Ombre Hair Color for fall 2011
The Ombre is a fancy word for a technique of coloring the hair, the color darker at the base and then shows brighter and lighter at the tips of trees and on the mid-shaft. The key to this brunette hair color trends is to ensure that the darker shade at the root is soft and gradually bleeds out.
How to choose the appropriate type of brown highlights depends on whether your hair is warm-toned or cool-toned. Examples of warm-toned hair has golden or reddish undertones. Cool-toned hair pick beige and ash browns. Warm or cool tones of your hair should suit to your highlights. Experiment with blonde highlights if your hair is in light brown region to middle brown.
