The hottest trend is ombre hair — a balayage hair dying technique in which the hair is darkest at the roots, lighter midway down the hair shaft, and lightest at the ends.

I admit – I probably have awful self-esteem!! I had no idea so many people read this blog!! I posted the $50 gift card giveaway and then — like a moron! — I didn’t check my comments for a week. You see, I normally don’t get many comments! I’m in the habit of only getting […]
