Shades of Plum Brunette Ombré
Create a narrow oval section around the parting (A). This hair acts as a veil. A smaller oval section will expose more color, a larger oval section will conceal more color. Take curved triangular sections beneath the oval section (B and C). The triangles should be roughly 2cm behind the front hairline.
On the first triangular section, start taking vertical subsections roughly 1cm wide - for a more subtle result use narrower sections. Color section 1 using the bleaching mixture. Paint the color about 1cm away from the roots.
Continue in this way to the back of the section, taking 1cm vertical sections and alternating between the two different colors.
