The term "ombré" is French and means "shadow". If hair is dyed in the ombré style, the lengths and tips are lighter, while the roots are dyed dark or left natural. Any combination of colours is possible and there are no limits to creativity.
Since natural hair is usually darker at the roots than at the tips due to sun bleaching, you can achieve quite natural results with the ombré dyeing technique. For this you need the right shades and blend carefully. Even if it may seem that way at first glance, it is not that easy to achieve a beautiful result with a soft transition. If you were to just apply the colour to the lengths and tips without paying attention to the transition, you would get a harsh-looking result in the dip-dye style.
We offer a wide range of ombré shades. There is the classic Ombré , where the upper third of the hair is dark and the lower two thirds lighter. For our customers who have only a few centimeters of dark roots, there is also the Root variant . One sixth of the hair length is dark, while the mid-lengths and tips are light. Depending on which variant you choose, there are ombré extensions in brown, blonde, or both in combination.
One reason why this hair colour trend is popular, is that, unlike with global colour application, you don't have to go to the hairdresser once a month to get a touch-up. You can let your hair grow without having to worry about unsightly roots. Many of our customers have naturally dark hair, but still want a beautiful highlight effect. Thanks to our hair extensions in Ombré or Root, this is possible without bleaching. As long as the shades harmonise and the colour of the extensions matches your own hair, you can create beautiful highlights by using ombré-extensions.
Ombré and balayage are two popular hair colouring techniques that are often confused but produce different results.
Ombré describes a colour gradient that typically goes from darker roots to lighter tips. With this technique, the transition is often clearly visible and can create a striking contrast between the colours. The effect is often more dramatic and works well for people who want a noticeable change.
Balayage, on the other hand, is a freehand colouring technique where the colour is applied to the hair in gentle streaks. The colour is applied in a more natural and irregular pattern, resulting in a soft, sun-kissed look. Balayage provides a more subtle change that often appears softer and requires less maintenance as the roots are less noticeable as the hair grows out.
In summary: While ombré offers a clear colour gradient with more contrast, balayage provides a softer, natural look. Both techniques can be adapted to individual preferences and hair types to achieve the perfect style.
