Definition of Ombré
French Origin; Having colors or
tones that shade into each other —used especially of fabrics in which the color
is graduated from light to dark.
Most women would be lying if they were to say that they have
never used the word "ombré"
when discussing hair color ideas with their stylist. From drastic differences
in color to gradual changes the look has been around for quite a while. I
personally think the ombré
hair color trend first arrived on the scene in the Sex and the City series.
Carrie Bradshaw rocked this look in the later episodes of the show. The series
ended in 2004 which means roughly about seven to eight years later the look
really took off again. Lauren Conrad, The Kardashians, and every Victoria
Secret model have been huge influences of this look.
So, why won't the look ever be just a fad? The answer is
really quite simple. If done right; a gradual difference from dark to light and
avoiding brassy tones, creates a look that is effortless and easy. Every woman wants to
have that hair color that looks done but not too done, you know, perfect but not
too perfect. Ombré
creates that image. As ombré
moves forward into the future you will notice a subtle difference from dark to
light with maybe a few highlights through the top and sides to break up the
color. So whether you like this look or not it is here to stay and who knows
maybe like the very own definition of the word, ombré will gradually grow on you.
