Love - All Aboard the Ombre Train

Unless you've been living under a rock and had no access to any photographs, then you've probably heard of the 'Ombre'trend.
If you haven't heard of it, you will probably have seen it. Imagine darker roots fading to lighter ends - as my mother so nicely put it 'it looks like she's let her roots grow out'.

You can't look in a magazine, on the internet on TV, basically anywhere, without seeing it.

If done right, the fading is gradual and isn't just a block, its a subtle and refreshing way to update your hair without losing any length, or having to retouch colour constantly.
Sounds perfect.

However to achieve the sophia bush look, can that woman do no wrong, my hair dresser decided it wasn't possible (?), so after much internet research, I've done it myself.

The results?

The only half decent photo I could get!

I used the L'Oreal Paris 'Perfect Blonde Creme' Highlight Kit as all the blogs/videos told me you need a bleach (very important)and it worked really well. As a home hair dye newbie, I was a little scared. So scared I bought a spare hairdye just in case it all went wrong.

Heres the method. Blink and you'll miss it.
Mix, Scrunch, Wait, Wash, Repeat.
Repeat is a little complicated, you want to 'scrunch' the bleach lower down, to create the fade.
By scrunching you don't get a line, and you really don't want a line.
Literally that simple.

My only tip? Be prepared to buy a good conditioning mask. The bleach makes it damaged, so to keep it from looking 'dead and gross' and more 'shiny and new', a conditioner is needed! Once I've Tested mine out for a bit longer, I'll do a review, but at the moment I'm liking lots!

How do you get that quick update look? And how tempted are you to jump on the bandwagon?
