Colorist’s advice: Denis used two products – Frost and Tips to bleach the tips and a semi-permanent color from Clairol’s Natural Instincts collection. It’s important to choose a neutral shade close to your natural hair color.

Follow the Ombré technique step by step:

N.B. Read the instructions; use the gloves provided in the box before using any color; do an allergy test 48 hours before use; perform a strand test to predict results if you’re not used to using a hair color product or this particular brand.

Move your hair forward and tease up the tips with your fingers or use a comb if necessary. This will allow you to create unevenness in the color. This hair toward the front application technique will create a fabulous and natural cascade effect.

1. Prepare the Frost and Tip solution.

2. Put on the gloves and apply the product to the tips with your fingers. Don’t apply to more than 10 cm of the tips. Let work for 10 to 15 minutes. This is a bleach that will act to create the light effect.

3. Rinse the tips. Dry your hair.

1. Prepare the Natural Instinct solution.

2. Put on the gloves and apply the product over all your hair. Let work for 10 minutes.

Rinse with warm water.

Use your inbox Color Conditioning Treatment to condition your hair. Leave on for 3-5 minutes. Rinse and style. Your roots will be brilliant and the color will roll over the tips to bring light. Light creates movement. And it’s movement that gives your hair beauty.
