Garnier Nutrisse has a new spokeswoman in the form of actress Christi Panagio:

I was offered a chance to ask Christi a few quick questions and this is what she had to say…

Congrats on being Garnier’s new face! We’re assuming you’ve used the product yourself so tell us, what did you like about it?
Blonde hair can easily look dry, so I am a big fan of using oil on my hair. The avocado and grape-seed oil in Garnier Nutrisse is exactly what my hair needs to give it that much needed shine and radiance.

What’s the most awesome thing about being a brand ambassador for Garnier Nutrisse?
I feel totally in sync when I have a ‘good hair day’, so being constantly treated to fabulous colour, products, and treatments, is such a blessing! Plus it really is an honor to be a spokesperson for such a cool brand.

Have you always had gorgeous-looking locks or have you ever suffered through a haircut from hell or dye disaster?
Oh I’ve most definitely had my fair share of disasters! Besides chlorine-green-holiday hair, I’ve also suffered a (very) bad perm and a home-cut fringe (twice)! Im quite impulsive so my husband keeps the hair-scissors nicely locked away!

Aside from Garnier Nutrisse, what are your other hair care must-haves?
Loreal’s Mythic Oil is an absolute must-have. I also firmly believe that using salon quality shampoo and conditioner is non-negotiable.

What’s your best advice for women wanting an enviable mane like yourself?
Maintain a good haircut (at least every 8 weeks), take those extra few minutes to style your hair the way you like it, and find the perfect colour to match your skin tone.

And there you have it!

If you’re a Christi fan and want to meet her in the flesh you’ll get a chance when she visits the Garnier Take Care stands at the following malls between 10am and 2pm on these dates:

Cresta Centre in Randburg – 21 April 2012
Canal Walk Shopping Centre in Cape Town – 16 June 2012
East Rand Mall in Boksburg – 29 September 2012

If you buy a box of Garnier Nutrisse hair colour and take it to the stand it’ll entitle you to a photo with Christi and you can enter a competition to win one of 10 Garnier Nutrisse Honey Blonde hampers on the day.

Good luck girls!
