"I&amp;amp;#8217;m normally pretty good at predicting when beauty trends are waning (remember feather extensions? I nailed that coffin with my own two hands), but I&amp;amp;#8217;ve been soooo wrong about ombre. This trend&amp;amp;#8217;s nine lives were up three seasons ago (or so I thought), but it&amp;amp;#8217;s still going strong. I chatted up Tracey Cunningham, a Hollywood colorist who has ombre&amp;amp;#8217;ed the likes of Jessica Biel, Minka Kelly, and Lily Aldridge, and I have to admit that I was secretly hoping she&amp;amp;#8217;d say, &amp;amp;#8220;Yep, ombre is dead!&amp;amp;#8221; But no.&amp;amp;#8220;Ombre is here to stay,&amp;amp;#8221; Tracey told me. And the reason is it&amp;amp;#8217;s become so subtle, natural, and wearable. Or at least it should be if you&amp;amp;#8217;re doing it right. Plus, Tracey thinks that ombre has given brunettes more options than they used to have. &amp;amp;#8220;You&amp;amp;#8217;re giving girls with dark hair options other than just having stripy blond hair all over their head. Which is what they used to do,&amp;amp;#8221; she told me. A few tips from her:*Don&amp;amp;#8217;t walk into your salon asking for ombre. Always bring a picture instead. It&amp;amp;#8217;s easier for your stylist to visualize that way. *If you end up with a solid sheet of blond at the bottom, get it fixed. This is Tracey&amp;amp;#8217;s biggest pet peeve. She normally uses two to three colors plus a gloss for a really subtle look. It should be gradual, not like you dipped your ends in bleach. So, what do we think of model Amber Le Bon&amp;#x27;s version, which she wore to an Agent Provocateur party in London yesterday?Ombre: Pro or con, and does any of this change your mind about the trend? (Which we should probably stop calling a trend and just call a style now. Sigh.) Photos: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
