The A List: Everything you need to know about 'Ombre' haircolor

Unless you've been living under a rock, you have no doubt seen someone rocking the ombre haircolor look. Maybe you thought it was just a 'grown out root' look, but there is actually a technique behind it! To simplify it, ombre is the look of haircolor graduating from dark at the roots to lighter on the ends. In most instances, the difference between the top and the ends is only a couple shades, which gives it a subtle, blended look. The idea is to be able to see the difference, but not so much that it looks trashy! Ombre is great for someone who is very heavily highlighted and has been on the fence about going darker. By keeping the ends, as well as a few face framing pieces lighter, you will not feel washed out by the darker shade. For those of you with darker hair, whether it's your natural shade, or colored, ombre' is a great option for you also! By lightening the ends just slightly, it will give your hair the look of someone who was on the beach all summer! And the best part of trying the ombre look is, the maintenance is next to nothing! You may need a root touch up, or a color refresher every few months, but other than that, once you do the initial color, you are good to go! I've attatched a few examples of this look so you can better understand the technique. I hope I've answered some of your questions, and that maybe you will consider giving it a try! Thanks, and Happy Holidays !
