What is ombre?
Ombre as a staining technique first appeared in California in 2013. As soon as the fashionable technique was noticed by Hollywood stars, it migrated to the masses, quickly taking a leading position there. The essence of this staining is to create the so-called shadow (the transition from light tips to dark roots). This transition can have both clear boundaries and be smooth. Ombre creates the effect of regrown hair roots, or hair that is burnt out in the sun. However, this does not look ugly. On the contrary, high-quality coloring gives its owner a special charm and Hollywood chic.
