How to.. Ombre Hair

Hey Everyone. I loooove the ombre hair look that you probably have seen lately on a lot of celebrity's such as Drew Barrymore and Lauren Conrad. Well the other day i went out on a whim and randomly decided to do it to myself. The process was actually very easy & cheap! I just went to Sally's Beauty Supply and asked the guy working what i should use to ombre my hair. He told me what to use and gave me some helpful tips that i will share with you guys. All of my supplies came to a total of $9 and some change! 

• First i brushed out my hair so it was nice and smooth with no tangles.
• Then i cut a hole in the bottom of a trash bag for my head and put it on like a poncho (very attractive)
• Next i parted my hair where i usually part it then brought the 2 sides to the front
• Next i  put the dye on about 3 inches of my hair from the bottom. I just basically painted the dye using a hair dye brush i bought for $0.75. and then i flipped the section over and painted the other side on the same 3 inches. You want to make sure your hair is very saturated in the dye. 
• Next i just did the same thing to the other section of my hair and waited about 7-10 minutes depending on how light you want it
• After the 10 minutes, i applied the dye about 2 inches higher than the first application.
• After i finished applying all the dye i ran a wide tooth comb through the areas with dye on them. 
• Let sit for another 10 minutes or so.  *The dye will look lighter on your hair than it actually is when you rinse it, so don't be scared when it looks bleach blonde!!!*
• After the 10 minutes is up, i just brushed on the rest of the dye a little above that and let it sit for another minute, just to get that faded effect. 
• Then i rinsed my hair with conditioner. I did not use shampoo. 
• After i rinsed, i applied a liberal amount of Moroccan Oil (you can use any sort of leave in conditioner or Argon oil) just so my hair doesn't look so damaged. 
• Then i blow dried and styled and your all done! :)

I will put a picture of the hair dye i used since i'm not exactly sure what its called. I just used what the man told me. :)
