Thought the dip-dye trend was dead? Think again! A-listers are still loving ombre locks...
What exactly is Ombre?
Ombré is a French word that literally means "shaded like a gradient." Roots remain dark while the rest of the hair becomes lighter mid-shaft using a balayage technique. Check out this photo of model Lily Aldridge. Her dark to light color is a great example of ombré. This trend is also referred to as "surfer strands."
As Merriam-Webster defines it:
om·bré / having colors or tones that shade into each other —used especially of fabrics in which the color is graduated from light to dark.
It’s been spotted on plenty of A-list celebs:
Lauren Conrad
Rachel Bilson
Kate Winslet
Whitney Port
Finally, a trend that doesn’t require a busy woman of the world to run to the salon every 6-10 weeks for a touch-up!
In the past year, the ombre trend has made quite a splash across fashion runways and into the home decor industry. The colorful trend can be spotted in hair color, shower curtains, nail enamel, cell phone covers and even shoes!
