Ombre hair starts with darker roots that gradually fade to lighter ends. Here are a few of my celebrity favorite ombre looks.
L'Oreal Feria claims to have put the magic in a box with the L'Oreal Feria Wild Ombre Kit. According to their site:
Feria lets you create this dark-to-light finish yourself with an exclusive lightening formula plus The Patented Expert Brush. You can lighten hair lengths in a stroke. So easy!
I had several bundles of natural (1B) colored Peruvian hair that I decided to try the Wild Ombre Kit on.
I prepared my work surface by spreading towels and then covering them with a large garbage bag. I placed each bundle of hair on a piece of aluminum foil.

L'Oreal Feria Wild Ombre: What's in the Box |
Now to open the box; here's what's inside:
- An Applicator Bottle of Shimmering Cream Developer with a separate cap.
- Shimmering Bleach Powder
- Shimmering Lightening Cream
- Conditioning Shampoo
- Expert Brush
Also included in the box are directions and plastic gloves. The components of the box are numbered to make the mixing process very simple.
- Remove the applicator cap from the bottle and add the packet of shimmering bleaching powder.
- Replace the cap (not pictured) and shake well.
- Remove the cap from the bottle and add the shimmering lightening cream.
- Cap bottle again and shake well.
That's all there is to it. Replace the cap on the applicator bottle with the original applicator tip, squirt a little bleaching cream onto your expert brush, and you're ready to brush it through the areas you want lighter.

Hold the brush vertically for a more striped effect like this picture. |
Once I coated the ends of all six bundles , I applied bleaching cream higher up the bundle but this time I turned my brush vertically to get a more subtle effect. Turning the brush vertically and brushing down the hair makes it a more highlighted look.

Shampooed and Conditioned Bundles being Air Dried |
I only left the mixture on the bundles for about 25 minutes because I was afraid to go too light. I shampooed each bundle with the included conditioning shampoo, and conditioned with Feria Professional Moisturizing Treatment that I purchased at Sally's Beauty Supply.
Here are the results after installation:

L'Oreal Feria Wild Ombre (Front View) |
The results were a lot more subtle than I expected. You can see from the pictures that the back view is a lot more dramatic than the front view which is darker.
Remember in the beginning I said I purchased TWO boxes of the L'Oreal Feria Wild Ombre Kit? Well after a few weeks I decided to break out the second box and try going a little lighter.
I threw on an old t-shirt, clipped up the top layers of my hair, and combined all the components of the bleaching mixture.
Once again I started at the ends because I wanted them to be the lightest. Then I began applying the cream mixture vertically, closer to my ear lobes and working my way down to the ends.
I left the bleach on for about 20-30 minutes total including the time it took me to work it in. I did pull down the top layers of hair and put a bit of bleach in the font to frame my face a little more.
I shampooed with the conditioning shampoo included in the box as well as Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Shampoo. I followed with Feria Professional Moisturizing Treatment.
Here are the results:

My final thoughts:
For those that are not familiar with mixing their own bleach, this kit makes the process very easy. The components are numbered to insure goof proof results. I like that the cream developer is already in an applicator so that mixing and clean up is quick and easy.

Wow, it looks great :)
