What you need:Colorsilk Ultra light natural blonde hair
color (go buy it at Walmart for $3 for the cheapest price). If you are
wanting your roots to be darker, you will need to color your hair the
darkest color first. I didn’t do this because I wanted to keep the light
brownish red so that it would naturally fade into the blonde.
Step 1: Map it out. Plan how far up you want your ombre to start.
Step 2:Mix together the hair color.
Step 3: Divide
your hair into 6-8 sections and apply hair color to the ends of your
hair and wrap in foil. Be sure to only add dye to the halfway point from
where you want your ombre to start. This will give you room to blend
from one hair color to the next. Save the leftover hair color. You will
need it in step 5.
Step 4: Let the
hair dye sit on your hair for 20-30 minutes. Check your hair under the
foil to see how much your hair color has changed. Once you reach the
desired color, rinse your hair and blow dry the ends.
Step 5: DON’T
FREAK OUT! The first step makes your hair look really tacky because
there will be no fading. It will look like a dark hair color and then
blotchy blonde hair. Yuck. But don’t fret. This is where the magic
happens. You will now use the remainder of your hair color (you probably
won’t use it all) to fade from one color to the next. During this step
you will want to tease each section of hair right where the harsh
transition from brown to blonde starts. Then apply hair color to this
section of hair. The teasing allows the transition to not be in a
straight line. Leave this hair color on for half the time you left it on
in step 3.
Step 6: Wash and condition your hair again. And bam! $3 later you’re looking like a rock star.
