Lakme Team Member Ashley Feht presents a warm blonde tone to contrast the cool blondes of winter.

“I have an on/off relationship with ombre, but whether I love it or hate it, I can’t deny that it has revolutionized the way we think about haircolor and its application,” Feht says. “We’re no longer restricted to defined color placement. Instead, we’re liberated to think outside the foil and embrace freeform color. As we approach summer, this dimensional amber-wheat blonde is a lovely update on an icy winter ombre. It’s done completely freeform.”
