Pamela Anderson’s Signature Blonde Is The Work Of A Boots Box Dye

Pamela Anderson is having a real moment right now. Netflix's latest documentary - Pamela, A Love Story - dropped earlier this year, in part a response to the Hulu series Pam & Tommy. The drama starred Lily James as Pamela and told the story of her rise to fame and her relationship with Tommy Lee (Sebastian Stan). Pamela didn't approve the series and her new documentary is widely viewed as an effort to set the record straight.

Both the 2022 drama series and Netflix's latest documentary have brought on a Pamela Anderson revival, not least in the beauty arena. From nostalgic make-up throwbacks on Instagram to viral get-the-look TikTok tutorials, Pamela enduring influence is plain to see. In fact, PriceListo revealed that searches for 'Pamela Anderson hairstyle' have risen 525% worldwide in the last week as a result of the documentary. While online searches for ‘bleach blonde hair dye’ also exploded 244%. It's clearly one of the top hair colour trends of 2023.

During the documentary, Pam is filmed shopping at a drugstore in her home town. '[My mom] taught me how to colour my hair from the drugstore,' she reveals. 'five dollars for a box and I can do it myself in twenty minutes – Scandinavian Blonde here I come.'
