The Ombre Experiment hair color, hair products, highlights, how to, model's hair | (9)
I've been toying around with the idea of doing my own ombre hair for a while--actually, ever since I did that post on How To: DIY Ombre Hair! I talked myself into it by writing that post.

Carefree Hair bangs, updo | Comments Off on Carefree Hair
