Trend Watch: Ombre Color

Here is a trend that I think most of us can get onboard with!  It's easy.  It's lasts longer than a traditional color.  It's foolproof.  Okay, it's not foolproof but almost anyone can wear it.

***WARNING***
If you are one of those clients who wish your stylist could inject color into your scalp in order to get it as close as possible to avoid any hint of grow out whatsoever, this color trend is NOT for you.

That being said, let's check out what makes it so fabulous!!

This color is defined by a darker color at the base that fades into a lighter color towards the midshaft and ends.

I especially like this look for blonde hair.  
Notice how the color around her face is darker.  It really brings color into her face!  I am naturally pretty blonde myself and have been every shade of blonde there is by way of bleach and color.  I often find that  I can get 'washed out' by being too blonde and having very fair skin.  A little depth in the base color avoids that.

The best part about this color technique for the client is that it already looks slightly grown out so you actually can get away with having some 'roots'.  If you do need a color, you can possibly just get a retouch on your new growth and leave your ends alone.  This saves time, money and wear and tear on the length of your hair.

I love this color!  The highlights in just the front pieces are beautiful!
