Ombre Hair Color - Is it right for you?

Have you been wondering why all the celebrities are wearing the grown out looking highlights?



This hot new look is called the OMBRE - which in simple terms means a gradual change in shade from dark to light or from one shade to another.
In hairstylist terms the Ombre technique generally means a gradual change in color, usually darker at the root while gradually getting lighter toward the ends.

The results of Ombre hair color can vary greatly but can range from seamlessly sun kissed to funky and eye-catching.

Style Icons Alexa Chung and Rachel Bilson have adopted the Ombre hair color technique as their signature looks.





What is the appeal of having Ombre hair color?

In most cases this technique can actually save you a trip to the salon because of the low maintenance grow out process. It may not be for everyone, but for the ladies that want some lightness and dimension without being so perfectly polished it could be a match made in heaven. The Ombre look can also give your highlighted hair a break from the constant highlighting.
A traditional highlight client may have to go in for a touch up as often as every three weeks to avoid that dreaded demarcation line but an Ombre hair color client can enjoy their grow out time without having to constantly run back to their hair stylist.
