What is Black Ombre Hair?
A black ombre hair color refers to a gradual blend of your hair, transitioning from a black shade to another tone. Typically, it moves from a darker shade to a lighter one, beginning at the crown of your head and altering its hue down to the tips of your hair. If it transitions from a dark tint to a brighter one, it’s known as a reverse ombre. Black ombre styles create striking contrast.

#3 Smooth Golden Bronde Ombré for Dark Hair
If you’re looking to add warmth to your dark or black hair, think about a golden blonde ombre. Ideally achieved with the balayage method, your stylist can elevate your dark hair by about 6 levels and tone it with a gold base. This technique will seamlessly transition from dark to a caramel blonde, leaving your color warm and vibrant.
#4 Stunning Ash Blonde Ombre with Dark Roots
Ash-blonde ombre with dark roots is perfect if you have naturally dark hair and desire vibrant blonde pops. To achieve this ombré appearance, ask your colorist for a dimensional balayage featuring thick ribbons of highlights.
#5 Chic Cool-Toned Blonde Ombre on Dark Hair
One color combination to consider is a chic cool-toned blonde ombre on dark hair. Winter weather invites icy tones in women’s styles, and a cool ash-blonde ombre creates the perfect ambiance. Black and white hair may be achieved with this method, too. To style, keep it simple to allow your color technique to shine. Use a large barrel iron for your loose curls on the ends for soft movement.
#6 Shiny Black to Blue Ombre
Transform your style with a fresh ombre hair color! This blue-dipped ombre finish features a stunning gradient from deep black roots that you won’t want to miss.
#7 Stylish Black to Blonde Ombre
Trendy ombre hair ideas featuring coffee-dipped ends are headed your way! Enhance your sun-kissed look with added waves and texture. Embrace this refreshing black and blonde ombre shade perfect for any event!
#8 Deep Black to Luscious Brown Ombre
This ombre style is ideal for those with dark and naturally-colored straight hair. It’s among my favorite shades to work with. Do remember that it’s a notably warm hue. Ensure that the tone complements your complexion. I adore this black-to-brown ombre. It’s quite low-maintenance with the root shadow/ombre effect. I consistently suggest a hydrating shampoo/conditioner for any of my Ombre clients to maintain the shine post-lightening.
#9 Smoky Dark Ombre
One color combination to think about is a smoky ombre if you have dark hair.
#10 Ombre Transition from Black to Red with Highlights
This dark ombre features a subtle red accent with a smooth, highlighted fade. If you’re a woman with damaged dark hair, I wouldn’t suggest this color since it needs to be lightened to a level 8-10 for the hue to be vibrant. This black-to-red ombre style would appear more polished in curly or wavy textures than in straight hair, allowing most women to showcase it beautifully with some layering for added dimension.
#11 Trendy Black and Burgundy Ombre
This rich ombre hair features a deep and sultry burgundy ombré balayage! I adore the depth of the color, as it showcases different tones in various lighting. If you’re contemplating burgundy ombre for your black hair, bear in mind that it’s a fashion color so it will fade more quickly than your typical color. Thus, regular visits to your stylist for re-toning the burgundy ends is crucial to maintaining the vibrancy! Unless you have naturally dark level 1 or 2 black hair, you may need root touch-ups periodically to keep your look cohesive and your black ombre hair dye flawlessly blended!
#12 Gradient Black to Maroon Hair Shade
Bold Black is making a statement! Interspersed red and black ombre locks look stunning on women of all hair types.
#13 Beautiful Pastel Pink and Black Ombre Hairstyle
Make sure to consider adding a pink and black ombre to your hairstyle wish list as colorist Natalie demonstrates how pastel pink and black ombre hair color is created!
#14 Chic Green and Black Ombre
An unexpected combination of black and green tones that creates a stunning blend of rich ivy strands. This mid-length ombré is referred to as a dark forest. I utilized a mix of 5 different direct colors by Pravana to achieve this look. If you’re thinking about this color, I advise getting your color refreshed every 5-6 weeks. A tailored color shampoo/conditioner is also advisable (Pureblends). Additionally, Olaplex is essential when working with shades like this.
#15 Stunning Gray Ombre for Dark Locks
A black and gray ombre is a trend in beauty that will endure for years! Jet black hair finds a stylish partner in ash silvery gray hair.
#16 Platinum Ombre for Dark Hair
Cruella de Ville is in style! Showcase that stunning monochrome gradient without the sinister vibe with black-to-white ombre locks or black and silver hair trends. Whatever hue you opt for, dark roots will reduce your salon trips and provide you with the finest black and blonde hair.
#17 Transition from Black to Lavender Ombre
Charming lavender ombre complements any previous hair color. Allowing your hair to grow naturally from black roots is effortless.
#18 Soft Black and Dark Brown Ombre
In this look, the color transitions from a deep and dark brunette root into a natural ash brunette balayage ombre. I appreciate this color’s understated dimension and its cool and beige tones. A dark brown ombre hair color is low-maintenance. It’s ideal for dark-haired ladies that want to minimize salon visits every 6-8 weeks. With balayage, you can manage to go 3-6 months without needing it refreshed, especially with this color because it’s so understated.
#19 Stylish Black to Rose Gold Ombre
Wavy hair that falls just past the shoulders will enhance the character and shape of your dark-to-red ombre. Rose gold has emerged as a favorite complement to black ombre, invigorating your natural hair color.
#20 Striking Black to Silver Ombre
I adore the striking contrast of these black to platinum ombre locks! This platinum/silver balayage provides lighter ends that stand out beautifully against your natural root. If your natural color isn’t quite dark, achieving this overall black and platinum hair ombre may take a few rounds. Maintaining the health of your hair should be a priority!
