Ombre'

I am aware that I jumped on the ombre bandwagon a little late... but the reason I chose to dye my hair ombre was merely to conceal the look of my natural blonde hair growing out.

Firstly, I dyed all of my hair using Nice' n Easy 'Natural Medium Ash Blonde' 106. I matched this colour to my roots so when my natural blonde hair starts to grow out you won't see a huge contrast. If you have dark hair and your roots are unnoticeable than you don't need to do this step.

Than it was OMBRE' time!!!

The box I chose was L'Oreal ombre for blondes (the last box in the pic)...basically its a bleach bottle and a brush. This step can also be achieved using any hair dye that reads: light blonde/ light bleach blonde/ bleach

IMPORTANT**After reading the instructions on the L'Oreal ombre box I knew they had it completely backwards (don't believe everything you read). The box instructed me to put apply the dye mid way on my hair shaft so basically right at my ears. Okay, i'm no hair expert but the longer you leave hair dye in the more it develops and the lighter the hair. So why would I want the lightest part of my ombre to start mid way down my hair? Complete nonsense

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO>>> is apply the hair dye at your tips (3 inches from your ends) leave it in for about 10 mins AND do not wash it out!!!. Than with a brush apply 3 inches of dye above the previous application and leave for another ten minutes...then do the same until you reach the mid section of your hair. Depending on the length of your hair and the variation between the hues of blonde you can gage how many inches you want to dye each section until you reach the middle of your hair. Just be sure to not leave the entire dye in for over 40 mins!

TIPS
- Use a brush to apply the hair dye to give a smoother transition between the blonde hues
-When you apply the dye overlap each section a little so it creates a smooth transition
-Ask a friend to help!!! The back of your hair can be difficult to apply evenly
-Once you wash out all of the hair dye you can always go back and apply more dye to the tips to make them lighter


Ombre' Fail- these bishes must have followed the instructions on the L'Oreal box-DAMN girl!
