ColorWow Hair Founder Gail Federici

Published: Aug. 26, 2020, 7 a.m.

Hands up if you\u2019ve had to get creative to cover up your roots this year?! Without question, most of us have had to stretch between colorist visits. Today, we get the backstory behind the genius hair color-in-a-makeup-pan, earner of seven Allure Best in Beauty Awards and the impetus for about a bazillion knock-offs.\xa0

Founder Gail Federici goes way back to share her roots in inventing strand-saving products, including the deets on her original brainchild, John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum. She\u2019s also going to take us through the wild ride of selling that company (that may have involved a coin flip!) And finally, Gail tells us what it\u2019s like working with Kim Kardashian\u2019s mane man, Chris Appleton \u2013 he of the \u201cglass hair trend\u201d and arguably the secret weapon behind ColorWow\u2019s trajectory from cult status to mass fandom.
