Blood Red Ombre
Black roots melt through deep burgundy into bright crimson at the ends. The gradient stays smooth and the red reads vivid rather than muddy. Gothic and dramatic, and best on medium to long length.

Blood-red ombre is the Halloween costume color treatment — black at the roots fading into deep blood-red through the lengths and ends. The dramatic darkness suggests gothic imagery, vampires, or general witch-coded styling. The look works for Halloween specifically but can extend to general goth/alternative styling year-round.
It flatters oval, heart, and oblong faces — the dramatic dark-to-red gradient frames these shapes. Straight and wavy hair show the ombre cleanest; very curly hair can wear it but the gradient is softer. The look is built for occasions.
High maintenance for commitment; low for temporary. Temporary spray-on dye for Halloween wears off in one wash. Permanent commitment requires a salon ombre service (every 6-8 weeks for root touch-ups and refresh of the red ends). The look's modern reference points include various Halloween/costume photography and gothic alternative culture year-round. Costume color — temporary dye for Halloween, or commit with a salon balayage from black roots to red ends.
