Sombre Hair

SOMBRE HAIR
Whilst we part ways with the ombre trend, don't fret! Gradient hair is definitely hear to stay (yay)! We love this sophisticated take on the look. But, what exactly is sombre hair? The colour transition is much more gradual to create a super natural look. Sporting the root regrowth trend and fading into a smooth blend of strategically placed highlights and lighter tones. This is of course the more soft version of ombre, where ombre hair would usually start lower down and have much more contrast between shades.
Sombre hair appears grown out and looks slightly unkept, but in the most stunning way possible! The gradient usually starts much higher than the ombre we're familiar with. This means you can get away with any regrowth therefore less catch up's at the salon! A lazy girl's hair dream <3 Sombre suits all shades which means blondes, brunettes and every shade in between! It looks gorgeous on pretty much everyone.
Sombre hair is also perfect way to add highlights or for those transitioning to blonde. Highlights are placed strategically to create a smooth cascade. As the focus is on subtlety, the ends of the hair are typically are a brighter shade of natural colour. 2-3 shades lighter creates the most harmonious look. Think Mila Kunis and Rosie Huntington-Whitely. Both stunners are perfect examples of the sombre trend. Love the look but don't want to commit?
