The 30 Hottest Ombre Hair Colors You willl Ever See

Ombre color remains one of the hottest hair color trends not only because it has so many different options, but because it can be ridiculously low maintenance. The variety of this trend can be seen in every magazine and on nearly every runway. Go bold, soft, colorful or natural with endless color choices. Ombre hair colors are a great way to rock a low maintenance look that doesn’t sacrifice style!

Pink Ribbons

One of the hottest trends within the ombre’ trend is to add bright vivid colors! Blonde looks amazing with ribbons of pink twisted within beautiful curls. Not a pink fan? Try lavender, mint green, coral, baby blue or pale yellow.

Pink Ribbons Blonde Ombre Hair Color

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

For the cool blonde, light toned beauties with cooler undertones look best, but pink goes with any skin tone!  Hair that is compromised (or damaged) will grab onto bright colors easier.

Tip:

Not sure if you want a bright color every day? Give it a try with clip-in extensions. Ask your stylist where you can purchase them or if they could custom make them for you in your favorite hue.

Copper Fade

Dark rich copper fades into a medium then light copper in this cool color combo. Rich and intense, this look will draw attention at school, work or a night out!

Copper Fade Intense Ombre Hair Color

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Medium to dark skin tones look best in this warm color while thick straight hair will achieve this style with ease.

Tip:

Love the copper but want to go a bit lighter? Ask your stylist to transition this copper color in to a lighter, pale golden blonde towards the ends.

Golden Ends

Using an ombre’ technique to lighten just the very ends of your hair gives a soft glow and texture to curls. It’s a great way to try out the hottest trend!

Golden Ends Soft Wavy Look

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Light to medium skin tones with medium straight hair look amazing in this soft curled ombre’.

Tip:

Love the ombre’ but craving more? At your next appointment, let your stylist know how bold you want to go.  Pictures are always helpful to get on the same page.

Soft Caramel Dream

Even if you’re far from the beach, you can achieve the ultimate beachy babe look. A soft transition into caramel ombre’ paired with loose curls can easily go from office to evening, or is always perfect for a day at the beach!

Soft Caramel Dream Ombre Hair Color Soft Caramel Dream Ombre Hair Color Back View

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Any shade of skin tone can wear this soft shade. Ask your stylist to match up your perfect caramel shade to partner with your natural brown, or a shade you choose. Medium to thick hair that holds a curl nicely works best for this style.

Tip:

If you are a dark haired beauty that colors your hair, it may take a few appointments to achieve the lightness of this look. Talk to your stylist and grab a take home conditioning treatment to keep your locks looking great. Try Pravana’s Nevo 60 Sec Deep Treatment.

Chocolate Cherry

Ombre’ doesn’t always have to be the expected brown to blonde transition. This chocolate into cherry transition adds interest and a bit of brightness to your everyday look! It’s great for those brunette beauties who don’t want to go lighter but love the ombre’ look.

Tip:

When adding red to your hair, make sure to shampoo with a color safe, sulfate-free shampoo. Try Kevin Murphy Hydrate Shampoo paired with a leave-in conditioner with UVA and UVB inhibitors to keep your red looking fabulous!

Short and Sassy Ombre’

Short haired ladies don’t have to miss out on all the fun of the latest color trend! Strokes of blonde brighten this cropped look and create serious texture.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Any skin tone looks great with this soft blonde gracing the ends of a chocolate brown. Short hair that is straight in texture and medium to thick wears this cropped ombre’ beautifully.

Tip:

Start off with just a few painted on ombre’ highlights. If your stylist gets too overzealous it can quickly turn into an all over color!

A Bit of Platinum

Bright, platinum ends are one of the most popular colors within the super hot, ombre’ trend. Paired with ringlet curls, this look will draw attention anywhere you go!

Bit of Platinum Ombre Hair

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Light porcelain skin tones make this color pop! Hair that is medium to thick and curly make styling this hot look a breeze.

Tip:

When lightening your ends for an ombre’ look, expect to get a haircut too. When lightening ends, it can create dryness or brittleness. Prior to your appointment, do weekly conditioning treatments to prep your ends and keep them in shape.

The Reverse Ombre’

Adding a warm brown transition from bright blonde keeps the lightness around your face and gives you an edgy look that turns heads at every bend. Reversing the ombre’ also conceals damage on ends of over-lightened hair and makes it appear thicker and smoother.

Reverse Ombre Edgy Look Reverse Ombre Edgy Look Long Bangs

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Medium to light toned ladies who love their blonde but want something different and edgy look great in this reverse ombre’. Hair texture that is medium to thick and straight or wavy carries this color best.

Tip:

Going darker for a lot of blondes is a hard thing. Especially when you are going darker on your ends, ask your stylist to use a semi or demi permanent color. This way if you’re not 100% about your new color, it will gradually fade off with no damage.

