Ecaille Hair

There’s no doubt that ombre was the hair obsession of 2014, but the hot new color trend of this year might just be ecaille—the French word for tortoiseshell, also known as the “tortoiseshell technique.” Think golden highlights paired with darker, rich caramel tones.It’s warm browns, honeys, and ambers just like a tortoiseshell comb. Blondes are more golden, with a few babylights worked into these tones to create the sublet dimension.
