Men say women change their hair color and style all the time. Women's pursuit of interesting accents, stunning looks and, in general, variety has resulted in many new hair coloring techniques. The top color trends have conquered our world and not without reason. One can enjoy two or even more hair colors at the same time. It even looks great on relatively short hair, for example ombre bob hairstyles.
A versatile hairstyle for every hair type
Today, uniformly colored hair is old-fashioned and boring. Small accents can have a big impact. From natural to rich in contrast, to sophisticated and extravagant, to the most extreme – the multi-faceted onesOmbreBob looks offer lovers of practical short and medium lengths. Everything you could wish for.
Have an ombre bob done
AtBob and lob hairstylesWe recommend relying on the experienced hands of a hair stylist. Maybe ladies with long hair can achieve the effect at home, but with not so long hair it's much more complicated. In this case, possible errors cannot be hidden.
The ombre hair coloring technique is also well suited for women with relatively short hair. It combines different shades of color – two, three or more are possible. The hairline remains in the natural hair color, in most cases brown, some of the hair lengths, but generally the tips are then lightened and, if desired, colored in a color.
Also suitable for fine hair
This statement look is also suitable for fine, thin hair. Then a natural effect is usually recommended - with a few highlights along the entire length of the hair that create smooth transitions. Depending on the look you are aiming for, the color is applied with a brush or free hand.
Ombre vs. Dip-Dye
Ombre is a light version of the so-called dip-dye hair coloring technique. The biggest difference lies in the transition between the colors, with dip dye being clearly visible, while with ombre the tips are only lightened by a few shades through a flowing color gradient. It is characteristic of both of them that the color is only used in the lower area.
This look is very multifaceted and has many variations possible. You can now choose from the entire color palette. Above all, stylists recommend opting for a flowing, milder color gradient for the shorter bob variant - chin or shoulder length. Fine highlights around the face can transform your entire appearance with little effort.
Tips for a natural look
For a layered, short bob, professionals tend to advise against ombre. Alternatively, a color that is two to three shades lighter is applied to the tips and flows to the hairlines. Another color trend is recommended – tortoiseshell. Here, fine highlights are evenly distributed throughout the hair.
The classic oneBob hairstyleis very suitable for every face shape and is relatively easy to style. For this reason, she is also very popular among celebrities. Perhaps every Hollywood star once wore their hair styled like this. Ombre effects complement and enhance the look. This makes the classic hairstyle a real eye-catcher.
An ombre bob or lob hairstyle flatters the face and makes it appear oval and slimmer. The optimal hair length that suits everyone is up to the shoulders. Since the emphasis falls on the neck and shoulders, it is an advantage if these are among the advantageous zones.
Who does the Ombre Bob suit?
For example, actress Emily Blunt has a long face and what would be advantageous for her would not be chin length, but around the shoulders or a little longer. She is a fair person with blue eyes, so dark brown and reddish shades, as well as golden to blonde, but not too light blonde, otherwise she looks pale, suit her.
Ombre looks particularly good on women with dark complexions when it is used in stark contrasts. A color gradient in between goes best with brown eyes and naturally dark brown hair
Stylists even recommend that women with tanned skin or dark skin types take the courage to add more light to their hair. Up to 2/3 of the hair length can be colored in gold tones. Of course we are talking about the long ombre bob version here. Bright highlights that frame the face are an excellent trick to visually brighten the face.
Ombre Bob, like other top color trends, mainly treats the ends of the hair. Lightening and bleaching are not harmless treatments and can really strain the hair. Especially if there is no full length of hair that can be shortened by 2-3 centimeters if necessary. Then top care is simply required.
Care for the ends of the hair
Applying conditioner to the ends of your hair every time after washing your hair is a must for colored hair and is part of your daily hair care routine. No-rinse hair treatment, especially suitable for colored or lightened hair, is also recommended.
Lightened or bleached hair can quickly lose its shine and shine. To prevent this from happening, you should use high-quality hair oils. These are particularly recommended for damaged and dry hair. High-quality products cover the hair with a protective film and protect it from UV rays, which means the color lasts longer.
Not necessarily blonde: great alternatives to the classic
Ombre Bob comes in many variations and shades. Caramel and copper shades look particularly good on women with a cool undertone, like Emma Stone. This makes her blue-green eyes stand out particularly well.
A wavy ombre bob looks great especially in light copper or reddish shades. The waves themselves represent a free spirit and a sporty nature. If your natural hair is not wavy, you can quickly create it with a curling iron. You have to pay attention to sensible heat protection.
Red is a striking hair color in itself. In the version as an ombre bob it is softened somewhat by the dark undertone, but still. The special nuance comes into its own best with this bob length.
Eye-catching colors go particularly well with naturally dark hair color, such as black or dark brown, because they create a real contrast. Hair tips in: turquoise, red, purple, green, gray or even blonde are typical and recommended combinations.
Teal blue and gray are some of the most eye-catching ombre looks. Stylists recommend choosing black or dark brown as the base tone for the color gradient. In addition, a hair length from the chin is advisable and is therefore suitable for the long bob variant.
Gray tips create an extreme contrast to the black mane. The color change has a stronger effect on straight hair. Curls take away the visual harshness of the contrast and make Gardient hair appear softer.
Dying your hair brightly and colorfully is as much of a trend as color blocking in fashion. Depending on the situation, the look can be interpreted as powerful or in pastel tones. One thing is guaranteed: stand out!
Although the ombre look doesn't seem boring at all, brave women simply want more color in their hair. This is already possible with the latest hair coloring technology, Fluid Hair Painting. It is done on naturally light or bleached hair when it is placed on a table and then the strands are dyed in different colors. A subtle version that is sure to attract just as many admiring glances can be made in pastel tones.
Back to the Ombre Bob, but this time in a really eye-catching version - main color gray with hair tips in purple. The ends of the hair are only tinted and the hair is bleached beforehand. But you have to be clear - the gray tint and the purple wash off relatively quickly.
Naturally light or lightened hair can be tinted in different shades in a really varied and playful way. It's always about a tint that comes off with washing. This means you can, for example, dye the ends of your hair differently every two weeks.
In this ombre version, the hairlines are colored more conspicuously. A light base hair color is also required here so that the delicate pink nuance comes into its own. Variants in other delicate shades are also possible. As already mentioned, you can play with the tint.
If someone has always dreamed of looking like a mermaid, this is a great opportunity, even if you don't have a cross-length mane. Short hair can also be tinted in green-blue shades and it doesn't take more than four minutes. This particularly interesting variation of Ombre Bob is also more suitable for light or bleached hair.
A similar effect can be achieved if the hair is naturally dark. However, the length of the hair needs to be lightened. The blue color is then applied.
