Just an FYI – I recently tried the clear coat Clairol and got compliments IMMEDIATELY. No one could figure out what I did…but they commented on shiny, (and suddenly bouncy) hair. Not an easy task in a fashion office.

Thanks for spotting the trend !

What an insightful comment and to answer your question — I say a resounding “Absolutely!”

Transparency is a currently a hot issue in the political arena but even before these recent conversations the skepticism over integrity and honesty in many areas including the corporate world and charitable sector prompted the demand for transparency.

We no longer would “blindly” trust the organizations and the people we put our trust in as shareholders, donors, patients, parents, employees, etc. We wanted to be able to see what was going on behind the scenes so to speak and demanded transparency.

With so much talk about and desire for transparency it was only natural that it found its way onto the runway and into the home. Not that this was the only influence but it certainly played a role.

Great job of spotting the trend behind the trend, Pat!
