Ombre Hair is basically when you have dark roots, going down in a gradient effect to light ends/tips. It's a very low-maintenance style and I personally think it looks great!
This look has been worn by many celebrities such as: Shenae Grimes, Leighton Meester, Lauren Conrad, Sophia Bush, Alexa Chung, Lily Alridge, Lea Michele, Vanessa Hudgens and more recently (VMAS 2011) Demi Lovato
It's very simple to do yourself according to bloggers such as Zoella (http://schoee.blogspot.com/2010/09/diy-ombre-hair.html) and Llymlrs (http://www.llymlrs.com/2010/08/how-to-diy-ombre-hair_06.html).
Positive points about Ombre Hair!
- Low Maintenance
- Easy to DIY, therefore saving a trip to the salon and your money!
- Doesn't require root 'touch-ups'
- Looks very beachy / sun-kissed if you like that look
- Can look very stylish and on-trend with the celebs
- A way for brunettes to be blonde without going all the way or worrying about roots!
REMEMBER:
When Ombre-ing your hair, a normal blonde hair dye will not work. You have to use a highlighting or lightening kit because blonde hair dye will not lighten your hair - it will just go ginger, or a similar brassy tone.. Good Luck if you're trying it yourself!
I myself bought some hair bleach (Live Color XXL) and am planning on trying it! So look out for my blog post showing my new ombre hair! I hope it goes well because I go back to school on Monday LOL, I don't want to embarrass myself!

WOW i want to try this!! :)
i want to try it out!
Love this look!
ombre hair is pretty when it's curled. flat straight hair looks nasty with an ombre effect
I really like it as long as the colours are 'natural'. I've seen some pretty crazy pink ombre hair and wasn't really a fan!
Olivia Snyder: Thanks for the info!! I'm glad yours turned out well! And yeah I agree that it isn't that common in the 'real world' - at my school there isn't anyone with Ombre hair, and well, I've never ever seen anyone with ombre hair in real life! Thanks :)
I just dyed my hair ombre and I LOVE IT! I get SO many compliments on it and it looks amazing. At first I bleached the ends of my hair but it was way too drastic for me, so I had toner put on and now it looks perfect. It looks so pretty and I absolutely love the way it looks. Plus it's different and even though it's a huge hit with celebrities right now, it isn't that common in the "real world". I'm so happy with mine turned out and I plan on keeping it for a long time. I hope it works out for you!
