What is ecaille? Ecaille, also known as tortoiseshell ombre, is not so much a different technique as much as a melding of techniques. So ecaille is just building on something you already know. It is a softer and more subtle ombre (sombre) with more highlights brought in and up. You may have even have asked your hair stylist for ecaille without even knowing it.

Who is it for? If you are looking for a natural look that is more sunkissed than bleached and adds dimensions to the hair, then ecaille is perfect for you. Blonde, red, brunette makes no difference.
