I just succumbed to my craving for lighter summer hair—after more than a year of detoxing from highlights, I went and got a full head's worth (although they are quite subtle and low-maintenance). Have any of you been wanting to go a little more blond now that the weather's finally warming up? After I show you the following two photos, I bet you will be. First up: Check out Lauren Conrad's ombre hair, as seen at a Kentucky Derby event over the weekend. She gets this look by sticking very-blond extensions under her darker blond hair. (Here's what L.C. looks like without the extensions.) Isn't that a fun and noncommittal way to brighten up for summer? Love it. Next, I had to post this photo of Kate Bosworth at an event in NYC Saturday night. Like Lauren, she's more blond on the ends than up top, but she's more brunette overall. Just. Gorgeous. I do not think it would be possible for me to love a hair color more. What do you think of these two ombre blond hair looks?
