Yes, as some of you eagle eyed beans noticed from this post... I gots me some new hair! And the look was done with, wait for it, Nice 'n Easy. Magical, isn't it? Last week I headed down to London for the day to get my hair done by Michael Douglas. Once I realised that it wasn't actually Catherine Zita Jones' husband (sorry, Michael's probably heard that joke 568 times and found it less and less funny every time) I got settled in to hear what the day had in store for me and my barnet.
So, Clairol's whole focus right now is on #GoingNude and, after a minor misunderstanding, I re-buttoned my dress and learned what it really meant. Basically it's the very subtle, natural hair look that is chic (le freak) but also low-maintenance. In other words, it's my dream 'do. I'm going to pop in a quote from Michael himself because he knows his stuff and describes it much better than I ever could:

There we go, much more concise than I could ever have been. So, the idea is that Nice'n Easy's new Colour Enhancer will help you create this nude look with minimal effort by enhancing the natural colour of your hair by juuuust a few shades. There are lots of looks that you can achieve, but we decided to go for a balayage look that would make Alexa Chung proud with a mid brown colour fading into a blonde - shade 77 on my roots, 73 on my ends, if you want to get technical - and I'm so so happy with how it turned out. Because it's semi-permanent, it's a really healthy way to add colour to your hair (which is good because mine is still reeling from being blue last year), it lasts up to 8 washes and leaves your hair with the loveliest shine. 'But what will you do when those 8 washes are up, Amy?' I hear you ask. I'm going to give it a go myself at home, that's what. I may say it with confidence but I haven't done that since my uni days and, I must admit, I'm mildly nervous.. luckily you guys will get to see how it goes it my next post, so keep your eyes peeled for that. It's been such a great campaign and one that I'm really proud to be a part of... LET'S ALL GO NUDE TOGETHER.
