Our Ginger Girl...

In early February, Ashlynn missed a day of school to be in her first video. She was hired by The Insiders, a Dutch hair brand started by a collaboration of hair professionals, to be in two instructional videos on using their products. They specifically wanted a native English speaker. I went with her to find their corporate headquarters in an industrial park in Amsterdam, but didn’t stay. She sent me this behind-the-scene photo...

...and later The Insiders posted this photo. Unfortunately, when I first posted this five months later, they are still working on editing the videos. Turned out that she was in two videos, one called Pretty Festival Grunge Look and the other called Colour Love (unfortunately, this one has since been taken off their website). 

It was a very long day--13 hours--but she enjoyed herself. She had been warned that the color mask might temporarily change her hair color, but we were surprised when she returned home with orange hair and she was surprised with how long it took for the dye to completely wash out.

Depending upon the light, her hair looked nearly the same shade of ginger as Sophie’s.
