Ombré hair features a gentle transition from darker roots to lighter ends, creating a natural, sunlit gradient through the lengths. The effect can be subtle or more defined, depending on the contrast between the tones, but the best ombré blends softly without harsh lines or colour breaks.

Phoenix Crown’s ombré extensions celebrate this seamless transition, with multi-tonal shades that shift gradually from deep bases to lighter, luminous ends. The result is effortless dimension that catches the light beautifully. Perfect for adding depth and warmth without dye.

You can absolutely colour your natural roots while wearing extensions, but it needs care and precision. The safest approach is to section your hair cleanly, keeping extensions clear of the scalp, or remove them entirely before colouring.

If you’re using clip-ins like Phoenix Crown’s, dye your roots separately and then reapply the extensions once the colour is rinsed and dry. That way, you maintain the integrity of both your natural hair and your extensions, ensuring the colour remains even and the texture silky and consistent.

To find the right extensions for your hair, start by thinking about your goals. Do you want extra length, volume or subtle fullness in one area? Once you know the purpose, focus on matching your mid-lengths and ends rather than your roots - the point where the extensions will blend. Assess your shade in natural daylight and look for similar undertones: cool, neutral or warm.

As well as 20+ natural shades, Phoenix Crown’s range includes blends and ombrés that work across multiple shades, helping extensions merge seamlessly into your own hair. You can also choose by length: shorter sets add discreet body, while longer lengths create a full, flowing transformation.

Ombré hair is timeless for a reason. It adds light, movement and a touch of modernity without the need for constant upkeep. The natural fade from dark to light helps new growth blend in easily, making it lower-maintenance than traditional highlights.

The only drawback is traditional salon ombré often requires bleaching, which can dry or weaken your own hair over time. That’s why ombré extensions are such a smart alternative. They achieve the same gradual, glowing effect without damaging your own hair. You can enjoy the look, switch it up when you like, and keep your hair healthy underneath.
