Nowadays, the ombre hair color technique has become more refined and sophisticated. If you’re thinking about going lighter or trying out a different hue, you can use the ombre technique to give it a whirl. Have your colorist apply ombre heavily to your hair. That means starting the color higher up on the shaft as opposed towards the ends; the heavier the ombre is applied, the lighter, or darker, or redder your hair will look.
