Remember when ombré hair was all the rage in the early 2000's? I distinctly remember asking my mom if I could dye my hair in middle school (can you tell I was clearly hype to be a part of the cool kid club?!?) Well, news flash: the trend never went anywhere. Ombré hair has managed to stand the test of time as a tried-and-true dye job that looks so damn good on blondes. Not ready to commit to being a full-on blonde? Problem solved. Being a "Bronde" (blonde + brunette) is the best of both worlds, and there are countless ombré styles to help you achieve that. Ahead are 15 styles to screenshot for your stylist.
