I’ve kept my natural hair color for 5 years now and started itching for a change. The allure of being a natural brunette faded and in crept visions of layered, prismatic highlights and sun-kissed glows on my tresses. I had highlighted my hair for years prior to my au naturál state and had a yearning for color once again. I am not normally one to follow trends but the Ombré style highlights with their slow, dramatic reverse crescendo of dark roots to gradually lighter tips piqued my interest. I booked it for my locks and these are my results.

This is a really pretty, low maintenance look for the brunette who wants to add some oumph to her hair. Credit goes to Moe at Pilo Arts in Bay Ridge.
