English term

blotchy

English to Portuguese Marketing Advertising / Public Relations
The person actually assigned this task was Shirley Polykoff, a copywriter for the Foote, Cone & Belding agency. Her story of how she came up with the famous line “Does she . . . or doesn’t she?” provides a fascinating illustration of the cre¬ative process in advertising. At the time of the Miss Clairol ¬campaign, there was no hair-coloring business. In fact, according to Ms. Polykoff, at-home hair-coloring jobs invariably turned out blotchy. Women were ashamed to color their own hair at home.

manchado

O cabelo pintado em casa normalmente fica "manchado" porque é difícil fazê-lo sozinha e conseguir cobrir tudo com a tinta de maneira uniforme.

Hoje em dia é mais fácil colorir o cabelo em casa por conta das novas tintas, de fácil aplicação.

Experiência própria que concorda com Ms. Polykoff!
