I've was obsessed with the idea of ombre hair when it first got popular a few years ago. I looked up tutorials and how-tos, and researched which dyes would be best for doing it at home. In the end, I was too afraid of messing up my hair, so it remained boring brown. Even now, when I come across a picture with ombre on Pinterest, I find myself wanting it all over again.
I think my main attraction to ombre (aside from the obvious: it looks cool), is that it's a way of having blonde hair without having to be blonde. I've long since accepted that I can probably never pull of blonde hair because of my skin tone, but the allure has never left. Ombre gives you blonde, but it keeps it away from your face, so you don't have to worry as much about it. And, if you wanted, you can go with a darker color to blend it well. And it's a lot less drastic than bleaching all of your hair (which I would definitely have to do, since my hair is so dark to begin with).
The last picture is my favorite, by the way. I love how the ends are a darker, so they blend better with the dark hair.
