Think it would look better either less brassy or just going darker

We are just critising a female for the sake of it.

I have beef with her, she is encouraging other women to not value the real person they are, she is encouraging women to waste time, energy, anxiety and money on hair dye.

Holly has ruined herself in the process of selling herself her hair and is taking other women with her all for ££££££££.

Nicknacky · 01/12/2018 23:50

forget I live in a bizarre world for expecting women NOT to be critised for their hair colour? Seriously?

istanbul Wow. When did she encourage women not to value the real person they are?

Abeautifulpeagreenboat · 01/12/2018 23:52

I think she's doing a really good presenting job.

Interested in this thread?

Holly is advertising a product that changes who you are by changing the hair colour you have with the hair dye. Holly is promoting the notion that woman in their natural form aren't good enough by promoting the hair dye products.

Nicknacky · 01/12/2018 23:56

She advertises hair dye. As do many others.

She doesn’t tell you not to be “the real you”.

I dye my hair. Wear makeup. Wear deodorant. Fuck, even get Botox! But I’m still the real me.

i will have to agree to disagree, that is your opinion, I don't share it.

Nicknacky · 02/12/2018 00:01

When does she say not to be you?

NorthernKnickers · 02/12/2018 00:04

Wow @IstanbulConstan...you have a few issues there!!! 🙄😮

PattiStanger · 02/12/2018 00:04

Why shouldn't women change the colour of their hair If it makes them feel more confident or better about themselves, it doesn't harm anyone else?

Environmental impact harms others.

yumyumpoppycat · 02/12/2018 00:10

Exactly Hedda.

Nicknacky · 02/12/2018 00:16

“Environmental impact” 😂😂😂

llangennith · 02/12/2018 00:24

I like Holly but she's out of her depth on I'm a Celeb. Maybe because it's scripted and she's the straight guy to Dec's 'funny man'.
The hair: hmmm. Is it naturally curly and would frizz unless coated with grease? Certainly doesn't look like a professional hairdresser has been near it.

BigStripeyBastard · 02/12/2018 00:25

I don't watch it.
But if I did, I'd probably prefer to watch a woman with slightly the wrong shade hair than an adulterous, drink driving excuse for a human being like McPartlin.

LardLizard · 02/12/2018 00:27

Oh her presenting skills on I’m a sleb, are awful wooden, dull and the worse when it’s a trial and contestants are screaming she’s going really silly and saying breathe breathe
She’s not there as a counsellor ffs

She’s ok in this morning as she suits the format
Scoffields simmering giggling younger sidekick

And if you advertise yourself n hair
You have toexoect the public to have an opinion if you put yourself there in that way surely

IwantedtobeEmmaPeel · 02/12/2018 00:28

Holly seems a nice enough person, as in she doesn't seem mean or unpleasant, but as a presenter she is vacuous, insipid, has no banter, is slow-witted & dull. I can't be bothered to watch I'm a celebrity this year because she is so fucking vapid.

WinterfellWench · 02/12/2018 00:31

@HeddaGarbled

Is it any wonder that so many women suffer from low self-esteem and poor mental health when a stunning-looking 37 year old woman gets this sort of nit-picky criticism. A little bit of her hair apparently isn’t perfect (for you). How dare she be imperfect in public, the uppity bitch!

LOL this in spades ^

So many bitter, spiteful, toxic posts on this thread.

Couldn't be more obvious they are jealous.

Holly has the life and career they wish they had. And also looks like they want to look.

UbiquitousDust · 02/12/2018 00:34

I think choice and feeling like you need to because of others is different.

I've dyed my hair since I went grey at 20 because society told me grey = old and past it. At 40, I grew my colour out because I got fed up with being made to feel bad for being grey (the real me). If I was grey, I wasn't good enough.

When I stopped dying my hair, I felt less pressure, had more money, more time, less stress, better condition hair, was teaching my daughter that all hair colour is beautiful etc. And yes, less environmental impact. I was dying my hair because I felt I had to survive within strict societal expectations.

I kept my grey hair for 2 years. Then I decided that I missed changing my hair colour. So I started dying it again but this time, I was actually choosing to dye it. Sod society, I wanted my hair this colour.

@IstanbulConstan has a point about not showing the real you and making others feel inadequate for not making "desirable" changes however, we don't know if HW changes her hair colour because she needs to (like me before) or if it genuingely makes her feel happier (like me now).

Visible women do impact on others- why else would a hair dye company pay her to dye her hair a certain colour? She is encouraging women to change themselves.

Miranda15110 · 02/12/2018 00:34

Seriously I'd be fine looking like her. She's sometimes annoying but often quite funny. Some strange outfits but she'd look good in anything Smile

UbiquitousDust · 02/12/2018 00:36

Whoops - took so long to type that, that the conversation has moved on! 😂

Myselfonashelf · 02/12/2018 00:50

bunintheoven88 I didn't say I'd heard it. I said I had read it.

It something that popped up in my news feed on my phone. Not something I gave any head space too really. I only recalled it when I saw this thread. Not sure of the actual source of what I read but here is a similar article from around the same time.

Pretty sure you can like make up, dye your hair and take an interest in clothes as well as being an intelligent, switched on person. Taking care of your appearence doesn't cancel everything else out.

I think picking up on something teeny tiny about a woman's appearance, calling it a flaw and getting others to join in is more damaging to women's self esteem than a tv presenter flogging hair dye. Loads of people will read this and think Jesus if even HW can't get it right then what hope for us?

I don't even like her (work) much and don't watch IACGMOOH but had a peek at her insta and can't see wtf you mean anyway. She has warm blonde hair and seems to like it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cuzcothellama · 02/12/2018 01:17

OMG just googled her after not seeing her "properly" for a couple of years. She's practically unrecognisable. What has she done to herself? Yes she's lost weight, but her face is different and her hair is very brassy like you say OP.

I loved her, she was like a normal stunning girl and now she's a plastic surgery / botox clone. I'm sad.

WereYouHareWhenIWasFox · 02/12/2018 01:27

This post was about her hair. If anyone wants to start one about her presenting/charity work/whatever, go ahead. But why can’t we talk about hair on a thread about hair?

Birk · 02/12/2018 07:08

Have you thought it could possibly be the heat and humidity???
