No matter the color of your hair, an alluring new look can be achieved by selecting a stunning ombre shade. Read on for 2020 ombre ideas that will have you scheduling an appointment at your salon!
Sombre
Seamless blending is at the core of any successful ombre style – select shades that complement or contrast one another for an authentic fade.
The somber hair coloring trend offers a gentler alternative to the trendy ombre hue, providing those seeking darker roots while adding dimension and dimension to their locks. Unlike its dramatic dark-to-light transition, somber allows your stylist to create soft ribbons of color from source to end for seamless transitioning from root to end.
Celeb-approved highlighting techniques use multiple shades to achieve a natural faded effect ideal for covering regrowth, touching up grays, or altering the overall appearance.
Try a warm golden brown style for an easy, sophisticated metallic look that works for any event or mood. Naomi Watts and Regina Hall both favor this shimmering style that keeps roots dark but fades into an eye-catching honey shade, ideal for brunettes who wish to add some drama.
Blonde
No matter your hair length or desired style, blonde ombre is a versatile solution that works on all sizes. Ask your stylist for a subtle fade of honey hues that blend in with darker brown highlights, or go all-out with platinum blonde ends and honey blonde highlights for maximum impact.
Christina Applegate offers an authentic take on the trend by pairing sandy blonde roots with sun-kissed middles and ends to achieve an original beachy style that could pass as natural. Perfect for beachy blondes, rock chicks, and festival bunnies alike!
An inverted blonde ombre shade may be ideal for those with dark locks, as its dark brunette roots gradually become lighter blonde highlights, creating an undistinctive and natural-looking effect over time.
Copper
Copper ombre hair is another trending shade this season, drawing inspiration from precious metals to add the perfect radiance and shine. From deep orange hues to subtle coral tones, copper adds the ideal shimmer.
Those new to ombre should begin with lighter hues and gradually work towards your ideal shade; otherwise, bleaching could significantly damage your locks.
Balayage offers a more natural sun-kissed look than foils and requires fewer touch-ups than highlights. Dark skin tones, deep reds, and copper ombre hair look beautiful when worn against dark-winged eyeliner. Copper ombre also works great paired with natural beach waves for casual chic looks.
Brown
If you love the concept of ombre but prefer something less extreme than blonde, try this stunning brown shade instead. It combines dark roots with lighter highlights for an eye-catching and flattering style.
Ask your stylist for a sandy brown ombre with soft honey tones for the ultimate beachy waves look. Your friends will surely envy this natural hair color choice, and long beachy locks will impress them all.
If you plan to ombre your hair, use a cool or ashy color-depositing toner after bleaching to avoid brassy tones. Also, consider washing it no more than twice weekly to maintain healthy locks and prevent premature breakage; this will allow for an extended ombre effect. If a whole brown ombre isn’t for you, ask your stylist about adding champagne highlights instead!
Gold
Gleaming gold highlights look spectacular against the natural brown hair color. Pair it with entire eyebrow stroking, a low bun, and water waves for an eye-catching style that makes your eyes pop.
If you want to add drama and elegance to your ombre hairstyle, try rose gold as a bold choice. It pairs perfectly with warm skin tones while giving an air of sophistication to your look.
If you want a partiallete brunette look, ask your stylist to add light gold streaks as an ombre shade that complements any complexion and works particularly well if your hair has a texture like Regina Hall’s blonde wavy bob. This beautiful look makes any head turn!
