When the Ombre hair trend emerged last season, it was all about beach-worthy high-contrast dark roots and bleached-out ends. This season, the Ombre gets toned down and more sophisticated -- think Leighton Meester's sleek, subtle two-toned locks. And we heart this more understated take on the Ombre trend.

Get her look: For a subtle graduation of color, ask your colorist to keep the roots and the ends within the same color family, with more highlights around the bottom sections. To style, blow-dry hair straight with a paddle brush then use a flat-iron and some glossing serum for a sleek finish.
