Ombre Hair


I have been dying to change my look lately.  I get the itch about every 6 months or so and right now I am looking for something a bit edgier.  I thought maybe I would change my cut and add bangs or something, but I have already been there and done that - also, it took forever to grow out!!  A style I have had my eye on, seen in many of my favorite mags and blogs, is the ombre hair technique.  I have seen it in many color variations such as ash blonde with light blonde ends, dark brown with copper ends, and black with red ends.  My favorite combo is the dark brown with coppery,caramel ends. I am however a bit worried that this will slightly ruin the healthy texture that my hair currently has.  Maybe its worth it?  Plus, you can just keep cutting off the most damaged part since its at the ends.  What do you think of this look?  Yay or nay?

This girls is a bit too dramatic for me, but looks really cool on her!
Jessica Biel's is perfect, subtle but noticeable.


XOXO,

  1. You know my vote. Jessica Biel's version - I don't mind the girl at the top either. With the girl in the middle I am just tempted to take scissors to the bottom 8 inches of her hair.

  4. I don't like it :( To me, it looks like you have massive roots and need to re-dye your hair.

  5. How funny that you post about this now!

    Just the other day my sister (we know how sisters are...) informed me that I was in desperate need of highlights and that the top of my hair and my bangs don't match the rest---nice, right?

    I immediately went to the computer and pulled up a picture of Jessica Biel AND Drew Barrymore with their ombre hair. I can't wait to tell her that I am totally on trend.

    As for the pics above-the top one and Jess are my favs!

  6. I vote for the top one if you must! I don't think dark, dark goes well with your complexion. The bottom one is too dark--maybe an illusion--and one-sided.

  7. I hadn't really thought of it until you posted these, but I love it. I also get bored frequently with my hair but am making myself grow it out because it's been short for far too long. This fall it should bee just past past my shoulders and i plan to dye it red! I think I'll try an ombre look before I cut it short again in the spring (because I know I will!)

  8. I love that you posted this because my hair has naturally started to do the ombre effect because I've been in the sun so much this summer... I'm thinking I might kick it up a notch and add some lemon juice to the ends when I go to the beach or the pool to lighten it up more. Mine is kind of looking like JBs right now but if it were somewhere between hers and the top girls it'd be perfect :)

  9. I am cringing as I write this because as Laura said I want to cut off the bottom part of the middle girls hair. Obviously the model in the top photo and JB look amazing and I am sure their stylist spent oodles of time. Still cringing a bit, but if anyone can pull it off I am positive you can!!! xoxox

  10. i have to say i LOVE this look...especially the first pic. dream hair. but i went to my stylist with that exact photo in tow, and she said she'd need to run bleach through my ends to get the effect. yikes.

    so yes, probably pretty damaging.

  11. As a top colourist in a high end salon I can completely, 100% recommend this technique! It's beautiful any way u like it- subtle and sunkissed to full lightened and dramatic. The joy comes in the low maintanence and added texture for your hair. Yes, u must use good home care as it IS bleach your putting through your strands, but if condition is a concern, best to lighten gradually over a few months.
    I stress that u should go to a salon with reputable and experienced colourists with proper hair painting/baliage/ombré training.
    enjoy! It's a fun and minimal way to freshen up your look!
