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.

If you're craving a blonde revamp this year, look no further than Pamela for your inspiration. And thought we'd _alway_s advise visiting a pro to achieve a lighter hair colour, Pamela does make a case for box dye. Eagle-eyed viewers of her recent documentary might have spotted a Garnier failsafe waiting in the wings.

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.'

Later on in the doc, the exact box colour is revealed – with shots of Garnier Nutrisse's Ultra Color in shade PL1 on her countertop at home.

While the exact shade that Pamela uses isn't available this side of the pond, the UK's range of Garnier Nutrisse does carry plenty of 'Scandinavian Blonde' shades at even more pleasing prices. In fact, Garnier Nutrisse's 10.1 Ice Blonde Permanent Hair Dye is just a snip at £6.49.

At-home hair colour isn't for everyone though. If you've got dark brown, brunette or red hair – it's worth visiting a pro to transform your colour to blonde. But, Garnier Nutrisse's blonde box hair colours are a great option for those with blonde hair wanting to go a few shades lighter.

The Garnier Nutrisse range boasts 100% grey coverage and the restoring conditioner contains five plant-based oils to nourish your hair for a more long-lasting, healthy-looking colour.
