Having colored my hair dozens of times as a teenager, I'm no stranger to unusual hues. Pink, red, purple, black, green (OK, that last one was a mistake) — I've worn it all. That was then. This is now: virgin, natural brown hair that hasn't been colored in years. And as it turns out, upon close inspection, the "natural blond highlights" I'd thought were peeking through were actually gray. I wanted to dye.
Enter Marie Robinson, one of the top colorists in the country. She has a popular salon in Manhattan, she's done the color for stars like Anne Hathaway and Rachel McAdams, and she's also the color director for Clairol. So who better to turn to for help?

What's so cool about celebrity colorist Marie Robinson is the fact that even though she runs an upscale establishment, Marie Robinson Salon in New York, and works with clients like Sarah Jessica Parker and Rachel McAdams, she's still down with talking about DIY box color. I call that instant cred. I recently chatted with Marie, Clairol's color director, about how we can get the best results while playing home colorists ourselves. So get armed with her list of at-home hair coloring essentials and find out more when you keep reading.
When you want to save money on hair color, there are plenty of good, easy drugstore options. But the hair color aisle can be confusing, and not all box dye is created equal. I've been coloring my own hair since I was in seventh grade, and in that time I've learned a little bit about which products really do what they say. So to see my favorites for changing your hue at home, just keep reading.
Imagine hurrying through the subway when, suddenly, a disembodied voice comes out of a huge mirror in the middle of the concourse and starts asking you whether you need to touch up your roots. In New York's Grand Central Station this week, some women actually had this experience when Clairol set up a giant talking mirror to promote its Root Touch Up product.
The installation used actress Angela Kinsey (who plays Angela on The Office) to spot people, as WWD reports, who looked like easy targets. At that point, Angela called out to ask people to look at their reflection. Then, the "mirror" directed women to colorist Marie Robinson, who gave them a color consultation and a box of Nice 'N Easy. Would you have stopped for this mirror?
The Internet was in a tizzy yesterday after Kristen Stewart debuted a new hair color, a gorgeous coppery shade that the majority of you were loving. Want to get the look? Stewart's main stylist, Adir Abergel, worked with Clairol Celebrity Stylist Marie Robinson to create the new color. To recreate the '50s-inspired hue at home, they recommend Fekkai Salon Color in 6R Copper-Lucy ($30). If you don't think box color can do the trick, look at these before and after photos — you might change your mind.
Visible roots have been trendy on and off for a few years now, but if you're not a fan, Clairol just introduced a digital touch-up tool that lets you "fix" pics of yourself with the offending exposed hairs. The tool, which basically overlays your roots with a color more similar to the rest of your hair, was released to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the brand's popular Root Touch Up hair color, and also offers color selection advice. I'll admit that scrubbing the touch-up tool over the model's head was pretty fun, though I don't know how great results will be if your picture has nonstandard lighting or is lighter/darker than the tool can read. If you need to look freshly dyed for your Facebook friends, though, this is a pretty fun and easy option.
