Ambra on long hair will help to create any female representative with a stylish and attractive image. This is probably why Hollywood stars so often do it to themselves.
What is ombre?
Many girls really like the effect of burnt strands, so in the summer they try to be in the sun as often as possible in order to achieve the desired result. However, such curls are very easy to obtain with the help of ombre, which is also called "summer staining." This procedure is able to give the female image freshness and charm, as well as visually make the hairstyle more voluminous. Ambra looks good on long, medium and short hair. Properly selected, it will decorate the hair of any girl.
The history of the staining method
For the first time, California surf lovers introduced ombre fashion. Engaged in this sport, the girls spent a lot of time under the sun. Their hair partially burned out due to the influence of scorching rays, and then, when the roots grew, a smooth beautiful transition from dark to light turned out. This was quickly noticed by stylists. So there was a new type of hair coloring - ombre.
After a similar effect was experienced by most Hollywood stars, the popularity of the procedure has increased significantly. She began to use success not only in women, but also in men with long hair. Besides the fact that ombre makes it possible to experiment with color, it also helps to save on the services of a hairdresser. After all, once having dyed the lower part of the hair, do not worry that the roots will grow back and you will have to carry out the whole procedure again.
What are the types of ombre?
The versatility of this style is its main advantage. The effect of “solar locks” will suit any type of hair, however, girls with large curls of curls should be especially careful when dyeing.
The following types of ombre are:
- classic (smooth transition, in which two tones are combined, mainly natural colors are selected, ranging from light brown to coffee);
- the opposite (the technique is the same as in the first embodiment, but here a light shade is applied to the roots, and the ends of the hair are painted darker);
- transverse (a gradual transition from a light shade to a brighter one, most often achieved by highlighting and further shading);
- sharp (the name speaks for itself, since the transition between two saturated colors should be noticeable);
- color (fantasy technique, because you can choose any color, even the most unusual one, pink and purple ends look good on fair hair, and on dark - blue and green).
Dyeing recommendations for hair of different lengths
For owners of hair to the waist and girls with a haircut to the shoulders, there are different options for applying color.
- Ambra on long hair will look good if you use transverse dyeing. Three tones are used here, from dark to light. Moreover, the line of transition between them should be tried to make less noticeable. The amber looks interesting on long hair with a bang, which is either left the same color with the root zone of the head, or partially dyed.
- Medium length hair requires a classic look. The roots remain dark, and somewhere from the temples or a little higher the hair is made light. You can add asymmetry here by coloring individual curls in "blonde" tones.
- Short strands need to be highlighted with paint almost from the roots, since it is more difficult to create an ombre effect. However, a smooth transition can actually be done on such hair, the main thing is that it be early.
Successful haircuts for owners of the ombre effect
According to the advice of stylists, girls painted in the ombre technique, a cascade is suitable. This haircut is done in tiers. With its help, the curls on which the paint was applied will shine and shimmer in different colors. A classic ombre also accentuates the elegant shape of a bob and bean haircut. For those who like short strands, balayazh is suitable - the style of "summer coloring", which is created as a result of applying wide strokes. So the transitions will become invisible, and the curls will be shining, although the amber - dyeing on long hair - in any case, will look more interesting.
Ombre in combination with different hair colors
Most often, this procedure is done by blonde girls belonging to the spring color type. Mostly they have a golden skin tone and gray or blue eyes. For coloring, they can recommend warm colors, but in general, blondes will use any of the types and colors of ombre. This will only emphasize their femininity and attractiveness.

Others will think that this is the natural hair color of their owners, which only burned out in the sun. So, girls with light brown curls can also experiment with ombre. You can try using contrasting shades, which with the help of a game of color will add an image of courage and looseness.
Ambra on long black hair will emphasize the beauty of their owner. Girls with the "winter" color type , whose hair has resin shades, will suit the classic color option.

Hair dyeing procedure
In a beauty salon or hairdresser, before painting your head in ombre style, the strands will first be carefully prepared for this. Then the master, guided by the color of the hair, will talk about the types of this dyeing. In case of doubt or lack of knowledge of what is best for the look, ask to make yourself a classic version.
Next, you need to show the master where the transition to a lighter or darker color should begin from. It’s best to lower it. Then it will not seem to anyone that these are just overgrown roots, and a smooth transition will look especially good.
The last step towards achieving the ombre effect will be the choice of paint, the color of which should be different from the native one. Here, everything already depends on the length of the hair: the longer the curls, the brighter the ends need to be made. This solution will help to easily achieve a smooth transition. Painting amber on long hair will give the image romance and tenderness.
How to dye your hair yourself?
In order to complete the staining with the ombre effect at home, it is necessary to have auxiliary materials:
- a comb with rare teeth;
- a special brush that helps to apply paint;
- foil (you can take food), cut into equal squares about 10x10 cm;
- cellophane gloves so as not to get your hands dirty;
- elastic bands or special clips;
- hair dye.
Before staining, you need to comb the curls. It is advisable that they are not very clean. Next, they must be distributed on the same thickness of the strands, as it is convenient for anyone, and secured with rubber bands or clips. Then take the paint and, carefully reading the instructions for it, mix the main components.
The ends of the strands separately must be stained for 5-7 cm in length. Then wrap them in foil and wait 5-10 minutes. If desired, the exact time can be calculated based on the instructions for the paint. You should also consider what height should be before the transition. After that, the hair is taken out of the foil and dye is applied again. Here you need to take 10 cm from the end.
The whole procedure with a subsequent increase in length is carried out somewhere else 3-5 times, and then the composition is finally washed off with a strand. Last time you should not keep the dye on your hair for more than 5 minutes. After staining, do not forget to comb the strand, so the composition will be smoothly applied to neighboring curls. Now it’s clear how to dye the amber on long hair.

Many women like ombre because it helps to make light or dark accents on the hair in the right places. This is a kind of compromise between a brunette and a blonde for those who do not dare to completely repaint or change their native color. You can not be afraid of the dryness of the tips, if you then properly care for them. The risk of ruining the strands is minimal. “Summer staining” will look beautiful if you make styling in waves or curl curls.
Some girls who have dyed their hair light for a long time believe that ombre is a good way out of the blond. After all, while the roots grow back, the ends can be slightly toned or a smooth transition from their color to the already colored strands can be made. Then someone, gradually cutting their hair, returns to a natural tone, and someone starts to like the ombre. This effect looks especially good on brown hair, as those around take it simply for strands burnt out in the sun. Everything looks very natural and natural.
