Ombré Hair - 13 Unexpected Ways To Work The Hair Colour Trend In 2020
Pastel watermelon ombré is so hot right now.
Fact - our obsession with all things ombré hair may never be over. It might be 2020 but we're still lusting after the au natural blended hair dye trend. Which is why we've rounded up the best ombré hair colour ideas that are totally unexpected.
So what's the 2020 update on ombré? 'Its just more subtle now,' says Expert Colourist and Founder of Josh Wood Colour, Josh Wood. 'Less of a dip and more of a soft sun kiss colour in the ends of the hair. It's so much easier to maintain and can look extremely natural.'
Forget plain old caramel hues (although we still wouldn't say no to Jessica Alba-worthy hair), 2020 is all about out of the box ombré hair colours with a subtle twist. 'Colours that look multi tonal not a "block" colour look better,' says Wood. 'It's different subtle tones in one look. At Louis Vuitton someone described the hair colour I created as "childlike hair colour"'.
