There has been no shortage of celebrities making major hair changes at home lately. Coronavirus-prompted isolation has meant that stars not only don't have to look any particular way for roles or events but they also have more time on their hands and less access to their stylists and colorist. But while some having decided to let their grays grow in, Selma Blair is doing the exact opposite.
Ever since losing her hair during treatment for multiple sclerosis, Blair has let it has grown in gray. She wrote about it on Instagram in November 2019, "Give in. Embrace. Sure. I’ll try it. Unless...some fancy pants company with a thick checkbook wants to entice me out of dye retirement. Then I will sing about the glories of processed hair! I certainly will." But it turns out a sponsorship isn't the only thing that would get her to color her hair again — all she needed was a little help from a friend.
Instead of picking up some box color during a run for essentials, colorist Lori Goddard made a customized kit for Blair to use while staying home. "Thank you @lorrigoddard_ for the drop off mixed color kit. #brunette," she wrote in the caption showing off her newly dark-brown pixie cut. (Perhaps it was inspired by the throwback photo she posted a day earlier of when she played Kris Jenner in American Crime Story.)

What Goddard did for Blair is only one example of how colorists, who currently can't work directly on their clients, are helping those clients achieve their hair-color goals at a safe distance. For example, Brooklyn salon The Bird House created a Quarantine Color Kit for clients based on the meticulous notes they've keep on their color history; it includes dye, developer, an applicator bottle, gloves, a processing cap, hair clips, and instructions.
The comments are filled with friends and fans saying they love her hair whether it's gray or brown, and we have to agree. And if she decides to keep the color, there's no doubt Goddard will gladly deliver for as long as the salon isn't an option.
