The truth is, ombre is no longer trendy nowadays. At present, fairly new colouring techniques such as babylights, ronze, bronde, tortoiseshell, splashlight seem to have much more followers. The thing that connects all the methods is producing a three-dimensional effect on hair. What are the main characteristics and what are the outcomes produced by the particular method of hair dyeing?
Babylights can be perceived as a freshened version of baleyage. During the colourization of strands, a hairdresser tries to obtain the lightest possible shade that still looks natural. This kind of colouring can be performed on each hair colour, without exceptions. The most profound outcomes though, are obtained when the procedure is performed on the strands placed near face. The truth is, babylights may just look like a classic baleyage which provides fairly considerable lightning up of hair. In fact, hair transformed due to this technique are lighter yet slightly. The hairstyle keeps its original look even up to a few months – we do not have to be bothered with the roots.
In short, ronze is a combination of reds and bronzes. This kind of a technique depends on combining the dyes in such a way to obtain hair of copper-like tones and warm shade of bronze colour. What is more, ronze will help you save poorly-dyed hair. Red-and-brown strands of hair look good on women who have light-pink or velvet face skin. Unfortunately, ronze tends to transform itself into an orange-like or a carrot-like shade. For that reason, it is suggested using cosmetics designed especially for hair dyed on the very shade.
Bronde combines brown and blond shades. In short, brown shade is mixed with light strands, which are not that bright to be confused with neither blond nor platinum. Bronde is a good solution for brown-haired women who are getting ready for lightening up their hair. All that has to be taken into account though, brond is fast to fade away. Therefore, remember to apply appropriate cosmetics, and remember also to freshen up of the colour regularly.
Tortoiseshell is a variation of well-known ombre technique. It depends on blending brown strands of different shades like chocolates, chestnuts, caramels, etc. in order to obtain a particular effect – a kind if a colour scheme similar to the one of a turtle shell. Hairstyle of tortoiseshell gives a three-dimensional and, what is even more important, natural outcome. And what is more, it facilitates boosting hair volume, yet only optically, but still. The lighter strands should be located near the face whereas the darker ones near the back of the head. Hair dyed in such a way stays true up to several months.
Splashlights is yet another hair dyeing technique that should remind natural shine of strands. A hairdresser’s task is to highlight the part of hair that is located below ear line. The hair that are above should remain darker. If you are having splashlights done for the first time, pick the shades that are the most similar to each other. In other words, do not try to get high contrast between the shades. What is more, it is also advisable to highlight hair ends and hair roots a little bit. Last piece of information, treat your newly dyed strands with the cosmetics designed for baleyage.
