What do you think of ombre hair?

Post Reply New Topic

I like the ombre look. The picture in the OP isn't a great instance of it, by my tastes, although I don't think she looks terrible or anything. I don't normally color my hair, so I haven't done it, but now that I think about it, maybe I'll give it a shot next time my hair grows long. On the other hand, it seems like it works best with curly or wavy hair, and I'm not going to try to mess with that.

(I actually used to have a slight ombre-ness to my hair naturally, because I'm one of those people who start out blond and turn brunette around puberty. I kind of liked it, but in my case, it didn't look too great because the old hair was getting that shaggy split-end look from going too long without being cut. It looked like straw.)

I'm not into unnatural hair colors.

Well in that picture I don't like it at all.

If it's done right I think it looks nice. I've done color ombres before.

I like streaks in the hair it gives it some variety and texture and sometimes it look perfect but I don't get this dying the ends of it to make it look like dyed hair that grew out. it really looks stupid and borderline tacky like something a stripper or hooker would do.
Prefer natural combination of ombre/balayage

I can't be bothered with high-maintenance looks; even if the end result looks good (and I have seen ombre hair I liked) I find it silly to spend much time/effort/money on something only for looks when I could be doing something useful (not that I'm feeling particularly useful spending time posting on forums right now.)

That hair colour looks better with warm complexion tones, rather than cool ones I think.

And want to add, good balayage result is not easy to achieve, thus, selecting the right stylist is crucial if you want to get it done right. Moreover, choosing the right color combination can either make or break your new hairstyle.
The goal of the balayage is to give your hair a natural sun-kissed look, so expect the color options to be in between blondes and brunette hues. A good color combination can complement your skin and face easily, so make sure to select hues that match—not clash—with each other[url=http://
On the other hand, thicker hair is also recommended for ombre hairstyles since thicker strands can withstand the bleaching more than thin hair.

I think it is beautiful I especially love rainbow colored ombre. If my hair was longer, I'd maybe try it. However, I don't think it would probably look that good on me. I don't look good with anything too different from my natural color. My friend did a blue and green ombre and it is so pretty. I think she looks like a mermaid. I'd post a photo, but I don't want to without her permission.

Looks amazing also you can select color according to your hairstyle..

I have never heard of or seen the word ombre before now. Where have I been?

I think it looks lovely when done correctly. Might want to try it out myself once my hair reaches past shoulder length.

Ombre hair has become a classic and has a huge following among women. It is not only a style that looks really great on your dark tresses, but it is also quite easy to execute. And, on top of everything, it is quite low-maintenance. There can be a humongous number of hair styles these days, but you can always opt for an ombre hair style, thanks to its alluring qualities we have mentioned earlier. And whether you have straight hair or curly hair, you can easily find the ombre that suits you the best. It can look sophisticated and elegant if you’re opting for a subtle style or dramatic and bold if you use bright colours that stand out.

I like it. I used to have ombre hair myself.

I got balayage style hair, just a messier version of an ombre. I only have to get it coloured once or twice a year and it blends with my greys (waiting for my hair to go full grey to go all natural and have done with expensive colouring). It does my head in paying £20 for a dry trim.
