Ombre extensions are great for adding a pop of color and are a great accessory to have to transform hair instantly. Ombre hair is where the root is darker and blends into a lighter shade. In the salon, this is done by hand painting (aka Balayage) to create a dark to light effect. However, getting ombre hair in the salon can cost a lot, not to mention the bleach does damage the hair. This is why so many are turning to ombre hair extensions to give them that beautiful blonde dark to blonde ombre look without the use of chemicals or hours in the salon ruining their own hair.

If you have short or medium length hair, you will be able to wear ombre hair extensions without ALREADY having your own hair ombre. (No chemicals required, no money spent on color at the salon). When you have short to medium length hair you are able to wear hair extensions and they will blend effortlessly and will instantly add a pop of color. When purchasing ombre extensions simply match the base color of the extensions to your own hair color and then choose the ombre color you want. Keep in mind, a more natural fade will look most natural, for example the chestnut brown ombre is the most popular as it looks natural and blends well. Lighter ombre will work if you have them cut and blended or you already have ombre hair. The great benefit for those with short to medium hair lengths is that they are able to change their hair color effortlessly in an instant with ombre extensions. Also, you do not need to color your own hair and will be able to save your money and hair while still achieving the ombre look. Just be sure to have your ombre extensions cut and blended in the salon for the most natural look.
If you have longer hair you will need to have your ends ombre already to make sure that the extensions you choose match your current ombre hair. If you have long hair that is one solid color and you attempt to wear ombre hair extensions it will not look natural and most will recognize that you are wearing hair extensions. When purchasing ombre extensions choose a base and ombre color that are very similar to your ombre hair. Keep in mind that you can go 1-3 shades within your ombre colors and it will still blend well. Just be sure to use a color ring or sample to match your own hair.
