ombre

Wednesday, March 2

Photobucket
Turns out. I don't have what it takes to be a blond. Namely - being at the salon every three weeks to prevent those terrific trailer-trashified roots we all know and love. I have loved the Ombre look for FOR.EVER. My first word was Ombre believe it or not. {Just because my mom denies it doesn't mean it's not true} But whenever I've requested this look at different salons in the area, I've never found anyone willing to do it for me. UNTIL I found Kayleigh. And when I find a gem, I have to share. Rules of gem-finding, duh. So here ye, here ye - LADIES OF REXBURG. Run your little roots right over to this chica. She will do you right. Plus she's adorable. Plus she's affordable. Plus she has great hair. Plus we're friends now. Plus you don't need any more pluses. That's plenty.

And because I love you {and your locks} here's her numba: 208-740-1018. She works at Radiance.

Peace Out. I'm off to twizzle my hair and celebrate kicking my test's tushie this morning.

I have been OBSESSED with the Ombre look forever! The girl on 90120 has the perfect hair and Ombre look. I LOVE it on you! Yay for new hair.

I have been dying to get the ombre look forever myself. Looks great!

March 02, 2011 1:28 PM

You make me want to EXPERIMENT with the same ol' same ol' hair do I've had since high school.

You give me strength. Keep it coming though- I'm stubborn and need more pushing!

This look is really cute on you! I've been wanting to do something new with my hair for a while now, but I have no clue WHAT to do...a change of color IS always fun :)

LOVE THIS LOOK! I can't find anyone to do my hair like this either and I'm in Southern Ontario. Its not as big here as it is elsewhere.

March 02, 2011 1:35 PM

i'm DYING to try the ombre look but can't work up the nerves to do it!! i'm so nervous and honestly haven't found a hair stylist that i like yet
since i moved to NC... wish i lived where you are, b/c your hair looks amazing!! you pull it off sooooo well, so chic and cool. :)

i wish i could die my hair but i'd never get back my original color! looks gorgeous.

Very cute look! I have always been too scared to try ombre locks. Congrats on kicking some test-bootay!

March 02, 2011 1:40 PM

I'm thinking of trying an ombre look out myself. Yours looks so cute!

March 02, 2011 1:43 PM

I love it! I have ombre hair too and for all you girls too scared to do it. Go for it! You will love it.

Sydney, Ombre heads unite!!

Btw: I'm Taylor. Love your blog!

March 02, 2011 1:46 PM

Looks fantastic! I love the ombre look! I sorta have a not-nearly-as-awesome ombre look, but that's just because I'm too lazy to get my hurr did.

So ... here's the thing. My name is Kayley. I am a hair stylist. And my hair is ombre-esque. I think this post might actually be kind of about me and you didn't know it. ;)

I love the look on you - super cute with your bangs!

March 02, 2011 1:55 PM

Can you please let me know how you style your bangs. I have had my blunt cut bangs for a while and unless I go to the salon everyday, I can never style them to look how I like. I love yours everyday! Help!

Ooh, I love it! I think the darker hair around your face suits you a bit more too!

Oh my! It looks FABULOUS! I to recently found a hair goddess! It's such a refreshing feeling!!

I hope I will be as cute as you someday.
Well, I can dream, can’t I? ;)

JEALOUS! I'm normally blond, and I wanted this look for over a year. I was so excited when I found someone who would do it... Only it didn't work, I just ended up with brown hair... I DO NOT myself with brown hair.

March 02, 2011 2:07 PM

She does my eyebrows :) she's a cutie :)

March 02, 2011 2:09 PM

i wish i was brave enough to let a hairstylist recreate ombre hair for me. but alas, i do not trust many people (too many freak accidents). so i'm going the au natural way and letting it grow..and i have a long way to go. i'm jealous of your instant ombre. looks great!

rebeccawithanR

March 02, 2011 2:14 PM

I managed to do the ombre look myself- it's REALLY low maintenance, and all it takes is literally slapping some bleach on the ends of your hair!
My hair is really dark brown, and it looks great. Anyone wondering if they should jump on the bandwagon - do it!!

March 02, 2011 2:15 PM

Your hair looks great, although I'm not sure I understand this whole "Ombre" thing. Oh, and congrats on acing your test!

March 02, 2011 2:16 PM

Love it! I've been wanting to try it out but I've never colored my hair.

March 02, 2011 2:17 PM

Your hair looks great here!! I been thinking about the ombre look for a while I think I'm going to try it out.

I am not totally convinced with the angle and lighting of this picture. The contrast seems drastic! I do love me some natural looking ombre. I posted a penelope cruz inspiration pic on my blog last week. Ombre will be mine in a few short days.

March 02, 2011 2:23 PM

Great minds think alike!! I went blonde a few months ago and I hate it! Promised my hubs that I would keep for Vegas (we just returned) and my appt. to do OMBRE is March 25th!! I've been carrying a photo of LC so I hope my hairstylist can do it!! You look B-E-A-UTIFUL!!! =)

March 02, 2011 2:31 PM

pret-tay! love it (: so is ombre the same as melting? (um, obviously i don't know because i'm foreign. not because i'm completely out of anything fashionable and cool...)

