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!

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.
