Fall Back with Ombré

You feel that cool breeze this morning? Having the itch to switch up your hair color? Yep, that's fall just around the corner. The 'new' style this season is Ombré. What is this Ombré you speak of? Well according to The Hair Color Gods & well www.yourdictionary.com it's the "shaded or graduated in tone: said of a color". Key word GRADUATED. That is the difference between ombré & simply needing a root touch up!

Blonde with Roots-

Ombré = Gradual
Keep it in the family, now is not the time to play with contrasting colors.

Definitely Do-

Please, i'm begging you DON'T-

Afraid to take the Ombré Plunge? Peek-a-Boo highlights are a great alternative this fall. Start by darkening your base color & adding more vibrant highlights under your part & scattered throughout.
Perfect Example of Peek-a-Boo highlights on the beautiful Jennifer Lopez.

VERY Honorable Mention!

Almost a year ago Ree Drummond AKA The Pioneer Woman came to Atlanta for her cook book tour. We arived around 6:30 p.m., we didn't actually get to her until about 11:15 p.m. There were over 400 people, but she still had a smile on her face, and was very nice. I was almost positive the little Sock Monkey would make in on her blog. She was so in love with him! Much to our surprise the BFF's Hair was the spotlight of her blog post! It's extremely flattery when someone truly appreciates the beauty of your tallent, and well the model isn't hard on your eyes either. Here's our little photo diary from the book signing.
