the root of the problem
Today I got my hair done…after not going to the beauty parlor for ten weeks! Yes, you heard me. Ten freaking weeks! This coming from the girl who was so blonde that I had to run to the salon every three weeks because the roots were so extreme. I’m a more natural blonde now, and although I miss being the platinum pinup, I sure do love saving all that money at the salon…and the color is quite purdy as well :)
I was there to get my normal root touch up, but I was contemplating something else. Everywhere I go I’ve been seeing this trend called ombre, which means “gradiant” in French, and it’s when the root of the hair is dark then it gradually gets lighter to the end of the strands. It’s been around for a while, but I’m really seeing it a lot lately…even one of the stylists at the salon was rocking it! Personally, I love this trend, I think it looks so bohemian in a kind of “I don’t give a shit, I’m just living my life” way. And it could let me grow my hair out for ten weeks or more and be able to back up my laziness with “oh no this root look is totally intentional!”
What do you think? Does it just look like these girls need to get their booties to the salon pronto? Or are you digging the look?
