So you last saw Kris Blondin at her Vin Grotto Café and Wine Bar with a cool purple hue to her hair, and you were waiting to see what color Azarra’s Aura Mae would do next on her. Blue? Chartreuse?

I’m here to tell ya, Blondin’s gone almost mellow (though not, har har, blonde) with a deep red that shows just a cast of cool-toned hue, and with all kinds of lively highlights and lowlights.

So what is that fabulous product in her follicles?

Elumen, a new, anti-oxidant free, high performance, non-damaging permanent product by Goldwell.

See the Elumin colorchart here: www.elumenhaircolor.com/elumen_2/pages/main.php

And try to guess Blondin’s next color.

I’m voting “pink.” — Jessica Corey-Butler
