Small changes, be it physical or psychological are always a traditional, yet fantastic way to kick off a new year, and for 2017, I am actively doing both. From increasing physical exercise to more “me” time and mindfulness practices, I feel that I’m getting to a better place already, so why not bring my hair along with me? Courtesy of Clairol, I spent some time with the talented James Corbett, the brand’s Color Director, who envisioned a brighter hair future for me, and naturally, always up for a bit of a change, I agreed with the exciting new direction.
Using the Natural Instincts in Spiced Tea, James instantly brought a deeper, brighter, warmer tone to my tresses, which after this initial coloring session, I can easily maintain on my own. If you’d like to do the same, try the augmented reality hair color MyShade application, a first-of-its-kind app in which users can scan any permanent at-home hair color item to virtually try it on their own tresses and match it to the closet Clairol shade. It’s an easy, custom way to get a great match without spending salon prices. Download the app for iOS here or Google Play here.
What do you think of my new red ‘do?

[My new #ShiftaShade Clairol hair color, thanks to James Corbett]
It’s amazing how quickly times goes by…since this is the third summer that I’ve had red hair! As red tends to fade, and I’ve gone to a few different colorists over the past few years, it hasn’t been exactly the same hue…but close enough to not raise any eyebrows! For the summer of 2015, however, my hue is decidedly going in a different direction — lighter, more copper, and with a definite touch of blonde in the mix. Thanks to the incredibly talented
James Corbett of
James Corbett Studio and the
Clairol Color Director, I gracefully made a motion to
#ShiftaShade with
Clairol’s nice’n easy Sun Kissed Collection in 8SC Sandy Copper Blonde.

Corbett immediately put me at ease by admitting that he loves doing red hair (phew!), and I knew right away to trust his instincts with making my hair a bit lighter, yet still noticeably red for the summer. The best part about it is that I am just slightly moving within the scale of my hair color, so the results won’t be extreme, but beautiful nonetheless, and since James Corbett works with colors that can easily be purchased, I can’t use the excuse of “I have to make a salon appointment” when my roots begin to show, because I can do it myself, at home!
What do you think of my new color; can you see the #ShiftaShade difference? For reference, see below for a “redrospective” of my hair over the past three summers.
