How To: Ponytail Ombré + Color Formulasfeaturing Scruples
If you’ve opened any social media app lately, you’ve probably seen declarations that ombré is making a comeback in 2026. Dorene Kersey (@dorene_kersey), Certified Color Specialist and Scruples Design Team Member agrees. In fielding requests at her salon in Florida, Dorene discovered an ombré technique that saves her time and eliminates over-teasing, while creating a beautiful, natural-looking color her clients keep coming back for: Ponytail Ombré.
Below, Dorene demos the technique using the Scruples Illusionist line, now available at Marlo Beauty Supply! Available in eight shades, Illusionist Brilliant Creme Highlights allows you to lift and tone in a single process, with controlled lift from 1 to 7+ levels. It works on natural or color-treated hair and can also be used as a base break to soften contrast during highlighting services.
