Now you can see what you’d look like with ANY shade of hair color with this incredible online (and user friendly) program from Clairol!

I’m 50% Portuguese, but you probably wouldn’t guess that by looking at me. I am fair-skinned with blue eyes and blonde hair. Okay, the blonde thing is something I’ve had help with over the years, but I was born a blonde.

I always wondered what I’d look like with darker hair, but never had the guts to stray from my tried-and-true color until last year. I only went a little darker, though. I think I could still technically call myself a blonde even at my “darkest”.

So I loved using Clairol’s Try It On Studio to find my Hair Color Altar-Ego!

Clairol’s Try It On Studio

The Try It On Studio is a virtual makeover tool that allows you to “try on” different hair colors and styles, and find out which Clairol product is best for you, simply by uploading a picture of yourself to the site!

It was super easy and fun. I used two different photos of me: one with my hair down to just try out different colors, and one with my hair in a ponytail so I could try different colors and hairstyles.

Once I uploaded the pictures, I just answered a few questions so Clairol could see what I was looking for in a hair color, sort through over 100 Clairol shades, and then match me to my hair color alter ego.

How cool is this Clairol’s Try It On Studio?

Here’s my original picture:

And then with a little preparation…

I was able to see what various hair color shades looked like on me:

Totally fun, right!? I was surprised that I actually kind of liked the red!

I also had the chance to chat with Clairol Color Director Marie Robinson.

See What You Look Like With a Different Hair Colo

She did say that it’s probably not best to go with a drastic hair color change when you’re going to have a big event, like a wedding – a point with which I totally agree!

She said that given my light skin tone, I’m good candidate for cooler hair tones. But if but if I were to want to experiment a little, I could try something from the golden blonde or light brown family.

A good tip she suggested is to not go more than two shades darker than your current color. You can always go darker later if you want. The more subtle the change, the easier it is to go back to your original color. And the great thing about the Try It On Studio is that you can see what various shades look like before you take the leap.
