Current Obsession: Ombre Hair
The "e" in ombre is supposed to have a little accent mark over it, but I don't know how to do that on a keyboard (and I don't feel like googling it) so just bear with me here.
Is ombre hair not the cutest, smartest hairstyle ever invented?? I am pretty sure it's one of those hairstyles where in 20 years we will look and be like WTF were we thinking! But for now, I think it's sooo cute. For starters, it adds an element of style to otherwise boring haircuts. It also allows us to get our hair colored way less often which is a huge plus! Cuts down on cost and helps your hair's health because of less processing.
I am in the beginning stages of my ombre (only like a year too late). I am just growing out my blonde for a few months and then I will have to get the root colored blended to the outgrown blonde. The key to the ombre is to not look like its grown out roots, hence the term "ombre" which refers to the graduated or shaded effect of color. Think of it like a rainbow, all the colors blend together, you can't really see where one starts and ends.
Another cool thing about this hair style is that you can vary the versions of it. It can be subtle like Jessica Biel's above, or more drastic like Guliana Rancic below.
Cute, right!
My goal hairstyle is below. Here's to hoping!
