Ombre hair is the gradient look—dark at the roots, light at the ends. It's flattering and low-maintenance, but the transition point makes or breaks it. Preview before you book.
Good ombre hair should look like a natural sun-lightened gradient, not a stark line. A free preview lets you test the transition on your own hair. Here's how to see yourself with ombre on the hairstyle try-on tool.
