Sombre

A sombre is a type of hair colouring used by hairdressers. The sombre technique is similar to an ombre but the process of coloring is slightly different. To create a sombre, the hairdresser uses a single color that is applied all over the hair. The color is painted on the hair in sections. This creates a shadow effect and creates a more vibrant color than an ombre. Sombres are used when the hairdresser wants to create a more subtle impression of colour on the hair. The sombre technique is used to create a range of hair colors from light brown through to dark brown. The technique is also used to create a range of auburn and red shades. The sombre technique uses a gradual color transition. This means that light brown can gradually become darker brown. The same can be said for reds as they can gradually become auburn.

The sombre technique is often used alongside a balayage technique. This is a technique where the hairdresser paints the hair in sections and then uses a foil attachment to highlight the hair. Together the two techniques are often used to create a range of subtle color changes on the hair.
