"Teyana Taylor with Ombre Hair"

This isn’t the first appearance of the ombre trend on the scene, but it sure has gained a strong following. The trend has bounced from clothing, to nails, and, most recently, landed on hair. The look was originally worn by women that were growing out their light hair color or by those that were a bit lazy with the touch ups. Well, looks like they have the last laugh because the ombre style has evolved into a purposeful style that many celebs are showing off on the red carpets. Go figure!

Teyana Taylor (pictured above) looks great as she pushed the trend to the extreme with pastels, but the rest of our list is full of trendsetters that embrace more natural hues. Let’s all lighten up and get inspired!

    I stopped clicking half way. Too many pages lol

  • Jolie

    I’m so glad you guys put Aaliyah on the list because she was doing this in the late 90′s/early 00′s and I wanted the look then because of her!

    Ombre looks best when the hair isn’t too long or too straight or too drastic of color change (imo)…so Raven, Draya, Ciara were all thumbs down for me.

    Keke’s hair is all things lovely and Teyana’s take on ombre matches her personality and looks really cute.

    Ciara, on everything you do — your hair, your style, your music — just stop. Take a minute, call up your team, and get it together girl because all in all you’re just a mess.

      Lol.
      Too funny.
      Pple need to stoo w.these ugly weaves n bad colors

  • Rachael

    My favorite is Teyana Taylor. The purple mixed with the brown on the ends was just too cute and totally different from everybody else.
    I really dislike the super blonde on Ciara. Its too bright. 

    • Nitty

      She always has a full head of hair
      I wonder if it’s hers

  • Jackieo Perkins

    All these changing hair “trends” keep women striving for something that isn’t attainable naturally. Short hair one season, long hair the next, different colors — this is merely manipulation by the fashion and beauty industry to keep women spending money. Worse than that is it keeps women spending money on hair that’s sold by people who won’t even allow African American businesses to make a profit from it.

    • Msmykimoto2u

      I agree with women overly spending money on hair and yes it is sad that blacks hardly have any part in this buisness but I dont think its too big of deal for women to want to change up their looks with a weave. its a good protective style too *when done correctly of course*

  • Cscott37

    All I can say is thank goodness I don’t wear weaves…….wow!

  • iReezy

    My first thoughts went to Aaliyah when I started this article – I’m glad she was added on the list!  But my favorite ombre look from the chosen women is hands down KeKe Palmer.  My least favorite?  Ciara…
