Same Girl…Different Hair: DIY Ombre’ Hair

Hey Glam-Aholics! I want to start by saying I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL HAIRSTYLIST! If you are nervous about dying your hair, I suggest that you consult with your hairstylist!

With that being said, here’s what I used to achieve the fabulous Ombré look!

What You’ll Need:

Bowl
Tint Brush
Rubberbands
Gloves
Patience

I used 1 packet of  Loreal’s Quick Blue Powder Bleach and their 40 Volume Developer

1. Seperate hair into even sections with small rubberbands (clips work great as well)


2. Pour powder bleach into bowl and slowly stir in the developer until its pasty.

3. Use Tint Brush to evenly apply bleach to the ends of the ponytails you’ve created.

4. (Optional) wrap your hair with sheets of Aluminum foil to speed up processing.

5. Grab your iPad, Phone, or laptop and check out the latest in fashion and beauty on Confessions Of A Glam-Aholic for the next 30-60 minutes while your color is lifting.


Every 15 minutes or so, check your foil burritos to monitor color. The longer lengths of my hair is jet black so it took a hour or more for the color to lift. However, my top layers are more of a chestnut brown so I didn’t have to process as long. *The lighter your hair the faster it will lift, be sure to continually check it.

6. Rinse bleach out, shampoo, and *Super Important* condition your hair with a conditioner specifically for colored hair. Blow dry and style as desired…

7. Be Glam..Be Fab..Be You- Mia Ray

  1. can this only be done with virgin hair? or will store-bought work the same?

  2. This technique will work on any human hair 🙂

  4. I like the color…I was wondering what kind of hair Mia Ray has in??

  5. I am thinking about getting some frosted/ombre ends… my hair is short and I have been rocking my jet black rinses for far too long. I may make a change soon…idk… this post has motivated me a little!
