Color is flipping around for the warmer months with light shades on the top and dark on the bottom, just the opposite of the original Ombre technique. This look is softer as the lightest shade on top transitions to the darker shade on the bottom. The fashions are trending to softer colors for spring and summer so naturally hair color will follow. Stay within 3-4 shades darker on the bottom colors any more will look like color blocking and wont be as soft. Although this look is more natural as it mimics how the light hits our hair, using rose, lavender and blue hues can keep it funky too.

  • The exact opposite of a natural transition! I would call this look more of a two tone color block. A very pale ash blonde to a black makes for a stark look. Very few can pull this off.
  • Kristin is a great example of how to do the red reverse ombre. She takes her deep red hair color and transitions 2 shades darker to a deep red brown color.

  • Very pale blonde transitioning into a rose shade. This borders on funky because of the pink but it's such a subtle shade I think main stream will except it also because it's beautiful.
  • Bold blue! This is the brightest of my examples but it still works! The aqua gently goes into a royal blue. It reminds me of tie dye. Your hair will have to be in good condition because the entire head will have to be lightened first to apply these vivid colors.
