While some people thought the ombré look would be a fleeting trend, it’s proved to have some serious staying power.
And for good reason: Ombré hair is flattering on everyone, no matter if you have blond, brown, red, gray or rainbow-colored hair. The only problem with ombré is that it’s not exactly simple to do on your own. Store-bought ombré kits are difficult to use, and giving yourself an ombré manicure looks super simple on Pinterest and Instagram, but usually ends up as a big fail when done at home.
