The color: Shadowed Roots and Progressive Color
Description: "This trend is very rooted and rich," Thompson said. "This isn't ombré, but the color is progressive, richer at the root and lighter at the ends. The color creates texture and movement. A great look goes from rich chocolate to amber-honey and into blond. This color trend also complements the more blunt-cut lines."
Who it works for: "This works for any variety of layered hair — long or short hair," she explained. "It's great for brunettes who want to play in the blond family without a lot of maintenance or risk." Emma Watson shows how to transition from brunette to a lighter shade here.
Technique: "The technique is color melting," she said. "One color is melted gradually into another which allows different tonal gradation. This technique simulates how the sun lightens hair naturally."
