They call it
Ombré Hair..... or
Sunlights...... or
Sunkissed Hair........
The hair world borrowed the term
Ombré from the french word meaning shaded or shading. Ombré hair colour is generally darker at the roots through the mid-shaft and then gradually gets lighter from the mid-shaft to the ends. It is usually achieved using a balayage technique and is ideal for clients looking for a low-maintenance style.....
Drew Barrymoore has it beautifully.....
Even with short hair, it can look summery...... It looks goods on Alexa Chung.....
I love it on her. So gorgeous!
Wavy sunkissed hair................ brilliant.
With Blonde hair, you can go lighter.... the contrast is beautiful.
This is a great contrast and it maybe doesn't work on everyone.... but it works on her.
It's a trend that already started last year..... but only this year will I embrace it.....
I like it when it appears to be fluid, "natural"..... not when it appears that you dipped your hair in paint..... so, it's tricky and, in my opinion, and it should be made by a professional.
And if you're bold and adventurous, try an ombré with pink, blue or green........
I would love to do it, but can't...... they would be horrified in my work.
So, I'm going to try the subdued version of Ombré Hair.....
And you?
