15 of the best celebrity looks that prove ombre hair is so not over
See the best celebrity ombre hair »
For as long as we can remember (and by that we mean since approximately 2010), the ombre has been hot. Ascending the ranks of typical two-year hair trend cycles, the ombre has proved perennial: it just keeps coming back. And although we can’t exactly pinpoint when and how the trend came to be (one too many missed trips to the hair salon could be a possibility), there is no doubt that many celebs have caught the ombre bug, including two of its earliest adopters, Jessica Alba and Nicole Richie.
The classic ombre (think Sarah Jessica Parker) shows no signs of departing, but an edgy dark versus light a la Demi Lovato has become more and more popular in recent years. If standing out from the pack is your thing, Brit It girl, Poppy Delevingne works a reverse take on it that may be one of the best celebrity ombre hair looks we’ve seen. And then there is Kylie Jenner whose hairstyles may not be considered ombre per se, but the dip dye-like effect is definitely one chic version we know many fans will follow suit this season. Still think ombre hair is so last year? From Olivia Wilde to Jared Leto, we track down 15 of the best celebrity ombre hair looks that prove the gradient is so not over.
