When ombre is cut off, you have the opportunity to focus on the client’s best features. Here, Lund used a custom mix of Framesi level 6 Framcolors and D Color B Diamond bleach to add golden accents to a natural, chestnut-brown base. This reverses the old dark-on-top, light-onthe- bottom effect.
Arrivederci, ombre! According to Framesi Italian Style educator and Austin, Texas, salon owner Carter T. Lund, spring/summer hair hues are all about subtlety.
“The way we were doing ombre two years ago and even now (dark roots and dip-dyed ends), is out, because everyone has it,” Lund says. “This season’s hot color technique is diffusion. A few pieces should fade, but the all-over effect is subtle and inviting with a sun-kissed, healthy glow.”
For clients who don’t want to cut off or cover their lighter ends, Lund suggests adding “sparks” in the same color family throughout the darker base to break up the contrast. For textured cuts, try creating freehand splashes through the top, front and around the face. For hair of any length, blocks of color add depth and refinement.
