What are the benefits of an ombre? | Abingdon | Didcot | Wantage | Oxfordshire

1. Low maintenance: Overwhelmingly, ombre is a big winner when it comes to the maintenance side of hair colour. Often downplayed by salons when considering the longer-term contributors to maintainable hair colours, balayage and ombre are neck and neck. With (typically) natural regrowth there are no harsh regrowth lines and this translates into an easy-to-manage hair colour! Your alternative to ombre is balayage. If you are transitioning from another colour to a balayage, this is known as a balayage transformation.

2.. Enhancement: Ombre adds lightness to your hair. This can enhance it in two ways; namely and most obvious is the aesthetic of lighter ends and second it could offer ‘distraction’ if your hair is fine, flat or just lacking ‘X’. The focus of attention is removed from the negative to the more obvious lightness. In some cases the application of bleach can too present the illusion of thicker hair. Ombre hair colour adds depth and dimension to your hair, making it appear fuller and more voluminous.

3. Medium-long hair: Most haircuts whether medium or long are compatible with an ombre. Hair that is shorter than chin length will likely struggle to achieve the full benefits.

4. Commitment: If you feel that you would benefit from lightening your hair  yet don’t want to commit to anything more radical, ombre is a fantastic alternative. It allows you to experiment with lighter colours without sacrificing on needing regular maintenance in the form of monthly or bi-monthly salon visits.
