Forget those stale highlights.

How It Should Look

“Make sure the pieces of hair (being ombréd) are big enough so they are bold,” says Kitty Greller, senior colorist at Ted Gibson in New York City. “If the lighter pieces are too stringy, the color might not completely blend and look dip dyed. A lighter ombre is good for summer and a more natural color is ideal for fall.”

Seek a Professional

“Don’t do an ombre at home,” says celebrity stylist Pasquale Caselle of IT&LY HAIRFASHION. “This tends to go blotchy and brassy.” Consider bringing photos of your favorite celebrity ombre so that the stylist knows exactly what you want beforehand.

Go Blonde

“It’s amazing for people who want to be blonde, but their skin tone might not necessarily support having blonde all over,” says Greller. “It’s a great way to get a taste of blonde without frying your hair or making your skin tone look strange because lighter pieces aren’t directly on your face.”

Try Other Colors

 “Ombre doesn’t have to be blonde only,” says Caselle. “You can go from brown to a beautiful caramel on the ends or deep red to a fiery copper. You just always want it to compliment the shade of your roots.”

Is Dip Dye Right For You?

Drew Barrymore opted for a more head-turning look with the “dip dye," which appears as though her hair was literally dipped in a pool of blonde hair dye. However, stylists say this dramatic approach isn’t for everyone and may be too casual for the office. “I prefer a more subtle ombre,” says Greller. To get the best ombre color, Greller advises to start with your natural color before experimenting with lighter or darker hues. “Ask your colorist how light you should go,” she says. “They will direct you in finding the best tone for you.”

(Reuters)
Turn Back Time

“This summer, I prefer golden medium blond and warmer tones, which are great for helping women look younger because they make complexions look alive and youthful,” says Beverly Hills-based celebrity stylist Nelson Chan. “I suggest going for a blonde shade with warm, golden undertones.” One color women over 40 should stay away from? Anything too blond or ash. “Going too light ages the face more because it makes a woman look pale,” says Chan.

(Reuters)
No Need to Commit

Don’t feel like committing to this look quite yet? No problem. “Add a few highlights closer to the face,” says colorist Erick Orellana from Jonathan and George Salon in Beverly Hills. “This will help lighten your features and frame the face.”

(Reuters)
Enhance Beachy Waves

New York City-based stylist Angelo David likes the ombre look for summer because he thinks golden shades on your hair are perfect for the beach. “Think beautiful brown on the roots cascading down to a light honey tone, instead of drastically going from dark to platinum blonde.”

(Reuters)
Add Shine

Make sure you invest in the right after-care products. “Depending on how drastic the color change is, you still need to keep your hair moisturized by going for a deep conditioner,” says New York City-based stylist Angelo David. “Arm yourself with a heat protectant and color-extending shampoo and condition to keep your ombre looking its best.”

(Reuters)
Stay Low Maintenance

Ombre requires maintenance, but it won’t break the bank in comparison to highlights that need frequent touch-ups. “You may need to get to get a touch-up every two months if you have a super-light ombre done on your ends,” says Caselle. To keep your hair in its best condition, Caselle recommends using a leave-in spray conditioner. “To prevent ends from looking over processed, use a heat styling protector before blowdrying or flat ironing,” he adds.

Your Lawn Gives You Cancer

Green is good, right? Well, not always. Especially when it comes to a lawns that gets their emerald greenness via heavy doses of chemicals, fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides. Those chemicals are associated with everything from breathing problems to certain types of cancers in humans (not to mention dogs and cats). A new study even found a disturbing link between lawn chemicals and Attention Deficit Disorder.

Chainsaw Massacres

No big surprise that this Texas terror tool can inflict some pretty mass destruction. In fact, each year, about 36,000 of us are rushed to the ER for chainsaw-related injuries. And doctors almost always see an uptick of injures following thunderstorms, hurricanes and other natural disasters, as chainsaws are busted out to take care of fallen trees and branches.

Rogue Bumblebees

Getting stung by a wasp or a bee is one of the most unpleasant sensations known to man. For some of us, it can even be downright deadly. About 100 Americans die each year due to allergic reactions to insect bites or stings. If you're allergic, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants, keep emergency supplies, like adrenaline, on hand, and try not to walk around with sweet beverage in hand, since bees love them as much as we do.

Your Lawnmower Shoots You in the Face

Around 80,000 of us are sent to the hospital each year by what many see as man's second best friend—the lawnmower. This usually happens after a stick or a rock ricochets off the blade of our dear old John Deere, flies through the air, then shoots us right in the eye. But other injuries are even more gruesome, including the occasional fractured (or missing) foot. Keep in mind that, according to a study conducted by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the majority of lawnmower injuries happen to children younger than 15 and adults over 60. So think twice next time Junior or Great Grandpa asks if they can help out by mowing the lawn. And take care of your own face by wearing safety goggles.

While Mowing the Lawn, You Put Your Kids in a Sandbox Filled with Cat Feces

Just as much as kids love playing in a sandbox, so too do cats love pooping them. After all, they're basically super-sized litter boxes. Just be sure to keep your sandbox covered so you can protect the kids from toxoplasmosis, a nasty little parasite often found in cat feces.
