Coloring Ideas for Dark Ombre Hair

Dark ombre hair works well on women with dark skin tones or untanned skin. One of the greatest advantages is its versatility. You can blend well from the humid California weather or winter in the Rockies with just a little tweak of your hair. You can play around with different shades and gradients to suit your personality.

The word ombre, after all, comes from the French word Ombré, which literally means “shaded.” Basically, it’s the seamless transition from one color to the next, typically from light to dark. One thing it does, aside from elegance, is to add volume to the hair.

Here is a list of coloring ideas that we feel are perfect for dark ombre hair.

Coloring Ideas for Dark Ombre Hair

Light brown

This color would be perfect for African-American women with light brown skin, or women with a tan. Celebrities like Rihanna, Zoe Saldana or Beyonce have rocked this hair color.

Caramel

Caramel shade will give dark ombre hair that “sun-kissed” look; like you’ve lived around the beach all your life. This is also easy to maintain so you can maintain that “just woke up” look, which can be very sexy look for some women. Kate Berkinsale, Salma Hayek, Drew Barrymore, Mila Kunis, Jessica Biel and Eva Mendes.

Subtle Red or Purple

For women with darker skin tones, this would be the perfect ombre shade. They just add that little elegance, while you can also show off a hint of the rebellious streak in you. Tyra Banks and former first lady, Michelle Obama, have donned this hair style.

Dark Brown

Another dark ombre hair color that’s perfect for women with darker skin tones.
