A New Hair Trend: Sombre Hairstyle

• As we all know, ombre hairstyle is a popular hair color phenomena among plenty of female celebrities from Drew Barrymore and Blake Lively to Emily Blunt. More and more females are trying this hairstyle.
• In 2016, the ombre backlash has started - we knew the day would come. But don't worry - the ombre hair trend isn't going to hair trend heaven quite yet, it's just going in a new direction. According to our hair stylist insiders, the next big thing is "Sombre hair".
•  “The Sombre look is all about a softer version of Ombre – the appearance of dark roots is less harsh than before and color is seamlessly melted together”, says Bruno Elorrioroz, color expert for Aveda. Sombre goes beyond balayage, it works by the hairdresser taking a darker hue found at the roots of your hair, and subtly weaving that through to create less of an abrupt color contrast from the roots to the ends.
• "The key to achieving The Sombre is to use more colors; taking the darker hue found at the roots and subtly weaving it through the lengths of the hair to ultimately create less of an abrupt contrast from roots to ends."
• The Sombre trend can work for any guest, and roots are kept natural for a low-maintenance appeal. "Use tones that are a few shades lighter and a few shades darker than the natural color base for  the most natural and complementary result for your skin tone." says Bruno.  The subtle shifts in shades needed are created using the Aveda Full Spectrum color system,a 96% naturally-derived formula completely customizable for each individual, and enabling Aveda Artists to create the tiniest tweaks in tone with an innovative lifting crème, whilst infusing hair with healthy-looking shine, powered by essential oils of sunflower, castor and jojoba. 
• While we think this look is PERFECT for blondes (ombre hair is a tricky one for blondes, after all), we thinks it's still a good look for brunette hair. Especially flattering for brunettes, adding soft gold, honey and caramel shades to lighten without the hassle of regrowth.
