OMBRE HAIR! : What I used

L'Oreal Excellence Crem Blonde Supreme in 01 Extra Light Ash Blonde - $9+
Revlon Frost & Glow Highlight Kit - $7+
I purchased these at Target & Walmart, but you can find them at your local drugstore.
I had ombre hair for most of junior year unil June where I dyed it black. After seeing Zoe (Zoella on YouTube), I fell back in love with the ombre look and decided to do it right. I used the L'Oreal Excellence Creme Bonde Supreme in Extra Light Ash Blonde to lighten my black hair (Hint: If you've dyed your hair dark brown-black like I did in the past three months, IT WON'T WORK! But if your hair is just naturally dark brown-black, then regular Light Ash Blonde hair dye will work for you.) That didn't do anyting so I just went and bleachd it. I jut took the Revlon Frost & Glow because it was really cheap and had bleach, which I needed.

My steps to ombre hair with the Frost & Glow Highlighting Kit:
  1. Right after mixing the product, I put the product from my ends up to where my chin is and left it fr 20 minutes.
  2. Wash & blow dry
  3. I put the product from my ends up to above my ear and left it for 20 minutes
  4. Wash and blow dry
  5. I then just put the rest of the prduct on my ends and left it for 30 minutes
  6. Wash with the shampoo and conditioner it comes with and leave to air dry
Results: Ombre hair! Since my hair was black before-hand, it came out brassy and orange instead of brown. But I kind of like it like that! If it comes out the same way, buy a blue-based toner at your local Sally's and it will take away the orange brassiness!
