Hi. What color did you use for the lowlighting and shading? The same fomula?, or like a 7 or gb...?? and have you tried graduating/ombreing more than 2 colors/levels? like a 6 to a 8 to a 9/10 etc...?

[ericcharlesmokotoff]

@CICCO811 I have played with many varying technques to execute the ombre as well as many types of formulas and effects. The lowlights were a level 6N I used neutral to keep tonal compatability so I can gloss it without tones clashing.

Hi i was just wondering if you could please tell me what level base you used? i'm thinking 7 or 8 but not quite sure

[ericcharlesmokotoff]

@Taytieo I used a level 7 with heavy ash and a shot of green mixer for additional coolness to subdue her natural remaining pigment.

Her hair looks much better, but I've seen better ombré looks.

@MrEspana84 It's also to lighten your hair to make your roots lighter, tricking people that you indeed had a dye job, and making them think your natural color is lighter than it really is. (roots) Something along the lines of, "Oh no, look, my roots are coming in! Atleast I'm still naturally dirty blonde and can pull it off."

[sevlow49]

@nonsenseislisa Yes actually, it made her hair look like it was naturally lighter all by itself. It's easier for darker, or dishwater blondes to pull off light blonde hair with roots because their hair is still blonde. I think its a pretty cascading effect because when we're younger our hair grows in darker from top to bottom like that anyway.

[nonsenseislisa]

Wait so you just created roots?

[MrEspana84]

So the Ombre is basically just blending your roots and difusing the harsh line? Pretty silly really. I thought women are trying to hide their roots? now they just blend it?
