Is Bronde the Hot New Hair Trend?

It's like the Cronut of the beauty world

First, there was ombré. Then there was reverse ombré. Then it was something called “ecaille” that we never really understood anyway. (Apparently it means “tortoiseshell” in French.)

Now the newest hip hair color just might be “bronde,” a hue that’s best described as brunette with a blonde glow. Before you go running to your stylist, take a look at the trend’s evolution, and decide for yourself if it’s more than just hype.
