Ombre hair has been such a huge trend for the past year. It's fresh, low-maintenance and oh-so-pretty. I unintentionally sort of have an ombre look happening when I grow my hair out. I typically dye my hair only every 4-5 months or so. So I let my natural mousy-brown roots grow out until they are a few inches long and then I get highlights all over again.
I'm contemplating going for a more ombre look at my next appointment. My stylist added a few blonder pieces in the front underneath part of my hair at my last appointment to "test the waters" and so far I've enjoyed the subtle change. My new camera makes my hair look a bit lighter than it is, but you get the general idea. The issue with me is that my natural brown color is mousy---so I do like to have the highlights right at the top to sort of disguise that and blend it out. I could have my stylist dye my actual roots a little bit of a warmer shade of brown...but I don't know if I want to do that. We shall see.
Here are some of my favorite ombre looks. Is is me---or does this trend really look best on brunettes? I like it on blonde girls too, but for some reason the look is even more gorgeous on brunette hair, IMO.

Rachel Bilson---she has been rocking this look for a couple of years now---I would definitely say she was one of the earliest adopters of this trend.
Audrina Patridge---not a full-on ombre look, but subtle
Lauren Conrad---loving her shorter hair here too!
Victoria's Secret model Lily Aldridge---gorgeous!
Sarah Jessica Parker---remember the ombre hair she had in the "American in Paris" episodes---that was years ago and I really think Carrie Bradshaw was the first to sport this trend.
Hilary Duff
Jessica Biel---I must admit I was taken aback when I saw these photos---she just looks so stunning and I think her hair is one of the best ombre looks in the bunch.
What do you think of this hair trend? Do you think it will continue to be a trend or will it be old news by 2011? Which celebrity do YOU think has the best ombre hair?
Do you think I should try to go a little more ombre? Let me know in the comments below :)
