other hand, has a blunt, stark appearance – almost resembling a vertical yin and yang contrast that’s perfectly placed for an it-girl hair statement. This approach to dip dye makes it easier to achieve at home, as the gradient requires less blending.
