Blonde ambition

Being a blonde gives you power beyond belief and makes the world concentrate all its attention on you and your gorgeousness. Your blonde hair becomes a focal point and subject of many conversations. You turn into a Goddess of light, the beautiful fragile creature every man would love to hold and protect and an envy of many women who secretly want to be you (or at least have your hair). This is the fabulous side of reality that, however, always comes with a “but”…

As we all remember, with great power comes great responsibility and this is exactly the “but” part that we need to discuss. Once you choose to go blonde you have to find a perfect way not only achieve the colour of your dreams, but also maintain it accordingly.

The thing about hair dying is that there are quite a few things that may go wrong and I am sure many of us can vividly recall the traumatic experiences of going green, orange or patchy or ending up with haystack on your head.

If your goal is to have hair that resembles silk and looks blonde, not brassy, Garnier Nutrisse is the perfect choice. Of course, there are stylists and hair salons, but even glossy magazines now admit that not every woman would need to book a visit to achieve a hair of her dreams and could certainly DIY whenever she needs a touch up.

These days the formulas are so advanced that the product can be used by any woman who wants to add radiance and shine to her natural colour, change it to something different or cover greys. Until I chose to go with what nature intended for me, I always went for Nutrisse because I could easily find a shade I wanted (and there are so many gorgeous ones!), use it at home and apply with ease. It never run all over the place, provided some essential oils for extra nourishment and never ever went patchy. The only rules anyone would need to follow are: do a 48-hour patch test, never use the product straight after a perm or on top of henna (trust me, you are likely to go green if you do!), never try to change your original colour dramatically and stick within the 2-shade difference range, remember to use conditioner and… be prepared to turn heads and accept compliments when you emerge looking oh-so-beautifully-blonde!
