the 3 step process to ombre hair at home
coloring your own hair is tricky. luckily, we’ve got your back :) we’re going to break down the steps of coloring your ombre hair at home into 3 simple steps.
- PREPARE
- COLOR
- RINSE
let’s dive in.
step #1 prepare
SECTION THE HAIR into 4 sections. start from your part and split your hair directly down the middle and divide the two sections vertically in half. try to separate the hair as evenly as possible. it doesn’t have to be perfect, but you don’t want to have large chunky sections and tiny sections. (trust us, things will get messy.) when you’re done, it should look like this:
this is going to keep your life SIMPLE, EASY, and ORGANIZED while dying the hair. now that you’re all sectioned off, it’s time to dye.
step #2 color
wrap up in your handy-dandy cape and grab a pair of gloves. you’re going to want to start from the back and only work on one section at a time.
take thin enough sections so you know that the color has saturated the hair. as you approach the sections near your face, start at the top so that you are able to flip the hair back as you work and not worry about it again.
AVOID COLORING THE LIGHTER ENDS OF YOUR HAIR WITH THE DARKER COLOR AT ALL COSTS. for this color specifically, we do not need to color the ends. the rinsing process will bleed the color down and refresh the lighter color. depending on the type of color you have, you may want to recolor the ends with the appropriate shade to refresh it.
a few things to remember when dying ombre hair at home:
- do not comb the color through. the dark color will get pulled through into the lightened area and you’ll have quite a mess on your hands.
- be gentle. color softly with your brush. make sure the hair is saturated with dye, but don’t color heavy-handed.
- try not to rush. despite the fact that you’re coloring your hair at home due to a lack of time in the salon, you want to take your time.
step #3 rinse
once the waiting game is over, it’s time to rinse your hair. MAKE SURE THE WATER IS ICE COLD. warm water kills hair color and touch-ups are no exception. there’s no specific washing pattern you need to follow, just shampoo the roots.
do not shampoo the colored portions if you want to stretch the life of your color.
note: if the ends of your hair are white or another extremely white color, it will require an entirely different washing pattern.
