Another day, another nostalgic beauty trend that waves waves in the zeitgeist. And just like in the past looks that have received an updated 2025 spin (brewing pencil thin! Blue eyeshadow! Chunky highlights!), He received a pretty excitement online. Get ready to revise your tumblr and blow my chemical romance – the hair is ready to celebrate a big comeback this spring.
If you immediately think about the idea of returning to these fearful, Difel -colored tips, I hear them. I hesitated a little myself Tom Smith Forecast the upcoming revival of Ombré Hair, but after talking to Smith about the trend, including his tips on how to do it chic, I am not “Chugy”, I'm fully on board. Allow me to present the version of spring 2025 in Ombré Hair.
Let us cut 10 to 15 years ago when a soft grunge aesthetics was anger. You will probably be circled more than a few dip dye hair. (No? Only me?) “There was definitely this grunge, punk influence in it,” says Smith about Ombré's origins. “We saw really striking bleached ends, light red ends … it was definitely for the person who wanted to be brave and wanted to make a statement.”
This contrasting look became a bit softer over time than the celebrities started (Smith wrote Khloé Kardashian to increase his popularity) and dip dye officially developed into Ombré. “[It came from] The commercialization of this diligence, in which the fading faded from one shadow to the other, gradually became, “says Smith.” Even if the roots are very dark and the ends are very light, the fading was gradually, and this is more of what we see now. “Only today has the contrast become softer.

What is the difference between Ombré and Balayage? A little household before continuing: Ombré Hair is not synonymous with Balayage. They are intertwined together, yes, but they are not interchangeable. Simply put, Ombré Hair is a look that fades from one shadow to the other. “All roots are a color, all ends are a different color, and there is a transition in between,” explains Smith.
Balayage, on the other hand, is a color technique, no look at and in itself. “It is the idea of painting color in a turning movement on the hair that mixes at the beginning,” adds Smith. (The word Balayage comes from the French term, which means “to sweep”.) “The general look could be easier at the ends than at the roots, but there is this definition of highlights – some that go higher, some that become lower,” says Smith. Balayage therefore includes a gradual fading, but it doesn't just have to be concentrated at the ends. In short, “Balayage is a technique. Ombré is a look,” explains Smith.
Why is Ombré hair right now? According to Smith, some factors are involved. First of all: the maintenance – or well, it is missing. See the most successful hair trends solve a problem, and Ombré hair, whereby its fading line is near the ends, eliminates the need for regular root improvements. “This customer does not have to repeat his hair in a way. It's really just about repeating it if you want instead of feeling that he has to feel it,” says Smith.
There are also freedom to play with different colors that they may not “adapt”. “I see a shift in customers who want something that is a bit outside of their normal area,” says Smith. “Not something that you are told that you should be 'supposedly' through color analysis, but your personal preference for what colors you like and with which you want to play. But it can be difficult to wear if you go against your natural color to your roots and right next to your face.” Ombré Hair gives people the opportunity to rise with every color they want to rise outside of their comfort zone – the Color theory is damn.
For example, take Cardi B, who has chosen breathtaking cotton sweetness tones.
Of course we cannot forget the cyclical nature of the trends, and it was a good 10 to 15 years since Ombré Hair had his reign. “For hair trends, [this] It's a good time before you come back, “adds Smith. Especially for younger beauty pfans (think in late 20), Ombré hair could be the first cosmetic trend that you have seen live, die and born again.” Horrified by his return (like the reaction to skinny jeans).
How to increase Ombré hair for 2025 According to Smith, the fade line is much higher in today's version – think of cheekbone height or even up to your eyes. “It's like a very long, outstretched root before [transitions] To the lighter color. While the first time it comes from a place of the DIP dye, the Fade line was much lower, “explains Smith. This higher fade line lifts the face in a subtle way by emphasizing the cheekbones, which could pronounce the current fascination of beauty with a caught, contoured bone structure.
Ombré Haire in 2025 is also much, much softer. “Back then, [the shades] Could only have been two or three levels. Now they are sometimes only one or two levels differently, “notes Smith. Rihanna's Magenta Ombré lengths ), but if you shoot around a maintenance look, a low contrast is the right way. As always, reference pictures are their best friends. “As far as very natural looking colors are concerned, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a great example,” adds Smith. “Your hair is extremely subtle ombré. It is darker at the roots and easier at the ends, but [there’s] A very gradual transition between the two. “
However, if you want the most modern version of Ombré hair, choose a lower contrast, a gradual fade and a higher fade line that hits the eyes or cheekbones. “These three points give him this 2025 Edge,” said Smith. If you want to channel the grunge Tumblr era with a strong DIP dye in 2014, of course drive to the right. What goes around, comes around again and again … and around and around.
