Silver to Blonde Ombre

This gorgeous lady has bucked the trend and opted for a light and bright hair colour scheme for the Fall season, as opposed to rich and warm, and we must say – we absolutely love it!

She’s opted for a stunning and glamorous curled style, adding ringlets to the hair from the jaw down, which perfectly accentuates the purple layer she’s chosen in a fashionable and beautiful way.

Chestnut Brown Curly Hair

Many of the hairstyles featured thus far have included multiple colour tones and fancy blends from one shade to another, but we think that opting for one solid colour can be equally effective and every bit as beautiful. This gorgeous chestnut brown hair has been curled to perfection and looks oh so stunning, don’t you agree?
