L'Oréal Colorista Effect Ombre Hair, Brunette

Product Information

We’ve rounded up your go-to guide for creating the perfectly cool, blunt colour punch the dip dye style in known for. Read on to discover:

All you need is a little bit of patience, an ombre hair dye or lightening kit, and a trusty brush or comb to get started on your color transition journey. To begin, style yourself in an old t-shirt that you don’t mind getting dirty – don’t risk your favourite outfit! Also make sure you have gloves close by (Hint: they’re usually included with your at-home dye kit of choice). You may also want a few extra plastic carrier bags around to protect your surrounding. You can use them to line the sink or, if you really want to get creative, feel free to wear one like a bib so dye doesn’t touch your clothes, and you don’t need to find an old towel you don’t mind ruining.Remove applicator cap from the developer creme. Pour lightening powder into the developer creme's bottle.

If you find the color too bright or brassy, you can use a purple toner to dull it down. Watch and learn: DIY – How to ombre your hair at home. You can also add a hair mask to your routine and use it once or twice a week. Try the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Repair Remedy Balm, which is also formulated with an antioxidant + UV filter and helps to protect and care for hair. After shampooing, apply the mask in place of your regular conditioner and leave it on for three to five minutes, then rinse. Another tip: Rinse your hair with lukewarm water instead of hot—although steamy showers can feel relaxing, the extra hot water can strip your hair of moisture, which is not cool if you want to keep your hair looking shiny and soft.As with all colouring kits a 48 hour before sensitivity test is a must. Plus remember to do a strand test (Especially important with bleach) to know how long to process. This kit recommends anything from 25-45 minutes with the bleach processing. After the bleach has processed I generally rinse the bleach out, shampoo my hair with my regular shampoo and then apply the conditioner in the kit. Here are my results.
