The Sombre Hair is being postulated as the great new hair trend of 2020. Its name comes from the Ombré Hair, that is, a gradient but this time softer ('soft' in English), that is why it has been given the 'S ' in front. So that we find out, the Sombre Hair is nothing more than a super subtle color gradient that allows the roots to leave their natural color while the rest of the hair is lightening very gradually. In this way there are no large cuts of color but it does show when it comes to lighting up the face and making you look more beautiful.
And who is one of the precursors of Sombre Hair? Our dear Olivia Palermo. Yes, this color technique is partly to blame for the fact that her hair is always flawless, shiny, extremely healthy and looks so, so good. But it is not the only one who has joined this trend before it even became one. Other celebrities like Lily James or Alessandra Ambrosio are fans of Sombre Hair. Her manes have a very discreet color variation from the roots to the ends, but which is most flattering.
Take a look and join the new - but old - color trend for this Fall / Winter 2020-2021.

Olivia Palermo and her Sombre Hair
We love Olivia Palermo's hair but hey, who doesn't? Her hair is always impeccable, she can wear it longer or shorter but her hair shines like no other celebrity's. Genetics aside, the it girl has two secrets so that her hair is always like this: she washes it every day and the Sombre Hair coloring technique.

How the Sombre Hair is maintained
How the Sombre Hair is maintained
According to the Oliva Palermo colorist, Abby Haliti, she only applies a total of six highlights each time the influencer goes to touch up her color. In this way it keeps the effect in good condition without taking the health of your tips ahead.

Unlike other degraded effects that have been so successful in recent years, in the case of Sombre Hair, the roots are not so obvious. The color of these is mixed in a subtle way with the lighter tones, in what is known as melting color. This gives the hair a new dimension and a unique texture, as it goes a step beyond the techniques we know, such as balayage.

This technique is easier to reproduce on long manes. The longer the hair length, the easier it is to blend the colors and achieve that smooth gradient effect that characterizes it. But that does not mean that it cannot be carried out on short hair. Natalie Portman's is a good example of how good it looks.

The fact that Olivia Palermo gets only six highlights each time the color is retouched can give us an idea of the low maintenance that this coloring technique requires. Although the roots are less evident here than in other forms of ombré, they are still in their natural color and this allows visits to the salon to be widely spaced.
