Observation

Ombre hair became popular when a few noted celebrities made it ok to have highlights look as if they'd grown out.  They also came about at the same time that our country started struggling financially.  Letting your hair "go" became fashionable, and economical.  
The more current look now is a touch of ombre, much more subtle and keeping the hairline lighter.  This requires more maintenance than ombre but as we learned from the financial crisis we are ready to invest in ourselves again.  It may not be at the same level as before, but I believe it's a gorgeous look!
