I’m in love with Clairol’s Root Touch Up!

I’m in between colorings right now, and my roots were in desperate need of help. I’m starting to find gray hairs – so I try to stay on top of coloring my hair. Thing is – constantly dying my hair is making it brittle and dry! So I try to space out the coloring, but when I do that – my roots really show!

I went to Safeway yesterday, and picked up Clairol’s Root Touch-Up for only $6.99! I was VERY skeptical, because A) I’ve always used the same brand of hair dye, so switching it up makes me nervous and B) it comes with this little teenie bottle of hair dye (which didn’t look like enough!).  BUT I was pursuaded by its promise to match my hair dye – GUARANTEED!

I grabbed the Dark Brown box – and went home.

I read the instructions – how can it be this easy? Apply to roots with the color using a handy little brush – and leave on for 10 minutes. That’s it!

I applied the hair dye directly to the roots of the hair that frames my face, and came back downstairs to work for a 10 minutes. After about 10 minutes, I showered the dye off – and amazingly, this product delivered exactly what it promised! Check out the picture below! The roots match my hair color perfectly! The grays are gone, and my hair looks like I’ve just dyed it!

I love this product, and I’m happy I found it. It’s going to save me from dying all my hair constantly!

You can find this product at any drug store – heck, any grocery store probably carries it. Give it a try!

Check out a teaser for Keira Knightley’s new Chanel commercial!

Keira Knightley gets ready to promote Chanel in the video teaser for the Coco Mademoiselle fragrance.

Dressed in a nude catsuit and helmet, the 25-year-old actress climbs onto a Ducati in the fragrance’s latest ad.

Knightley teamed up with her ‘Pride & Prejudice’ director, Joe Wright, last September for the short film that will debut March 21.

“Nobody said exactly what it was going to be like,” she says in a voice-over in the video teaser. “I knew that it was something about a motorbike, and I knew that it was going to be beige. They said, ‘Sort of catsuit,’ and I said, ‘OK.’ It was completely unexpected. It’s a Chanel superwoman, I think.”
