As a child, people would always ask me about the dot in the middle of my cheek. I struggled with self esteem as I tried to work around a large mole on my face, but over time, I learned how to make it work. Believe it or not, my mole has actually become the focal point of my modeling career. Critics have said that it gives my look a little personality. It isn't always easy to feel beautiful, especially if something about you is different. I decided to create a beauty blog dedicated to helping others learn how to make their quirks work for them.

Going to the salon to get your hair colored isn't so simple anymore. It's like trying to order just coffee from Starbucks. There are so many options to choose from. There's all over color, highlights, lowlights, ombre, reverse ombre and now there's balayage. You may have heard of most of these options, but what is the difference between ombre and balayage? See below for to help you choose when you go to the salon.
Ombre
Ombre is a type of coloring you may have seen over the last several years. Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Rachel Bilson, and Rihanna have all worn this look. It is a very contrasting look that usually starts with your usual hair color, or possibly a shade lighter, then transitions to lighter and lighter shades all the way down to the ends. So you can start with darker brown hair at the crown, which will match your eyebrows and match your skin, then the color can lighten to as much as a very light blonde on the ends. Those that are already blonde may choose to go to a platinum or white blonde on the ends, or may even go with a reverse ombre. With reverse ombre, the ends will become darker as opposed to lighter. This look is very dramatic and usually not subtle at all.
Balayage
Balayage is a French coloring technique that has been around for some time, but is beginning to make a comeback. Celebrities such as Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel have been seen wearing this look. It's similar to ombre coloring, but a little more subtle and natural looking. It helps to highlight your own natural hair color and gives your hair more of a sun-kissed glow. Balayage coloring is applied in a sweeping technique to just the surface of your hair. Hair color looks more natural if it is applied lightly and only to the surface (such as where the sun light hits your hair), as opposed to saturating your hair. Have your stylist choose a color to suit your skin and to help highlight your features. The end result should look very natural.
Both of these types of hair coloring will grow out well, as most of the color is away from the roots. Be sure to talk to your stylist about how to care for your new color no matter which type of coloring technique you choose.
For hair coloring, contact a salon such as Town and Country Salon.
