Ombre vs Balayage vs... Which one will win you over?

They’re highlighting techniques, but the results are different. Welcome again, today we are going to be unmasking the differences between: Balayage, Ombre, Sombre and Flamboyage.


Let's get started!

#1

Ombre



As the ombre trend started, you may have noticed that things have evolve a little since. The ombre is a very harsh transition between one color to the other. The results, in some cases, gave the client a very distinct line in the middle of the hair where one color ended to where the other began. Since then, hairstylist have worked on ways to make this trend into the subtle and more natural transitions we see today.

Balayage


From the French word meaning "to sweep", balayage is a freehand painting technique. This means that your hairstylist dyes freely through your hair. The results are natural looking highlights and dimension. The fade effect that you see from one color to the other - unlike the ombre - helps with how natural this highlights look. 

# 3 

Sombre


Sombre is known like the "subtle ombre" for obvious reasons. Is a softer version of the ombre, where the lighter sections begin much higher and the lower lenghs have pieces of dark color to hel with the transition. It is low maintance, because it doesn't require constant touch ups and it has no harsh lines or growth issues to work with. 

# 4

Flamboyage 


It's a new trend, where they combined the traditional ombre and the balayage. Its low maintanence and you can go subtle to dramatic with this hair style.
