Term: Ombré Hair Color Types

There are two different types of ombré:

A subtler version of ombré is called sombré.

In a sombré hairstyle, the contrast between the two tones is softer.

Another variation is called color melting. In color melting, two or three hair color shades may be used on each strand, and each shade is blended with the side of the hair color brush so that they appear to melt into each other.

Like ombré, color melting can be done with natural-looking hair color shades or with any of the fun colors of the rainbow.
