The
ombre hair trend has been massive over the last year and it’s a style
that is looking to be a popular hair trend for this year too! The style
has been seen on many celebs such as Mila Kunis, Whitney Port, Lauren
Conrad and Caroline Flack. The ombre hair trend can look gorgeous, but
there have been a few celebs to give it a go with very contrasting
shades that just look like they need their roots done! The ombre look is
super easy to create using extensions whether your own hair is
currently dyed this way or not. Using extensions to create the ombre
look can also be an oh-so-easy way of changing your style and being bang
on trend without dying your own locks!!
Option
1 - If your hair is dyed one all over shade and you don’t fancy putting
bleach on the tips of your own hair then this is the best option for
you :) Choose the shade that you like and that you think will balance
your current shade and choose a few single wefts of this shade, it’s
probably best to choose a length that isn’t too much longer than your
own hair as these wefts won’t correctly add length, but work perfectly
for peeping under your hair giving the ombre trend. Fit your wefts lower
on your head, but leave enough hair for them not to be visible in the
underneath section of your hair. This will leave the lighter sections of
hair visible on the tips of your own hair and create the illusion of
the ombre look. For a more subtle version of this you can choose a
highlighted shade that has one shade similar to your base shade, for
example if your base is Melted Chocolate choose shade Iced Coffee for
adding a subtle ombre look.
Option
2 - If you are already rocking the ombre trend with your current shades
then the best way of blending in extensions to the style is to shade
match to your lighter hair tips. To create the gradual fade from light
to dark you can dye the top of the wefts up to 2 shades darker and blend
this down to around half of the weft. Remember though Headkandy Hair
Extensions can only be dyed up to 2 shades darker so check that the
resultant shade will blend in with your own darker roots first and don’t
be tempted to bleach darker extensions to create the ombre hair trend!
