Garnier Nutrisse Is Only Getting Better as it Expands Barrymore’s Role with the Brand to Include Hair Color
The Global beauty brand announced the appointment of Drew Barrymore as Brand Ambassador for Garnier Nutrisse, an expansion to her current role with the Garnier portfolio.
A self-proclaimed avid at-home hair dyer, Barrymore’s role debuts with a creative campaign highlighting Garnier Nutrisse’s new and improved Nourishing Color Crème formula for nourished hair and better color, featuring five fruit oils: avocado, olive, shea, argan, and coconut oil. The creative underscores her love for efficacious, easy-to-use products and incorporates tips she’s gained through trial-and-error including using the brand’s shade selector tool to find the best shade, opting for the lighter shade if between two shades, using two mirrors to ensure full and even coverage, as well as rinsing with cold water to avoid color fading.
“It’s no secret that I’ve been a Nutrisse user for years. I’m excited to expand my role with Garnier and share my love of the new Nutrisse Nourishing Color Crème,” says Barrymore. “I’ve been just about every hair color under the sun, and the updated formula provides a fab shade that cares while it colors and is so easy to master on your own. My favorite is shade 70 because it’s super rich and covers my grays.”
“We’re delighted to see our partnership with Drew Barrymore expand into hair color,” said Garnier’s Senior Vice President, Ali Fakih. “She is more than a spokesperson for us – she is a true advocate, with the ability to connect and relate to her audience in a way rarely seen in the celebrity world. Her affinity for hair color, and her ‘do it myself’ nature, made for the perfect choice as our Garnier Nutrisse Brand Ambassador.”
The creative will begin running on February 27, 2023, and includes TV, digital, and social media content.
Powered with Color Boost Technology, Nutrisse Ultra Crème Nourishing Permanent Color covers 100% of grays and nourishes while it colors, resulting in two times shinier, silkier hair for improved richer color.* Available in over 30 shades for every hair texture, the brand’s online shade selector includes a one-minute hair shade quiz to find and virtually try on the perfect Garnier hair color products for you, making at-home hair color easier than ever.
Garnier Nutrisse products are available at food and mass drugstores nationwide. For more information on Garnier, the new and improved Nutrisse Nourishing Color Crème formula, and Garnier’s partnership with Drew Barrymore, please visit www.garnierusa.com.

They beauty is anyone can wear a shag.

As I grew older, my skin looked dull and felt sensitive to touch, and my nightly self-care ritual was no longer a time to unwind and relax.I spent thousands of dollars on products, but most skincare for sensitive, dry skin contains harsh chemicals, fragrances, or essential oils that my skin cannot tolerate.
So, I created a regimen for my skincare woes. My Diploma in Cosmetic Chemistry and collaboration with experts in the field led to the Sensi Soul Range. FIGGI is for every Goddess like me, who needs to choose products wisely but still craves a luxurious skincare experience.

Put frizz, humidity, and reversion on ice! As “The Textured Hair Care Authority,” Mielle – the fastest growing Black-founded and women-led beauty brand – is launching its brand-new Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz System for textured hair – the first curated, step-by-step collection from Mielle specially formulated to target frizz triggered by damage, dryness, and humidity. Also introducing the brand’s proprietary Cold Application Technology™, this versatile, easy-to-follow 4-step system features products that work in conjunction with one another ($12.99 each; a system bundle will be 30% off to celebrate the launch until Feb. 13) to achieve both curly and straight frizz-free styles. For intended results, it is recommended to use the entire collection as a system since the products build upon and enhance one another.
To start, cleanse, condition and seal with the Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave-In, and then style with the Curl Perfector for curly looks or Stay Straight Serum for straight styles. To up the cool factor, the Avocado & Tamanu Leave-In, Curl Perfector, and Stay Straight Serum feature Mielle’s proprietary refrigerate-to-activate Cold Application Technology™ which naturally closes hair cuticles tightly in place to block out humidity. Borrowed from popular skin care trends, this cold science allows consumers, whether curly or straight, to say goodbye to frizz and hello to long-lasting smoothness.
For the longest time, the power of cool in hair care has been relegated to the cool rinse at the hair salon, or the cold shot button on your blow dryer – an underestimated feature that helps to smooth down the hair cuticle to create maximum shine and help your style last longer. Now, Mielle’s Avocado & Tamanu Leave-In, Curl Perfector, and Stay Straight Serum harness the power of cool in unique and innovative formulas that you refrigerate to activate.
“Finding new, innovative and effective ingredients for textured hair has always been a passion of mine,” shares Monique Rodriguez, co-founder and CEO of Mielle Organics. “We have been researching the combination of avocado and tamanu for some time now, considering their incredible benefits for beauty use. With the launch of Mielle’s brand-new Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz System, we are not only bringing them to the forefront of hair care but also fusing avocado and tamanu with our proprietary refrigerate-to-activate Cold Application Technology™. It’s the perfect marriage of science and nature.”

About Lena Chao.
Lena Chao founded Clean Circle with one question in mind: How can we champion diversity, sustainability, and culture through beauty? The beauty industry creates 7.9 billion units of packaging per year. One person generates 1,600 lbs of waste annually. Overproduction threatens our natural resources and our planet’s temperature. We are a culture-forward, skin and body care brand positioned at the intersection of tackling beauty waste and addressing the impact of climate change on our skin. I created Clean Circle to bring all of these values and principles together, into my bathroom, into my space.
The side part was never really dead, but it’s back in a big way. Side saddle and butterfly fringes are great compliments to short hybrid cuts, mid-length lobs and longer layers. It’s one the easiest ways to be on trend this season without having to do that much. But how easy is it to change a part? Top stylist Sam Villa, Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Sam Villa and Global Artistic Ambassador for Redken, explains how to train hair to switch directions.
“The middle part has been popular for so long that hair will tend to want to live there now, so you have to work to change your root direction, basically alter hair at the base, in order for it to fall to the side now,” explains Villa.
How To Change Part Direction
A comb works better than a brush because it can reach further down the hair shaft and grab hair closer to the root. The fine teeth also provide more tension for redirecting.
How long will it take to retrain hair for a solid side part? It all depends on how often hair is shampooed. Hair should stay in place if it does not get wet…and sooner or later it will fall into the new pattern automatically.
