African American Women can Rock the Ombre Hair Trend too! – PerfectLocks.com

If you are African American and your tresses are currently dark but you’d still like to have fun with the ombre hair trend, there are many ways to make this happen! Ombre has definitely evolved from clothing and accessories and recently is being seen everywhere on hair! This trend came from everyday women who were too lazy with their touch ups or simply wanted a hint of lighter (or darker!) hair to show near their scalp.

A couple of weeks ago I ran out of my usual Avon foundation and I realised that I didn’t have any spare in my make up drawer. Since my Avon delivery was a little way off, I nipped in to town to pick up a cheap foundation to use in the mean time. I headed straight for the MUA stand in Superdrug as I’d been wanting to try their Professional Matte Foundation for a while, and I picked it up in Shade 1, ‘Soft Sand’, for £2.
