Anonymous asked: hi :) i love shenae grimes' hair. i want to get ombre hair, and if/when i do, i'd get it like that. however, i have dark skin, and black wavy hair. there is no way i could dye all of my hair, it would look TERRIBLE. my hair suits my skin tone, and nothing else would. so would ombre like that be a bad idea? it'd have to be with black roots. also, would it be necessary to bleach my hair? and if i do, is conditioner enough to keep it healthy? would i need anything more?

why don’t you try getting a fair few highlights. Maybe start with brown tones then work your way lighter - kinda like Kim Kardashians new look http://mystylebell.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/kim-kardashian-hair-twitter-291x300.jpg. Just so it’s not a drastic change. Then, if you feel like it suits you start going a bit lighter. E.g Kim kardashian blonde http://thecount.com/wp-content/uploads/kim14.jpg (sorry for all the Kim Kardashian examples, she’s just one of the only women from the top of my head that works both dark and light hair).

Bleach may be necessary. It really all depends on your hair, maybe try a caramel dye before you try bleach. Also, conditioner will be enough to keep it healthy - but also, don’t do all these bleaching/dying in one single day. Give your hair a little rest between them all. Good luck!! x
