In: Face-framing highlights Out: Ombr�

Celebs like Drew Barrymore and Jessica Biel covered up their two-toned hair in 2011 in favor of monochrome hues, but thousands of regular women still headed to the salon to "get ombr�-d." While the trend isn't showing any signs of slowing down, stylists think the look will evolve. "You're going to see a lot of people with blended color -- a mix of ombr� ends and bright highlights around the face," says celebrity stylist Sarah Potempa. "It's a fresh way to transition into spring." The roots and the crown of the head will be darker (a plus for anyone who loves the low-maintenance aspect of ombr�), but the highlights around the face will make the color transition seem more gradual.

Like the framing of the face highlights. I like the rich hair colors.

I'm definitely into the deep conditioning.

I want to try the faux bob and one night highlights but I still like my bangs so will not be going wispy yet (maybe when I am ready to grow them out). Also maybe this article is old (seeing how it is almost November) but a lot of these styles have been out a while.

I didn't recognize Michelle Williams. She looks so much better with some hair. That short hair cut she has been wearing was soooo ugly. Great improement!
