Touch-Up Roots in Photos with Shutterfly.com.

/

Have you ever thought you looked great in a picture only to discover your roots were b-a-d? You know how to touch them up in real life, and photo editing services help you reduce your red eyes and even whiten your teeth. But those dark roots?

Well, Clairol's Nice ‘n Easy and Shutterfly created a unique tool to remove unsightly roots from photos, so those roots of the past can be banished. How exciting! This is the first tool of its kind and it was created exclusively for Shutterfly to help virtually make-over roots!

This new and exclusive tool can be found through this special Shutterfly link beginning tomorrow, June 1st.

In addition to being able to easily upload your photo and “repair your roots”, Shutterfly has created a fun “Root Blaster Game” where you need to spot the women who need root touch ups. A winner of the live contest will win a trip to the Dominican Republic!

I am so excited about this new tool and cannot wait to try it out for myself tomorrow. Remember, the tool will not be live until June 1st.

Hoping that you will join me in trying out this new tool, I have partnered with Clairol and Shutterfly to offer a great little contest. Ten winners will receive a coupon code for a free 8X8 photobook on Shutterfly. This offer is good for an 8 X 8 hard cover 20 page photo book worth $29.99. To be entered into the contest, this is what you will need to do:

That's it.

Ten winners will be randomly selected from all of the correctly submitted and uploaded entries. Contest will close at 11:59 PM EST on June 30th, 2010.

Stay tuned for some real Root Touch-Up tips from Clairol's new color director, celebrity colorist Marie Robinson.

Hair Styling Essentials from John Frieda's Root Awakening.

/

These new hair styling products from the John Frieda Root Awakening line are labeled appropriately. They are definitely hair styling essentials in my book. My most beautiful hair ever... from styling products?  Yes! A dream, right? No, these came from years of research with a number one brand.

Not only do I love the scent (refreshing, awakening eucalyptus) of these stylers, my hair is silky soft, easy to style and looking like I just stepped out of John's finest salon every time I use them. As each hair styling product is infused with hair nourishing ingredients that work from root to end, you will notice healthier looking, more resilient hair in just a few days. The John Frieda team said that users of the Root Awakening line notice this difference in seven days, I noticed the transformation in my first use. Of course, more than seven days later my hair is still looking the best it has in years.

These new Root Awakening hair styling products are a welcome addition to the Root Awakening line.

Root Awakening Strength Restoring Smoothing Lotion - This smoothing lotion works well to smooth out hair to leave it soft and easy to style with it's vitamin-enriched formula. The Eucalyptus adds to the formula making hair stronger.

Root Awakening Strength Restoring Gel - This gel is so lightweight, it feels like a serum when applying. The gel helps to aid in the overall health of the hair, as it helps to make styling easier by offering a light hold.

Root Awakening Strength Restoring Hair Spray - A surprisingly great pump hairspray (yes, a non-aerosol pump!) that mists over hair to lock in shine and hold, without weighing it down. You would think you are using aerosol as it is non-sticky and hair is left flexible - while being shiny and soft.

The entire line consists of the new styling products in addition to the Health Infusing Shampoo and Conditioner, the Nourishing Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner, the Strength Restoring Shampoo and Conditioner, as well as the Root Awakening Strength Boosting Leave-In Spray, which I am using each day as well.

For more information on the entire Root Awakening line, check out the John Frieda Root Awakening site online. Each styler is available at drugstores and mass retailers with a suggested retail price of $6.49 each.
