New Celeb Hair Trend: So Long Ombre, Hello Sombre!
As ombre fades out (pun intended), the color trend is being taken over by sombre, a more subtle version of ombre. It’s a faded look with highlights added around the face and a much more gradual descent into a brighter shade of your natural hair color. Thanks to the more polished look it’s equally suited for redheads, blondes and brunettes and is perfect for taking your summer hair into winter. Check out these 13 celebrities who are rocking the trend to get inspired!
