Week 10: Back From the Dead – The Return of Our Favorite Ombrés 🌈

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to stock up on your favorite gradients, this is it. Our Back from the Dead drop has officially resurrected 14 fan-favorite ombrés and 5 new ponytail extensions.

While our classic solid colors are the foundation of any stash, our limited-edition ombrés are special. These are set colors that typically sell out and head back to the vault, so having them back in the shop is a rare treat..but they won't be here forever. This week, we’re looking at how easy it is to mix these pre-set ombrés to get maximum dimension.

🌀 The Recipe

✶ Groundscore

✶ Fremont Freak

The Directions:

• The Layered Mix: The beauty of using two ombré colors is that the transition is already built into the fiber. Simply take your sections of each color and layer them together before braiding.

• Maintain the Definition: To keep the specific look of both ombrés, you don't need to over-blend. Let the individual gradients of each color sit next to each other to maintain that high-contrast effect.

• Find Your Ratio: You can go 50/50 for a balanced look, or lean heavier into one color to shift the overall tone of your braid.

The "Why": Why Ombrés Always Work

If you’re ever nervous about mixing colors, ombrés are a great place to start. Because each color already features a transition from one shade to another, they have a natural harmony built-in.

When you mix two different ombré colors..like Groundscore and Fremont Freak..those transitions naturally overlap. This creates a complex, dimensional look that looks custom-blended with very little effort. It takes the guesswork out of your color placement while still giving you a totally unique result.

Ways to Customize

The "Back from the Dead" collection is designed for easy experimentation. Here is how you can make these limited-edition shades your own:

• Stack Your Shades: Don’t feel limited to just two. You can mix multiple ombré colors together to create a multi-tonal look that stays organized thanks to the pre-set gradients.

• Use a Solid Anchor: You can always mix an ombré with one of our classic solid colors. This can help ground the look and makes your limited-edition ombré hair stretch even further.

• The Pony Shortcut: Pair your favorite ombré mix with one of our 5 new ponies. It’s the fastest way to get a professional, high-contrast finish that matches your custom blend.

The Takeaway

This drop is all about the colors you’ve missed the most. These ombrés offer a level of depth that is hard to achieve with solids alone, making them the perfect shortcut to a high-end look. Just remember: once these sell out, they head back to the vault.

The Back from the Dead collection is live in the shop now. Go grab your favorites and start mixing!
