All the light lives where the hair meets the face, so brightness reads immediately at the part and the hairline while the weight of the color sinks to the bottom. That heavy dark perimeter makes the ends look thicker than a standard ombre does. Fading works against you here: the dark ends can pull red as the deposit washes down, and the lifted root shows regrowth within weeks.

Undertonewarm, neutral. The blonde half sits right at the face and carries clear gold, so warm and neutral skin takes it directly while very cool complexions want that root toned beige.
Starting pointAny base can wear it, but the roots must be lifted to blonde first, which means bleach at the scalp and a toner, with dark ends deposited over natural or pre-lightened hair.
UpkeepRoot touch-ups every four to six weeks because regrowth shows at the part immediately, plus a color-depositing conditioner to stop the dark ends fading warm.
