How ambitious are you with home colouring?

****This trial opportunity has now closed****

It's Ombre week at BR and on Monday we asked if you would ombre at home.  Lots of you are keen to give it a go, but some of you seemed a little wary of playing around with different shades on your own hair.

We know many of you are regular at-home hair colourers, and we can see from some of your BR profile pictures, some of you have the skills to pay the bills.  But how many of you are game enough to attempt more than a regrowth touch up, or an all over simple colour change?

We love multi-shade styles, it's probably why we love ombre so much - gone are the days of wishing you were blonde, or wishing your were brunette - you can be both!  And of course, you don't have to stick to traditional ombre - how about graduating from say, a deep maroon to a bright and light red? Or shading from your natural colour down to something crazy like bright blue? 

L'Oreal Preferences Wild Ombre is a great way to Ombre at home,  putting you in charge of the look you want to create!  The key feature is the unique application technique, by way of a patented brush.  Seriously, you literally brush it in!  Find out more about the process in our article DIY Ombre.  It's easier than you think!

Now if you're tempted to put your hand up for this one, you might be thinking - "Will it work on my hair?".  We're going to ask all interested members take fill out this survey, but before you do here's some points to consider!

  • Ombre generally looks best on shoulder length to long hair.
  • Wild Ombre kits work best on light brown to medium blonde hair.
  • Wild Ombre kits work best on virgin (uncoloured) hair or hair that is not highly coloured.  So if you're a regular at home colourer with layers of colour on your hair, you risk not achieving the desired result.
  • DO NOT use Wild Ombre on very fine, fragile, sensitised or straightened hair, or just after a permanent wave.  Do not use on hair that is coloured with Henna.

Ok - so are you interested in joining the L'Oreal Wild Ombre trial team? 

Remember you need to take this survey to be considered!

Over to you - do you colour you hair at home?  How ambitious do you get?  Would you attempt a two tone (or even a three, four or five tone) style by yourself or do you think it's best left to the professionals?  Are you particular about where and how you place your highlights/colour changes or do you just wing it?

I would love to give the hair colour a go, its looks so awesome.

I'm game to try anything but my hair wouldn't handle blonde again. I've just gone dark again after blonde because my hair is so dry & breaking. My bottom layer is still light enough to play with colour though! Would love to try a pink or blue.

I've done ombre with pink and purple and blonde at various stages. I like having fun with my hair.

Would love to try something a little different.

Im keen to try anything! Ive done nearly everything possible I could do with my hair, it depends how im feeling at the time when I change my hair colour, sometimes I do it as I go or with an idea in my mind, ive failed and succeeded many times, its all trial and error for me

I think my hair with the length it is would probably look best one block of color. I don't have the money to dye my hair or the skill to do it at home so I'll pass on this one but would love to see photos of how it looked on other women.

13th June, 2014

I love to try new things... hence why I love BR :) But I have just had this done in the salon so would be best to skip this one... will be looking forward to reading the reviews as I would love to be able to do my own next time :)

It sounds very similar to the technique I use at home to give my hair a dip dye effect, which involves using an afro comb to apply the bleach through the top layers of my hair. I'm curious to find out if it would make it easier with their brush..

I would love to be able to give this a go.... looks very exciting :)
