In the French language, ombré means shade or shadow, in the hair color world, ombre is a dramatic two toned hair color effect that is typically darker at the top and lighter on the bottom.
Often, the dark top section is your natural hair color shade and the bottom section is lightened with hair lightener. An ombre hairstyle can also be any color combination from natural blonde, brown or red, or something unconventional like pink, blue, green or purple. It’s versatile, and can be customized and suitable for most long and medium hair lengths.
The biggest difference with ombre hair color is that it’s easy on the budget. You don’t have to touch it up very often since the top section remains dark. The overall look of ombre hair color can change as your hair grows out, therefore your visits to the salon will be far in between.
