Surely you’ve heard of ombre highlights (and please, for the love of Moroccanoil, stop pronouncing it HOMBRE–it’s ahm-br) by now, the hottest hair color concept of 2010. The key to getting the look to be more glombre (glam + ombre–courtesy of my epic stylist Matthew Fugate) and less… hombre is to ensure your H-lights are within the same color family as your roots–and that you keep it within four shades of difference.
Once you get the right shade, you can rock roots to your heart’s content. Laziness never looked so good. Viva glombre!
What do you think about ombre highlights?

I really, really wanted this, but can’t find a place that can do them right. Where does Lily Aldrige go? Riddle me that.
I was a huge fan of ombre hair all summer, but now not so much. I think if it’s done subtley (a la Rachel Bilson), then it can still look great… but the really dark roots/really light ends just doesn’t do it for me.
