My sister asked me this:
"Is it too late to Ombre my hair?!? Is it like if I just asked for the Jennifer Aniston hair cut!?"
So this blog post is one great big answer for my sister and any of you wondering the same thing!?
As you know, the Ombre trend has been around for a bit now...
So has, having hair, coloring it, highlighting it, darkening it, coloring the ends...braiding it.
If you look at pinterest, you might just ban yourself from ever braiding your hair because you might tired of seeing all the thousands of braided hair styles! ha ha ha
AS YOU CAN SEE....
ol LEFTY, is dark, just as they'd call me and my sister when we were little:
"the girls with the black hair"...
And we'd be like:
"NO, it's really dark brown!"
SO HERE'S MY ANSWER:
Ombre for the hair is kinda like the smokey eye look for your eyeshadow....it's dark and sultry then fades to the "outerlimits" of lightness....
Going lighter for summer always feels fun.
You feel like you look more tan, even if your not.
It makes you feel like perhaps you actually spent time outdoors, even if you don't have time to.
And change is GOOD!
Any change is good to throw some new-ness in the mix OF YOUR LIFE.
And to all the "Ombre is so out"...."I ombred my hair 5 years ago when no one was doing it"- people out there that make you wonder if you should even Ombre your hair....
IT JUST HAIR....
I say Ole' to Ombre...yes still.
Jump on the Ombre train...because nothing new has really popped up in hair color trends...besides coloring the tips of your hair (yeah I've got a video for that too- CLICK HERE tO SEE IT) or streaking it with color...
and if the next trend is just going all dark....that's not really that exciting, that's what I looked like before!
DON'T GET BOSSED AROUND BY TRENDS!
DON'T GET BULLIED BY THE "OH, THAT'S SO LAST YEAR" GROUP.
WEAR WHAT YOU LOVE...WHAT YOU LIKE, WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY...
IF EXPERIENCING THE FUN OF THE OMBRE IS SOMETHING YOU HAVEN'T DONE...GIVE IT A WHIRL.
DON'T LIVE IN FEAR OF WHAT OTHERS WILL THINK ANYWAY- THERE ARE TOO MANY NEGATIVE, JUDGEMENTAL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO LIVE FOR CASTING THEIR JUDGEMENT ON ANYONE AND EVERYTHING THEY SEE.
THANKFULLY, THERE ISN'T A REAL FASHION POLICE, HAIR STYLE POLICE OR MAKE-UP POLICE....
So wear what you love, well maybe except those old "hammer pants" you might have hiding in your closet....NO, you know what!? If you like the hammer pants and they make you happy- WEAR EM- you just might bring them back in style!
BOTTOM LINE....
it's just hair that looks yummy and melty, and gradually gets lighter at the ends...if you haven't done it and want to.....try it...and if anyone gives you any hassle, just tell em' "well, Kandee is still Ombred and she doesn't even give a hoot if someone complains that her earrings don't match. So, put your "hair trend police badge down....I'll ombre ALL day ERRY DAY!"
and if you wanna try it...you can head for a salon and leave feeling ready to Ombre Fiesta or if you wanna give it a whirl at DIY Ombre, I made a little "How to Ombre Video"..AS SEEN ON YOUTUBE- ha ha ha:

final words: don't let a "trend-watcher" scare you away from trying something because you didn't do it when everyone else did....
I'm out like a rap star....."I OM-BRE...ALL DAY ERRY' DAY".....peace out, K-DAZZLE
