According to L’Oréal Professionnel Artist, Jason Backe, “Sombré is a fantastic evolution from ombré. There is no drastic change from dark to light, instead we see an effortless and natural evolution of color with just the right amount of dimension – the results are major.” For the trendy chick in your life, give her the L’Oreal InoaColor Care Gift Set ($49.60, Find a salon), which includes INOAColor Care Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner to maintain the intensity and shine of her new fly ‘do.
