Holly Willoughby sets the record straight about her hair - does she really use store-bought hair-dye

Publish date: 2024-05-17

People doubted the ITV star…

If you're wondering how Holly Willoughby's hair looks so perfect on lockdown, wonder no more! The popular TV personality has taken to Instagram to tell her followers the truth about her hair colour. The This Morning star recently posted a video to share a step-by-step guide to dyeing her roots, all from the comfort of her own bathroom. Alongside the clip, she wrote: "Tomorrow morning on This Morning 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!)... I thought it’s a good opportunity to answer that question and a few others... Do I really use Garnier to tint my own hair and if so how do I do it?... Hope this helps if you are considering home hair colour for the first time ... Always do a patch test and follow the instructions…"

In the video, the blonde beauty revealed that she has always dyed her hair at home; while she does get her highlights done "once in a blue moon", "nine times out of ten, this is the tint I do," she revealed. And the good news is that her go-to dye is completely affordable. Holly uses Garnier Nutrisse – 10.01, called Baby Blonde, which retails for as little as £5.79.

It's not the first time she has taken to Instagram to set the record straight. Last summer, wearing a cute yellow J.Crew T-shirt, the TV star shared with her fans that she REALLY does use the £5.79 hair-dye from the shops, rather than a salon colourist.

Talking directly to the camera, Holly said: "So, probably my most asked question on social media is, do I actually dye my own hair using Garnier Nutrisse Blonde? And the answer is YES.

"I mean, I can't believe it comes as that much of a surprise to people. Although saying that, I can, in a way, because when I first started using it, and Garnier approached me to be their brand ambassador, I thought 'I'd love to, I use loads of your other products but I'm not sure you're going to get me to the right blonde. I'm not sure you can get me MY blonde - the Holly Blonde.

"And it did and I was completely surprised. So the answer to that is yes I do and you should try it because it leaves your hair really soft and shiny, and the blonde that you wanna be."

Sticking to Instagram's strict rules, Holly declared the video as a paid advertisement with Garnier, but regardless, followers appreciated her taking the time to explain, and being honest.

One impressed fan wrote: "Nice to see someone that actually uses the product that they promote."

Holly captioned the video telling people her particular shade of Garnier Nutrisse - 10.01, in case you care. This is called 'Baby Blonde' and lasts for up to eight weeks.
