melting, ombre, puddling.. what's the difference?!

i know i went over melting a little in this post, but i still seem to get quiet a few questions about it since it's a pretty popular trend right now and so different from the regular highlights and lowlights.

and for those clients who do their research they seem to have questions on the differences between the melting technique, ombre and puddling. they're all very similar, but i'll go over the differences in this post.

first of all, if you've never heard of any of these techniques i'll give a run down (:

the three things all these techniques have in common are darker roots and lighter ends of the hair, this can be as subtle or as drastic as you like and really leaves a lot of room to be creative!

1. melting: a technique that is used to blend or "melt" different colors together to create a smooth transition of color. there shouldn't be a visible horizontal line of color in the hair.

examples:

2. ombre: a deliberate graduation of colour from the roots (darkest) to ends (lightest). this technique may have a more visible lin

e from the darker to lighter color.

examples:

3. puddling: this technique has the same lighter ends and darker roots, however it uses and overlay of the dark color on top and reflective colors to blend the two hence the name "puddling".

examples:

aimee marie.

i love doing aimees hair, not only because it always looks gorgeous, but because she trusts me and lets me do whatever i feel is best.

although i have known her since we were 6, so i think i've earned her trust (:

we normally do aimees hair a dark red violet color, though this time we went for more of a rich mahogany color thats closer to her natural with some subtle melting though the ends.

color melting is a technique that is used to blend or "melt" different colors together to create a smooth transition of color. color melting is great for adding dimension to any bland or 'boring' hair color.

melting can carefully take you from your natural color to a beautiful highlight. upkeep is a cinch too! we just touch up the root every six weeks and brighten up the highlights every 4 or 5 months, so you can go longer between colors, and have natural looking highlights that always are in style.

celebrities such as lauren conrad, ashley simpson, gisele bundchen and drew barrymore have all been seen with color melted hair, so come in and see what all the buzz is about!
