I remember when showing roots was considered a major faux pas. These days, however, “ombre hair color” has allowed for laziness to be chic making this my favorite hair trend of the moment. I love this look because it allows me to embrace my indecisiveness between chocolate/caramel/ash blonde tones. It can also be rather cost effective and low maintenance. I love adding some lightness here and there to my dark brunette hair but adding highlights can become bothersome when I have to continuously retouch and eventually I end up with a lighter tone all together (Eff that). But with this look, all I really have to do is lighten my ends and allow the top of my hair to grow out au natural or just let my current color grow out - sold!

| from thatjusthappened00.blogspot.com Now this style can definitely get out of control. Tips that I think make the look more effortlessly chic are as follows: No heavy contrasting colors (i.e. black roots with white tips!) You don’t want to look too harsh so unless you are Gaga please stick to gradating similar subtle tones. This works well on both natural blonds and brunettes because it looks as though your hair has just been slightly roughed up by the sun - in a good way. |

Add some texture. Getting the perfect gradation can be tricky, especially if the stylist coloring your hair doesn’t quite see your vision. Stick straight hair tends to give your look away, showing off just how obvious and intentional you meant for your color to be. So I say curl it, braid it, tease it. Adding texture blurs the lines and add some oomph to your already awesome do. And although bold colors on Drew Barrymore may not come off as totally natural, at least her wavy tresses make her look freakin’ cool.
