How much do we love brushed-out curls? Like I’ve been saying for at least a year now, they are the future—even though countless celebs still insist on doing those piecey flat-iron waves that have been gracing red carpets since oh, 2002. (You know the ones: they’re not terrible, but Lauren Conrad and Miley Cyrus, for example, really rely on them way too much. And they tend to go hand in hand with too-long hair extensions.

Call me vain, call me shallow, call me overly preoccupied with mascara, lipstick and vanilla-scented body lotion (have you tried Lavanila? It’s amazing). But one thing you can’t call me is timid. Because probably more than any beauty editor I know, I’ve been willing to put myself out there and experiment with all sorts of things in the name of “RESEARCH.”
The latest investigation was into Ombré hair, which we’ve been talking about quite a bit here on BeautyEditor.ca.
