I love ombre, so it’s no surprise I like ombre’s cousin…otherwise known as dip dye. From furniture and home accessories, to jewelry and handbags, dip-dye is making a huge splash…or dip into the home, fashion and diy worlds.

bonjour ombre

Bonjour ombre! This is a hair trend that I am dying {no pun intended!} to do to my own hair. It is daring, but not too crazy “out there”. I first fell in love with this hairstyle with our beloved Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City. SJP pulled it off in the last season of the series.

Ombre hair has darker roots, and gradually gets lighter down to the hair ends. Typically I see this with longer hair and darker hair color, but you can pull this off with any color hair! Great hair color maintenance – the look is overgrown roots so you don’t have to keep dying your hair so often. This look is also great because the dye job doesn’t have to be perfect – it is supposed to be messy, imperfect, uneven color. Ready, set … ombre!
