It's a well known fact that women are always looking for the perfect hair style. It has been estimated that 50 percent of women over the age of 25 color their hair. In 1998, a study showed that women in the United States spend over 2 billion dollars just to do this coloring. As that is an older statistic, one can only imagine how much that number has grown. Well ladies, I am here to be the enabler and let you in on the 2 hottest trends going on right now in the hair coloring industry.
Ombré is defined as a shading or gradient tonal change in color. And guess what? It is the cutting edge when it comes to hair coloring. This style needs to be done at a salon unless you are the MacGyver of home hair coloring. The process involves "painting on" a color variation down the length of the hairs in sections without starting at the top. More advanced salons may even do this several times, alternating the length of time the color sets. The resulted look is a steady change of color that looks deliberate instead of like poorly maintained roots. The nice thing about this trend is that you can make the look as drastic or subtle as you want. Mahogany to flaxen? Sure. Espresso to warm chestnut? Why not?
Next on the docket we have something a little less multi-tonal and a lot more 'hot like fire'. Red... and not the dirty orange-ish flavor. We are talking about 5-alarm-fire engine red hair. The bold locks of leading ladies like Christina Hendricks may have gotten the ball rolling, but this trend is spreading like wildfire. Check out some inspiring hues below.
Final Verdict: Try something new this season to break the dull monotony of the winter drabness. You might be surprised at the warm reception you'll get.
