When I opened my electronic mail yesterday, there was a message from Thomas titled “SOS”.
Immediately, I click it open, and there is a website link to the Everyday Mail, plus a couple of decision words: “Red alert, emergency, this is not a drill… Christina Hendricks has gone BLONDE. I repeat—BLONDE. This is not a drill!! RIP to 1 of the greatest hair colour/skin tone combinations of all time.”
You see? He IS hyper hair colour-conscious.
Here’;s Christina Hendricks prior to, at the Zac Posen display final month:

And here is her brand new blonde hair colour, debuted on set for her most current Clairol Nice ‘n Simple ad:

Christina’;s been dyeing her hair red for much more than 20 years, so this is key!
And the alter was not just for Clairol (for whom Christina is a spokesperson). With ‘Mad Men’; ending, “I was associating that red colour with Joan, even even though I had been that colour way prior to… they started to signify each and every other,” the actress advised Refinery 29. Going blonde—albeit strawberry blonde—represented “a fresh start off.”
It’;s also a savvy job move. Even although I loved Christina as a redhead, the vibrant copper wasn’;t the most all-natural-looking (as per Tony Chaar’;s hair colour-skin tone suggestions). Now she can perform a wider assortment of roles with no getting stereotyped as “that actress from ‘Mad Men’;.”
Plus, I’;m questioning if twenty+ years of red hair dye wasn’;t awfully hard on the issue of her hair, which is naturally blonde and closer to this new hue. We presently know she’;s acquired an tremendous wig assortment, so perhaps with the blonde, she will not have to depend on them so much? In addition, if she has any greys, the blonde will make it a lot simpler to camouflage them.
I know Thomas does not agree, but I in fact like the new colour much better. Certain, it is not as “targeted traffic-stopping,” but it’;s a bit kinder and softer on Christina’;s complexion. I think the red would’;ve been tougher to maintain as she aged—it was this kind of a contrast towards her pale skin that even the littlest imperfections (like the heavy-handed blush in the photograph above) had been highlighted.
Here is Clairol’;s behind-the-scenes video:

And here is the new ad:

Yep, Christina’;s new shade is 8G Natural Medium Golden Blonde (before, she was 6R All-natural Light Auburn). Apparently, she dyes it herself!
