Kristen Wiig (37) above and Jade Williams (below) both have the Ombre hair color style. It's the latest trend which often causes a visceral reaction. It's difficult to love and easy to hate. The Dancing With The Stars forum on ABC's website, for example, lit up with complaints when Lacey Schwimmer had the look. By a margin of about 10:1 women said they didn't like it. She was quickly voted off. Kristen, however, has the best type of Ombre coloring because of the fairly gradual transition and the contrast isn't too extreme. There's a brown base then reddish blonde. In addition, the design itself is pretty cool, which is frankly a requirement to make it successful. Ordinary won't cut it. You have to think like rockers; as you may have already noticed, they frequently have both edgy hairstyles and hues.
Jade Williams (26) could make you frown or cause your eyes pop in alarm: "What was she thinking?" How could such a beautiful girl have such horrible hair?! It's not clear if it was done on purpose or by accident, but it's fashionable, so let's give Jade the benefit of the doubt. Although you can't draw a line between where one color ends and the other begins, the intense difference is disturbing. The least she could do is choose two colors which go together. The other problem is the plain shape for the reason noted in the previous review.
Sarah Harding (29) was a blonde only a few weeks ago, as she had been for years, but then she suddenly went brunette. However, it doesn't seem any more positive a development than when Britney Spears did something similar in 2004. The general response of the public (70%) said she looked better as a blonde. The lack of styling doesn't help sell the new hue, either. Sarah just brushed her hair back, which isn't really a style. The cut and color are not doing anything for her; they are just too bland, and unsuitable for her reputation and career.
