Coco Chanel once gave great advice on editing a wardrobe: "Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory. I do look at myself in the mirror before leaving the house. The difference is, if needed, I add a pop of color to my outfit. I was curious as to why I couldn't align with Chanel's quote.

Samantha and Steven both look pretty flawless with their extensive ink, perfectly coiffed 'dos including purple curls! And then I saw their reception space: candelabras, a spooky candy buffet, purple lighting, and fog. I was a goner. Without a doubt the ombre trend has officially hit mainstream.

One of the things we love most about a changing year, or even season, is seeing what trends are popping up in beauty — especially when it comes to hair. A simple snip of the shears or a perfectly-hued dye can totally revolutionize your look. And you can opt for a subtle change or a drastic one.
