Trendy Fall Hair Colors: Sombré If you haven't heard yet, sombré stands for "soft-" or "subtle ombré," says de Souza. As we probably all remember, ombré had a major moment a few years ago, thanks to celebrities like Gisele Bundchen and Lauren Conrad, and was a much starker, dip-dyed look. Sombré is the "modernized version" -- softer and more refined, meant to resemble hair that's been naturally lightened by the sun. Celebs like Jessica Alba and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley debuted the fall hair color last year, and it is still going strong.
Part of sombré's continued popularity is that it's "very low-maintenance allowing your hair to grow out naturally," says de Souza. Unlike the ombré of 2011, sombré doesn't pair two dramatic colors together. Instead, your base color casually transitions into lighter shades with "strategically placed highlights around the face, which cascade into heavy highlights at the ends," de Souza explains.
