BRUNETTE
Why It Works:"The ombré look has not only settled into something more subtle," says Unno, "but it's here to stay." She cites Gina Rodriguez's dark chocolate base as the ideal balance to the caramel tones on the ends.
__Pro Tip:__According to Unno, precisely following the directions on your at-home color box is key for getting that rich base shade. As for the highlights on Rodriguez, they can be also be achieved at home. Pick up a kit that's one or two shades lighter than your base and paint them on where you want them, concentrating from midshaft down to las puntas.
