Fire Ombré
Near-black roots burning down through crimson mid lengths into orange ends, a three-stage gradient that gets hotter toward the tips.

Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the shade lands on your photo instead.
The two color stages have to overlap for this to read as flame rather than as stripes, so the crimson must bleed into the orange across several inches. It is at its most dramatic in motion, when the red and the orange separate as the hair moves. Red pigment is the fastest thing in a salon to wash out, so the crimson band drifts pink and the orange goes peach within weeks. The dark root hides regrowth entirely.
- Undertonewarm. Both the crimson and the orange are firmly warm, which suits golden, olive and deep skin, and the very dark root keeps the contrast from overwhelming fair complexions.
- Starting pointThe lower two thirds must come up to a clean yellow before either shade will show, so dark hair means at least one full lightening session on the lengths.
- UpkeepRefresh the red with a direct-dye conditioner every two to three washes and expect a full re-dye of the ends every four to six weeks.
Try it before the bleach
