From Care Delevingne to Rihanna, the Ombre hair trend does not seem to be going anywhere. There are a lot of curly hair forums that seem to warn against curly haired folk following the trend but if done right, ombre curls can be even more glamorous than their stick straight counterparts. There are just a few things to consider before you enter the salon.
Do You Want To Bleach Your Curls? Ombre often requires the hair to be bleached before the color can be applied which is not necessarily healthy for curly strands. Bleach can permanently ruin the curl pattern if the hair is not properly moisturized can promote dryness and frizz in the curls.
So Moisturize Beforehand: We cannot stress enough how important it is the have a basis of well moisturized hair before applying color. Make sure your curls are thoroughly conditioned before visiting your salon stylist.
Do You Want Ombre or Balyage? Balyage can be an easier alternative to ombre when it comes to upkeep and unlike ombre does not require you to bleach your strands. So consider this more subtle opportunity if you are thinking of going ombre this season.
Don’t Go Overboard With The Color: Curly hair takes color more easily than straight hair which means less dye is needed. And the less dye used, the healthier the hair will be.
Be Honest With Your Stylist: If you are treating your hair with chemicals that can effect the way that the dye interacts with the hair follicle. So tell your stylist about any prior treatments before you go in for your color! Good luck.
