Ombre hair dyeing process

Prepare the necessary tools:kitchen sponge or brush for application, glass container for breeding, plastic or rubber gloves, wooden or plastic comb with fine teeth, hairdressing clips, baking paper or foil, paint or brightener, towel, silicone bands for African braids, olive, corn or Burr oil.

1. Remove from the hair gum, barrettes and other devices. Brush each strand with a massage brush, starting from the tips and smoothly moving towards the roots. Now you need to determine the place from which the ombra will begin. Professionals recommend not to rise too high, because it will seem that you have not ombre, but strongly regrown roots. The optimal transition length varies from the start of the chin to the shoulder line.
2. The procedure is carried out in a well-ventilated area. Open the windows, do not let children and pets in the room. Prepare a tool that will be stained. You can choose ordinary paint, it is more gentle, besides, manufacturers produce products specifically for the ombre technique.If the choice fell on bleach, dilute in equal amounts 18% hydrogen peroxide with the purchased brightening agent in the form of a gel or powder. Bring the composition to a homogeneous mass. Such a drug very dry hair, but copes with the task in one procedure.
3. Divide hair with a comb into 2 partings on the left and right side. Move from the hairline at the forehead to the occipital region. After that, make 3 tails, using tight elastic bands. Re-comb the tails and dismiss one of them. Divide the hair into 10 thin strands, fix each strand separately using African elastics. If you have thick and long hair, divide the shock not into 10, but into 12-14 sections. Now take one of ten thin strands, fix the small elastic at the level of the ear and start making the strands, moving from the tips to the place of fixation. Maneuver needs to be made in order that transition from natural color to a dyed hair looked harmoniously, but did not form the accurate line. Do the same with all 9 locks, then dissolve the second tail, divide it, fix and re-nash.Repeat the manipulation with the third tail, after which you can begin applying the brightening complex.
4. Stir the composition once more in a bowl to pick up the settled pigments. Scoop up some paint on the brush, it should be slightly damp, remove the excess from the edges of the container. With barely perceptible movements, run the brush along the tips of the strand, gradually rise up to the place of the pile, but do not put paint on it yet. It is not necessary to use a lot of clarifier in the first approach at once, do everything smoothly in a few steps. Now comb the painted strands with a comb and proceed to the next application.
5. Dip the brush in the composition, collecting 2 times more bleach than the first time, again cover the strands, but so that they are not wet, but wet. Carefully paint each hair, rotate the lock in your hand, fingering to see the unpainted areas. Move also from the tips to the roots. When you reach the place of your hair, wipe the brush on the edge of the bowl and lightly move along the border of the transition. Do not press down so as not to go deep. Pay attention to a particular attention, the final result depends on it.Go through all the other curls, paint them in 2 stages, do not spend one step more than 30 minutes.
6. You evenly distributed 2 layers of paint, so you can go to the third touch. Type on the brush a lot of clarifier, carefully paint over 4 cm. The tips of each curl on all three tails. After that, dip the brush in the paint and squeeze a little on the edges of the bowl. Move again from the tips upwards, having reached the transition zone, you should have a minimum amount of clarifier on your brush. Again, gently process the rubbed with short strokes, do the same with the rest of the curls. After that, you need to wrap the strands in baking paper or foil, but first make sure that you do not overdo it with paint in the lash. Then loop through the lengths with your hands along the entire length to find poorly painted areas. What you need, correct.
7. Expand the foil, using a ruler to tear it into long pieces about 8 cm wide. Make the blanks based on your hair length. Now wrap each processed strand with a piece of foil, wrap in such a way as to capture 5 cm. Of native color.When everything is ready, note the time, it is important not to overdo the composition. For intensive clarification you need to keep the paint for half an hour or a little more. If you wish not to whiten your hair too much, wait 20-25 minutes. For those who want to achieve clarification of just 1 tone, it will be enough for 10 minutes. To check how much the curls are lightened, you need to unfold one piece of strand, remove some paint in an inconspicuous area with gloved hands, and then evaluate the result. If you have any doubts, expand one or two more locks, do the same. When you are satisfied with the result, do not tighten with a wash.
8. It is time to wash off the composition. Take 2 tight elastic bands and wrap the gloves around their wrists, since the procedure is forbidden to be performed with bare hands. Cut with African scissors with manicure scissors that held the hair in the transition area. Dip your head over the bathtub or sink, rinse each curl with warm water, otherwise the bleach will not be washed, and the procedure will continue in the background. Direct the stream of water from the top down, try not to touch the colored strands to unpainted hair, so as not to lighten the additional areas. Now use shampoo, wash your head not 2-3 times, as usual, but 4-5 times.After you are sure to remove all the paint, squeeze the strands and apply a thick layer of balsam, wait 10 minutes. Rinse well, wrap your head with a light towel, do not rub your hair, let the moisture soak into the fabric. After 20 minutes, spread all the brightened strands of olive, burdock or corn oil, put on a shower cap, wait another 40 minutes. Again, wash your hair with shampoo with balm, make styling.