Face Framing Ombre’

A great way to brighten up your all over look is to add some face framing ombre’ highlights around the front of your hair. These pieces are brought up closer to the scalp, just through your fringe and face frame.  It’s a great way to have summer hair all year long!

Face Framing Ombre Hair Color with Bangs

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Light skin tones work amazing with this sandy light brown and golden umbre’, while hair that is curly or straight can wear these face framing ombre’ lights best!

Tip:

When asking your stylist for the face framing ombre’ highlights, discuss how heavy or subtle you want them to be. The best way to get exactly what you want is to bring pictures with you to your next color appointment.

Copper Glow

It’s hard for any stylist to agree to change out a natural redheads color, but adding a golden ombre’ is a different story! Whether you are naturally copper or carry it well, a soft transition into light gold brightens your skin tone and looks amazing.

Copper Glow Long Style with Accessory Copper Glow Long Style with Accessory Back View

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Fair skinned ladies who are naturally red (or should have been) with straight to wavy hair look fabulous in this copper glow ombre’!

Tip:

When lightening red and copper hair, it usually looks best with a golden hue.  A platinum or ashy blonde will appear unhealthy looking paired with copper, so make sure to discuss the final result with your stylist.

Honey Clouds

Soft fluffy curls paired with a honey toned ombre’ leaves you feeling like you’re walking up in the clouds!  A soft transition is key with this color.

Honey Clouds Ombre Hair

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Light to medium toned skin with warmer undertones looks best in this shade of honey. Mid to fine hair types will achieve this look easily with the right tools and products.

Tip:

Keep your finer locks healthy and hydrated with Pravana’s Intense Therapy leave-in treatment. To keep heat damage at a minimum, try some no heat options for beautiful curls.

Barely There Ombre’

There is no ombre’ law against reversing it, and making it a soft, barely there hue. This adds interest and makes ends appear thicker. It’s also perfect for the blonde who wants something different, but loves the lightness around their face.

Barely There Ombre Transparent Hues

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Mid to light skin tones that love a platinum blonde look fantastic in this color. Hair that is medium thickness and wavy will hold this style all day.

Tip:

Want to try this ombre’ look, but scared of commitment?  Ask your stylist to use a demi permanent color. The color will slowly fade off and if you love it, they can use permanent the next time.

Natural Done Right

Even those with naturally beige (sometimes referred to as “dishwater” blonde) want to try out the new ombre’ trend. Why not? It looks so incredible. Lightening the ends ever so softly gives a summer glow to the hair and sets you up for summertime fun all year long!

Lovely Natural Flowing Ombre Half Updo

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

For this look, a medium to dark blonde natural hair color tends to be seen best on fair toned ladies. Curly, wavy or straight hair that is fine to thick can be lightened to achieve this fabulous, natural looking color.

Tip:

Love her curls? We see a lot of ombre’ styles worn curly to really show off the new lighter ends. So, it’s time to break out your old hot rollers or curling irons to bend those ends into shape. Make sure to use a heat protecting product to keep your ends looking great.

Caramel Highlight Ombre’

Ombre’ has so many different options, one being highlights instead of a solid color. This is great to create a lot of texture with in the ends of your hair and it looks amazing curled!

Caramel Highlight Ombre Hair Color Caramel Highlight Ombre Hair Color Side View

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Dark skin tones look best with this deep chocolate brown and ombre’ caramel highlights. Hair that is medium to thick and has a curly texture look especially beautiful with these highlights.

Tip:

To keep naturally curly hair looking ombre’ and not a two-toned color is sometimes a task. This technique of having the ombre’ highlights keeps the curls looking their best and still creates the ombre’ effect.

Patterned Ombre’

This reverse ombre’ with patterns stamped or painted on is a fresh take on this new trend. Let your stylist get creative! Try leopard print, flowers, patterns, hearts and more. Everyone will be jealous of your fabulous ‘do!

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Medium to light skin tones work best with this color palette. To achieve a pattern like this picture, you will need straight medium to thick hair texture.

Tip:

This may be one of the first times your stylist will be coloring a pattern on hair. Give them a heads up when you make your appointment so if they want to practice before you get there they can. Using a demi permanent color is also a good idea so it will fade away gracefully.

Intertwining Mahogany

Another great accent for dark brown hair is mahogany. It’s not too bright, but will add serious dimension and interest to your rich locks.

Intertwining Mahogany Ombre Hair Color Look

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Brunette beauties with straight, medium to thick hair, and light to medium toned skin wear this mahogany ombre’ wonderfully!

Tip:

Make sure to show your stylist your version of mahogany. It’s one of those colors that everyone has a different perception of.  You don’t want to go in thinking mahogany/red-brown, and end up with mahogany/bright violet-brown instead. Pictures are always great for explaining color.

Ombre’ = FUN!

Who doesn’t love these fun playful curls paired with an amazing ombre’? A beautiful light brown transitioned into a light caramel makes this look trendy and perfect for everyday wear or a night out.
