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.
The supermodel made the switch from platinum blonde to “brunette with a blonde glow” late last year.
She became the new face of the #GoBronde L’Oréal movement, which is, apparently, “sexier than a blonde, spicier than a brunette.”
Lively posted an Instagram with the hashtag “#GoBronde” and later followed with “#NoTypos-IKnowIThinkItsCrazyToo.”
Professional stylists say it’s pretty easy to do, and the look actually gets better as it fades with time. Just bring your hairdresser a picture of the exact color you’re going for, since perception of #Bronde varies within the industry.
But plenty of people have been rocking the look since before it was cool.