March 02, 2011 2:33 PM

I have never heard of this style before (I don't know much about hair..haha) but it looks great on you! It's fun to experiment, especially with hair, because it can always grow back! =)=)

I love ombre hair! Ahh, you just keep getting more amazing every single day. :)

March 02, 2011 2:35 PM

looks great! and as another former blonde with too quick roots, cannot tell you how freeing it is to NOW color my hair when i feel like it, not because i have to/need to.

March 02, 2011 2:41 PM

Looks great! Not gonna lie, some people's ombre just ends up looking like some super bad roots going on, but yours looks amazing. Kudos to Kayleigh :)

March 02, 2011 2:44 PM

omg Mrs. P check out my blog. I too am in love with Ombre hair. I had my fried do it on me but she didn't color my base (my dark dark that already had some redish highlights) over and just added highlights to the bottom half of my hair. so, last week i took a box of color and dyed my hair dark just on top of my head lol. that added more contrast and now im satisfied. Check me out: http://apearlintheworld.blogspot.com it's subtle but i need subtle. I havent done blonde in my hair for a while but plan on lightening up by the summer.

ANYWAYS you look sooooo chic! i love it sydney honestly! so hot!

March 02, 2011 2:44 PM

I'm a hairstylist and I LOVE ombre hair color. I have a version of it right now. So funky but still classy. You look great!

March 02, 2011 4:01 PM

Pretty! I love this look, but it definetely takes a stylish lady (ie. you) to pull it off.

March 02, 2011 4:15 PM

AMAZING! that ombre style hair looks great in you... now following! I really like you blog.

March 02, 2011 4:36 PM

I dyed my hair for the first time this past fall, and i took the plunge for ..... the OMBRE. i dont normally post links, scouts honor, but here's what mine looked like: http://laurenlyles.blogspot.com/2011/01/hey-remember-that-time.html

you want to see it, dont you? mmmhmmm. :) it is SUCH a fun hairstyle, but alas, i might not have enough fun to be a blonde. right now, in gingerlust, i've dyed my hair for the second time... so now, i basically have an auburn ombre. not bad, i must say. i don't know why i felt compelled to share so much about two toned hair, but... it looks great! hair love <3

March 02, 2011 4:59 PM

love your new look girl!! hot hot hot!!

March 02, 2011 5:10 PM

Love the solid dark bangs! I have ombre'd hair. Except I went lighter on my ends and not any darker on the roots. I did it myself, beauty school pays :]

Oh. My goodness. Can I be honest? Really really honest? You look ten times more like you now. There. I said it. Not that all blonde Sydney wasn't a total cutie-pie, but she WAS a wee bit washed out.

Lovely to see you back to your bombshell self!

March 02, 2011 5:34 PM

Ooooh looks great. I too was blonde for a while and let my roots grow til it looks putrid. I then died it your new colour which is just a little darker than my natural colour and since it has faded, my old blonde is peaking through making a naturalish ombre look. BIG FAN!

So apparently everyone in the world except me and two others on here knows what this ombre look is. I have never ever heard of it! I am googling it right now and getting in the loop here.
Whatever it is, it looks good on you my dear.

March 02, 2011 7:01 PM

super cute! love this look.

debating on rocking the bangs look. i did it a couple of summers ago - just hated how long it took for my hair to grow back...but this girl, is inspiring!

March 02, 2011 7:04 PM

Hey! That looks fantastic! I never knew the word 'ombre' before (or the style for that matter). Good luck on your test!

March 02, 2011 7:28 PM

You look beautiful! I have ombre hair too but at first it was a nightmare, as you I couldn't find someone willing to do it and when I finally did, he did such a horrible job I wanted to cry. Fortunately, I found later another hairstylist who knew what he was doing and could fix it (thank god!) but still keeping the effect. Now I'm thinking of darken it as fall is coming here and it looks more like a spring/summer look to me. xoxo

i knew about ombre in the art and fashion world but never knew til now it applied to hair. it looks great but i want more pics :) i have mid ombre hair but it's more because i haven't done my roots in 7 months lol when i got my bangs cut my friend was like- they are a different color than your hair- how retro. i said, it's not on purpose. it's just cause i'm lazy and broke because we are adopting. it looks great and intentional on you!

I've never heard of the Ombre look before.
But it looks good! Although I think it's the color combo that works. If it was like, really blonde and then black...not so much. Or maybe it doesn't matter the colors?

March 03, 2011 1:35 PM

I love the ombre look since i saw my bff rachel bilson rocking it. but since i have never ever dyed my tresses I try to talk all my friends into the look!

March 03, 2011 2:02 PM

love the new hair! super cute.

i also wanted to tell you how much i appreciate the way you express your love & respect for your husband on your blog. you are always complimenting him or commenting on how wonderful your marriage is; i think it's so great. you've inspired me to work on complimenting my husband more, especially since his love language is words of affirmation!

thanks for having such a genuine & awesome blog!
