Sombre Hair: Subtle Ombre Styles to Try, Like, Now
1. Medium Brown to Dark Copper
The best thing about the sombre hair technique is that bleach spends way less time on your hair. Bleach can be damaging, and can alter natural curl patterns. This makes sombre hair that much better for naturally curly girls. We love the subtle transition from the natural medium brown to the gorgeous dark copper shade.
2. Brown to Dirty Blonde
See what we said about sombre hair looking natural? To make this sombre hair look so natural, the hair is lightened higher up near the face, and lower towards the back of the head. Keep your bleached ends in good condition by using a weekly hair mask like the Suave Professionals Coconut Milk Infusion Intense Moisture Mask.
3. Red to Ginger Tones
The sombre technique even works great on red hair. If you are itching for a new shade, try lightening the ends and leaving your roots your natural red shade.
4. Chocolate Brown to Caramel
This candy colored hair is a dream. We know that brown hair can feel a little flat so shake up your natural chocolatey shades with warm caramel colored ends. This color change looks gorgeous on long hair and we have a feeling it would look just as great on short hair.
5. Dirty Blonde to Buttery Blonde
Sombre hair totally works on natural blondes, too. We love how lightening up the ends gives a fun beachy look. Keep your sombre as natural looking as possible by starting the color high up, near your part in front and angled down to the back of your head. This will make it look like your hair lightened up while being worn in a ponytail – it’s super flattering. Need more sombre hair inspiration? Check out sombre’s sister balayage.
