6. Honey-Dipped Ombre
The honey-dipped ombre is a striking, high-contrast look that focuses entirely on the ends of the hair. By keeping the top half of your head a deep, solid brunette and dipping the bottom half in a brilliant, sun-drenched honey, you create a dramatic and beautiful transition. This style is perfect for long hair, as it allows for a long, gradual fade from dark to light. It is a very trendy, fashion-forward look that is surprisingly easy to maintain, as you only need to trim the lightened ends as they grow out, ensuring your roots remain healthy and natural.
How to Make
Apply a deep-brunette color to the roots and mid-lengths, ensuring a solid, opaque application. For the bottom four to five inches of your hair, use a strong lightener to lift the hair to a very pale honey-blonde. Once the ends are lightened, apply a bright honey toner to ensure the color is warm, vibrant, and full of life. Use a blending brush at the transition line to smudge the two colors together, ensuring the ombre is soft and gradual. Style with soft, natural curls to blend the transition and show off the beautiful, bright honey ends.
