"Bronde"...blonde and brown, that is

The new blonde is bronde...a mixture of both blonde and brown shades in hair. I have a lot of clients who have come in the last 6 months requesting darker shades of their traditional blonde highlights. Variations of this look are often referred to as "ombre". Ombre is French for shade or shadow.

Here is a client who requested more dimension in her hair color and shades of brown woven into the hair...very similar to the way hair highlights say, for example, if you surfed for a living and had salt and sun naturally highlighting your hair.
