Aside from the morning-after-the-NTAs circa 2016 (LOL), it's fair to say Holly Willoughby always looks immaculate. Does she even have bad hair days, wake up late or spot spinach in her teeth after a big work meeting? Well, turns out the ex-This Morning co-host is a lot more down to earth than we gave her credit for as reveals she uses hair dye at home to touch up her roots.
No fancy-schmancy hair foils for Mrs Holly Willoughby. Whether you're looking to go blonde, red or perhaps a silver hair dye moment, you can do it all at home, and pretty quickly at that.
In a video titled ‘How I colour my hair,’ the mum-of-three wrote, “Tomorrow morning on @thismorning I know I will get an awful lot of questions asking how come I’ve managed to get my hair colour done whilst we are in lockdown (roots were getting out of control!).”
We are all ears.
In the seven-minute clip, Holly begins from her bathroom, “Hi, so this is weird. Here we are in lockdown and you might be the same as me, looking in the mirror and going 'Oh my goodness look' at this big dark stripe that’s coming down the top of my head.”
She continued, “As my kids keep telling me: ‘mummy you’re turning brunette again.’”
The mum-of-three swears by Garnier Nutrisse Hair Dye in the shade Natural Baby Blonde, which she is also the face and ambassador of.
Best at-home blonde hair dye
AmazonHolly then adds that she colours her hair 'all the time' and that she does it at home as it saves time sitting in the salon with the Garnier Nutrisse Blonde Hair Dye in Natural Baby Blonde.
“It’s so quick and easy and it doesn’t damage my hair. My hair has been in better condition since doing this as I’m not layering up tonnes and tonnes of highlights," Holly told her fans.
Pros
- Recommended and used by Holly Willoughby as an at-home dye
- Good even coverage with natural highlights
- Hair left soft
Cons
- Fades after around three weeks, need to re-touch
She ensures her blonde bob stays healthy by only dying the roots. “I’m not going to do all-over colour because I don’t like layering up the colour all the time."
The star, telling her fans she has a few greys at the back, explains, “This is my way of doing it, just to stress. This is how I do it and it works for me. My hair hasn’t fallen out yet.”
As Holly applies the dye to her roots she adds, “This is all a bit slapdash. I can almost hear you all screaming.”
Ending the video Holly shows off the finished look, “Done, finished, no roots, no disasters, no greys,” and the star can be seen sporting a stunning look with shiny blonde hair on show. Finished with the best hair straightener, she looks red-carpet-ready.
