Ombré Hair Color

If you're tired of your all over color or plain highlights, ombré could be exactly what you need. For those of you who aren't familiar with this hair trend, it's a french term meaning "shaded". The roots are normally colored a darker color, while the mid-shaft/ends fade into a lighter color.

Ombré is also a good idea for those who don't like to keep up with their hair as often. It doesn't need to be touched up as often as highlights, so you don't need to worry about your roots as much.

It can be achieved with all hair colors, and each can look beautiful if done the right way.

Here's an example of ombré gone wrong:

The contrast of the dark to the light is just too dramatic and doesn't blend well.

If you're interested in getting the ombré technique done to your hair, make sure your stylist knows that you want it blended and only 3-4 shades lighter (they should know this anyway, but just to make sure:)).

Blondes

Brunettes

Redheads

If you want to try something fun and different, ombré can also be done with different colors!
