Melted hair, or more sophisticatedly called “ombre,” refers to the recently made popular hairstyle that involved a “melting” appearance of hair color. This style, sported by celebrities, models, and up-to-date fashion trend-setters involves dark roots that gradually fade to lighter ends.
The melted style or “ombre” look can be done on any hair color, length, or type (can be done subtly or dramatically) and will definitely stick you with the “in-crowd” through this coming summer.
The first step to getting your hair melted correctly is to understand the different techniques behind the color process so you can ask your stylist about the one that works best for you.
1. Teasing Method-The first technique involves teasing your hair at the root and then applying color so that you don’t get a line of color separation directly across your head. Teasing the hair helps the color go on in a more natural way and this method is probably one of the more common melting techniques, especially if you’re using your original color at the root and then fading lighter.
2. Hand-Painted Method-The hand-painted method is a great one but needs to be done by a seasoned cosmetologist. This method involves literally “painting” the hair with color but it’s all done free-hand and with no real method to the madness. Usually, ends are wrapped in a foil and then as the hair closer and closer to the root is colored, it is just laid with foil in between the layers to avoid color bleeding.
3. All-Over Color Method-The all-over color method is what people have to go for who want their root color darker than their natural color. This technique involves putting an all-over darker color at the root and onto the crown of your head and then teasing the hair in the middle to add a slightly lighter shade and the adding even lighter foils to the ends. This method is best for those looking for a more dramatic color change and can be gorgeous but keep in mind, using this much color is going to cost between $160 and $200+ dollars if done correctly and darkening your roots is going to allow your regrowth to show.
