Our locks massively affect our over all look and we can make a radical change to our appearance almost instantly. What do most girls do at the end of a relationship? I think a change in hair style of colour tends to be up there as one of the most common ways to make us feel more confident and reinvent ourselves. Indeed, 73% of mean say that changing their hair colour is the most noticeable thing a woman can do to look their best.
My gorgeous friend Helen was up for a change in her look, so last week I took her to meet Clairol's colour advisor for nice'n easy Jonathan Long for a colour consultation to advise her on what shades would suit her.
Jonathan says "Great hair gives women a huge confidence boost and is one of the biggest reasons I love hairdressing so much. It cn make all the differen not only to how women look but also how they feel".
Over some yummy cocktails at The Charlotte Street Hotel we debated going lighter and darker. Jennifer Aniston is Helen's hair crush and Jonathan talked her through how she could achieve a beachy look by using nice'n easy Arctic Blonde on chunks of hair in the lower layers of her tresses and teaming with a warmer shade over the rest of her locks.
As Helen has the most stunning dark brown eyes I suggested that a dark super glossy shade was look amazing against her tanned skin. Jenny wanted to go one step further and tempt her with high fashion black, but Helen wasn't sold. However, they compromised with a cool dark brown which will work with her hair's natural warmth and tones.
As Clairol's Nice n easy colours are effortless to apply, Helen will be giving it ago at home and I'll keep you posted on her thoughts, and some 'after' photos, of course!
