Clairol Unveils It's So Me 2024: A Celebration of Self-Expression through Innovative Hair Color
The latest campaign update, along with new products and influencer partnerships, continues the brand’s celebration of its community of empowered DIY beauty lovers.
Clairol, renowned for being the go-to brand for surprisingly easy at-home hair color, continues to redefine beauty boundaries. Building on the success of the It's So Me platform first unveiled in 2023, Clairol is set to embark on a new phase in 2024, championing the joy of hair color and its ability to unleash the authentic individual. The campaign update features new product launches and influencer activities aimed at empowering at-home colorists.
The It's So Me campaign showcases the authenticity, creativity, and joy that Clairol's products bring to users, celebrating the art of at-home hair coloring. Exciting new products, aimed at delivering amazing color results for diverse hair types, include:
Bold & Bright
Make way for unstoppable color intensity and ultra moisturized shiny hair with show-stopping bright shades in the new Clairol Bold & Bright collection. This collection of 12 vibrant shades contains Clairol’s unique TrueColorSeal™ technology, which helps lock color in and ensures it stays vibrant for longer. Included is HydraShine Conditioner which leaves hair gorgeously glossy and moisturized. The Bold & Bright collection also comes with a Color Boost Glaze in each kit, to give an added color boost when needed.
Textures & Tones
Did you know there is a permanent color range specifically for curly, coily hair types? Say hello to the improved formula and new look of Clairol Textures & Tones. Comprising 12 shades of brilliant intense color, the zero-ammonia formula has been pumped with argan and olive oil to deliver much-needed moisture and vibrancy that lasts. Designed together with textured hair experts and color specialists, the combination of a moisture-rich formula and intensive moisturizing mask leaves hair shiny, glossy, and feeling soft to the touch.
Pure Brunettes
Nice’n Easy permanent hair color has gained a reputation as being the go-to at home color brand and the new Nice’n Easy Pure Brunettes collection will make this offering even stronger. Six new permanent brunette shades, all with an innovative Detox+Pure Tone system, contribute to a long-lasting pure and vibrant color. The Detox+Pure Tone system starts with a pre-color cleanser that purifies the hair from metal. Next, the professional dye complex and intensive treatment protects the hair from impurities that can get in the way of pure color results, and a final conditioning treatment, enriched with antioxidants, creates a shield to preserve lustrous brunette tones.
Clairol Total Root Touch-Up
At-home hair coloring has been elevated to a whole new level thanks to the new Total Root Touch-Up. This is the perfect solution to extend the life of salon color from root to tip. A collection of 8 new shades that has been inspired by some of the world’s most attractive destinations, brings to life the colors and imagery of each place. Such as Tuscany Medium Brown – reminiscent of early autumn in the Italian countryside, or Malibu Medium Blonde, like the warm sunshine of southern California.
Total Root Touch-Up is a permanent color range that offers 100% grey coverage. It has an ammonia-free & vegan formula that’s super easy for even the most novice home colorist to create amazing results at home. Not only does each pack contain everything needed to color the hair, but there’s also a nourishing color mask to instantly boost vibrancy from root to tip.
