Seven Celebrities Whose Natural Hair Colour Will Surprise You

You won’t believe this - by Elyssa Kostopoulos

When you’re a celebrity, changing your hair is as simple as changing outfits. Just look at stars like Kylie Jenner, who are famous for matching their locks to their outfits, or Bella Hadid, who changed up her haircut more than a few times this past season. But without a doubt, the most favoured celebrity option for a new-do is of course, a new hair colour.

Our favourite celebs change their hair so often, that it’s hard to know what their real hair colour actually is. So, it should really come as no surprise to learn that some of Hollywood’s greatest brunettes were once blondes or that Reese Witherspoon is not so ‘legally blonde’ after all.

Keep scrolling to see the seven celebrities whose hair colour transformations truly shocked us – and gave us a case of major hair envy.

Jennifer Aniston

For as long as we can remember, Jennifer Aniston's 'dirty blonde' hair has been one of the most sought after hair colours. However, the Friends star was actually born a brunette bombshell!

Miley Cyrus

As we've watched Miley Cyrus transform from her Hannah Montana days to the popstar she is now, we've also witnessed her several of her experimental hairstyles, cuts and colours. The once caramel blonde sweetheart has been rocking her blonde hair for quite some time – maybe the Hannah Montana wig had more of an influence than we thought?

Jessica Alba

You might be surprised to learn that actress Jessica Alba's hair colour is MUCH darker than what we typically see. Alba has gradually lightened her hair over the years and now sports the most perfect ombré colour. Ironically, her natural chocolate-brown hue is actually trending – nicknamed 'chocolate cake hair'.

Ariana Grande

What would Ariana Grande be without her signature high-ponytail? The popstar's natural hair is the complete opposite from how she wears it today – a deep, nearly black dark brown, with curls for days. We can barely recognise her!

Jennifer Lopez

We now know Jennifer Lopez for her bright, beautiful highlights; but the actress' hair pre-foils was a very dark shade of brown. No matter the colour, JLo's hair has always looked fab.

Halle Berry

Halle Berry's iconic pixie cut has been a favourite style for the actress over the years – her natural hue a deep shade of almost black. Recently, however, Berry has been wearing her hair lighter with a lot more length than she did back in the day.
