Haircolor.

Being that I am naturally brunette I tend to color my hair in the same color family as my natural color and often times a tad bit darker.  About 8 months ago I decided to let my natural color grow out, til I came across a friend who is a hair stylist that had some really cool colors in her hair and it looked very smooth and natural. She then said let me try it on you its the new thing that is in and its called Ombre.
"Ombre" literally means gradation in French, which refers to the dark-to-light fade of color that is used in the technique. Instead of color that starts at the root, darker roots blend into a lightened mid-shaft and end.  It's a beachier, more natural looking version of the enduring "visible root" trend. I agreed of course. Made my appointment and had it done.  I am now LOVING it.  Going back soon for a 2nd round to try to get it a bit lighter!
