Somethings You Should Know Before Get Ombre Hair

Now I have never colored my hair before, so I had a lot of back and forth before I decided that it was time for a change. I love the ombre hairstyle that has been a trend in hair for a while, so I decided that this is what I wanted my hair change to be. I did a lot of research on it and here are some of the helpful things I learned beforehand, for those of you considering to embrace the trend. (as I am not a stylist and I have not beauty training, this is just some things that I found helpful. 

                          

Know your hair foundation: if you have had your hair colored before, and your roots are now showing, I suggest you have your virgin ombre hair and even all over color, which might make this process a little more pricey. Now if you are like me and you start with your natural color on top and want to keep it that way your cost will be lower and the process probably won’t be as long. I know my ombre is a bit subtle but I don’t think I am quite so adventurous to get the full hair ombre look, and I'm not sure my parents would be too thrilled if I did lol. Sorry about the lighting.

How it’s done: I’m not a stylist so I don’t want to explain the process and get it all wrong, but here is a link if you want to know the process and steps to get ombre hairstyle!!

Ombre Hair Technique

Damage: I haven’t experienced this, but I know a couple people who have had some damage due to the ombre. The bleached areas were a little rough and in California where the sun can be a little intense, mixed with salt water from the beach can leave your ombre hair a little damaged. So make sure you manage it, and go to the salon regularly if you start to see any damage.

If you want to get rid of it: I love my Brazilian ombre body wave hair, so I probably will keep it for a while, but if this look is just not for you, getting rid of it might be a bit of a process. To get rid of the ombre takes more time, money, and color than it takes to get the look, and might cause more damage to your virgin hair bundles with closure. I don’t know the exact process to die it back but I imagine it would probably be a process.

All in all, I say that this hairstyle is a commitment, and you should take some serious thought before you decide. If you do decide and like me are scared of going all the way, I suggest ombre highlights. They are subtle, and beautiful and is a good way to ease yourself into this hairstyle!!
