Claudia winkleman's hair

So obviously I don't look anything like Claudia W but my hair is not a million miles off.

Notice that she's now sporting the blonde ends thing that seems to be very popular and probably quite low maintenance. What do I ask for?

A balayage I think. But definitely take a picture and find a decent hairdresser that can blend it so it isn’t too blocky.

JeSuisPrest · 29/09/2018 19:06

Hello are calling it ombre, but I think balayage is similar in the graduating look of the colour transition. I prefer how it looks tonight to the picture in article

She has ruined it, i love her hair always looks so shiny and healthy
I used to have hair like that when i was young,
Bleach dries it up,

longwayoff · 29/09/2018 20:23

Surely is a wig?

Aspenfrost · 29/09/2018 20:42

I had heard it was a wig, too. Certainly looks like one.

visitorthedog · 29/09/2018 22:19

I don’t think it’s a wig, I’ve seen a hairdresser post somewhere, I’ll look.

visitorthedog · 29/09/2018 22:21

Here, Sally Northwood did it, I think. It’s not my thing either, but 🤷‍♀️

It did look too good to be true ,but i thought it was her own ,it always looked lovely

LongDiscoClara · 29/09/2018 22:25

I don't think it is a wig. She was on Emma Guns podcast this week and there was a big section about her hair. She uses head and shoulders.

SuperstarDJ · 30/09/2018 00:33

I much preferred it before she dyed the ends. Plus I think ombré/balayage can look a bit dated now.

longwayoff · 30/09/2018 08:06

I've wondered if she wears a black wig and trowels on the slap so that when she's not working she can look like herself and be left alone. She's a pale person, blue eyes, fair skin. She would be unrecognisable without the obvious hair and eyes. Good luck to her either way.

FellSwoop · 30/09/2018 08:30

I love it...I think she looks great.

Sarcelle · 30/09/2018 08:36

She is paid by Head and Shoulders. She brought out a short lived range of beauty products for M&S a few years ago which included a conditioner because she was known for her shiny hair. She said she used that as well when they were using her name/contracted to them. Pinch of salt about celebrity endorsements (although I use my DH H and S occasionally and I like it so it is a good product).

ElfrideSwancourt · 30/09/2018 08:54

I think it's lovely- am a big Claudia fan :)

longwayoff · 30/09/2018 08:58

She's also paid by tv but I recall her quoted as 'wouldnt have one in the house'.

Frazzled2207 · 30/09/2018 10:53

Thanks everyone, it would appear that others don't like it that much so perhaps I'll think again... I'm pretty sure it's not a wig but it would be a good ruse if it was because surely she can't go anywhere without being recognised with that hair.

I don't have that fringe though, that's what makes her so distinctive. She must have to trim it every week if she wants to see what she's doing.

I much preferred her old colour!

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 30/09/2018 11:08

If you have her original colour hair, then keep it. I am growing out my balayageand I am pleasantly surprised how shiny and healthy my natural colour looks in comparison

AuntyJackiesBrothersSistersBoy · 30/09/2018 14:54

It looks as though her blond bits have gone quite straw like. I’d be careful.

Mercurial123 · 30/09/2018 16:05

It looks a bit early 2000s and the peroxide had wrecked her hair it's like straw.

Helpmepleasenow48 · 30/09/2018 17:08

Oh no! Her ends look fried. Doesn’t she dye her hair darker (thought she was naturally more a mid than dark brown). Her hairdresser has ruined her hair!

batshite1 · 30/09/2018 18:14

It’s ombré but done in a balayage way. Balayage is just a form of highlighting, done by hand as opposed to foils.

Cockatu · 19/10/2018 03:31

When I first encountered Claudia Winkleman she was joint presenter on a long forgotten Quiz show called Talking Telephone Numbers with Phillip Schofield. The first thing I noticed about her was her hair because it was certainly not sleek and glossy then. It was halfway down her back and was stringy rat-tails all the way down.

HellenaHandbasket · 19/10/2018 09:58

I love her. Not a massive fan of the new hair, but still cool.

LongDiscoClara · 21/10/2018 19:43

It doesn't look like rats tails to me.
God, schophe was a bit of a babe in his day.
