In contrast to highlights, which create more, well, contrast, babylights create a more natural blend.
Sombre is an amalgamation of “soft” and “ombre.”
What makes it softer than the typical ombre is the more natural blend and more subtle transition in shades.

Think of it as a happy medium between highlights and the standard dimensional balayage.
Keeping your tone slightly cool makes for less maintenance for those who do not prefer brassiness.
Keeping them both cool-toned helps seamlessly blend the look together.
