Verve Ombre Highlight
Ombre Highlights Are Back In Style
Blog post by Beauty School Fla student: JoAnna Wallace
The Ombre Highlight is a ‘grown out’ highlight look that features a gradual lightening of the hair toward the ends of the hair. The style can be combined with any number of colors, from the more traditional brown to blonde to red head ombres and primary colors.
Many celebrities are sporting the look, from Jessica Biel to Drew Berrymore. When done correctly it is a subtle transition that looks very tasteful and natural.
The look can be achieved a number of ways, but the most traditional method is to section panels of hair from the underside of the hair and take subsections larger than that typical of highlights. Gently tease the hair at the base of the subsection and then place the remaining hair on a foil. Paint the enlightener on the strands a bit farther down from the teased section. The developer (or color, on pre-lightened hair) can be staggered to create a gradual transition. Complete saturation is not essential in this look, because variation creates a more natural look.

Some stylists will also combine thin highlights from the crown down to further enhance the look of a sun-kissed veil.

Ombre Hair! yep its a new hair color style that has been sweaping across the industry.
“Ombre” is a term the hair world kind of took from the French language which means shading or shaded, usually is darker at roots and midshaft and then starts to melt into a lighter shade towards the ends.
This can be achieved usually by incorporating another industry technique called Balayage, which is when you paint color on without any special formation and usually without foils but with ombre foils are used to create the melted look, and to keep other hair from bein colored.
This is a great low-maintanace hair style great for summer time in the sun and there are tons of celebrities are rockin this fab new trend..especially one of my favs Drew Berrymore…check it out!
Ombre hair is when the ends of your hair graduate to another color, usually lighter and blonder. So usually the top part of your hair is darker than the bottom. Ombre, means soft blend of shades, is a transitional haircolor option.
Brunettes can invite that natural shadowed halo back into the crown, leaving summer highlights behind. Blondes can have more earthy buttery tones back to soften the tones. Salma Hayek, Drew Barrymore, and Jennifer Biel all have Ombre techniques in their hair.
In order to achieve this beautiful look you must give your local AVEDA Florida Institute a call and one of the students will be able to help your new look.
