Jessica Alba Lightens Up
Filed under: CELEBRITY STYLE, Cuts & Style, Hair, Celebrity
When the days start getting longer and tulips begin to bloom, we never fail to find ourselves in our stylist's chair begging for a brighter, blonder 'do. And we're not the only ones -- Jessica Alba was spotted out and about yesterday with seriously lighter locks.
We're happy to hear that the highlighted tresses are for her latest film, "The Killer Inside Me," because we think this babe is better as a brunette. But then again, Ms. Alba could spike her hair and dye it purple and look better than us at our very best.
What do you think?

The most recent addition to the blonde-to-brunette club is Fergie. The singing diva traded her dark blonde locks for this seriously slick shade of chocolate brown, with mahogany highlights.
Sarah Jessica Parker was seen on strolling the New York City streets sporting tussled chocolate tresses. SJP may be enjoying her last few months of "normalcy" before rejoining her sassy gang to begin shooting part two of Sex and the City this summer.
What do you think of SJP's new look? Are you feeling the brown hair? Should she return to her iconic wavy gold strands?

I do like Jessica Alba with her hair brunette. I also did find similar sunglasses that she's wearing in this picture but with her hair brunette.

I had been overweight for the past five years. I had tried almost everything in the market, right from taking diet pills to enrolling in a gym but nothing really worked. Yes I did lose a few pounds but nothing substantial. It was then that a friend recommended Acai Berry Supreme http://acaiberry.favherbal.com to me. I have been using the product for about a month now and have slimmed down considerably. I have actually started to wear all those dresses that I had put off for so long. The product is definitely one of the best weight loss products in the market today. I have already finished two bottles of Acai Berry Supreme and am on my third bottle now. It totally changed my life! Not only did I lose a lot of weight quickly, I have also never felt more energetic and so full of life!

What the heck does this have anything to do with that womans hair? But good for you! I know its great to find something that really works. But beware, alot of things will work for a little while and then stops. Atleast thats always been what I've experenced.

There are tricks that the super models use that keep them looking better than almost all other women. As a former model I'll share a couple of their secret with you. For cellulite it's http://cli.gs/CelluliteSolutions and for their smooth, healthy looking skin it's Caracol Cream http://cli.gs/AgeDefyingCaracol If you go to that web site and read about the ingredients in Caracol Cream you'll see why it is in a class by itself when it comes to reducing the appearance of wrinkles and giving the skin an amazingly healthy appearance.

It's about time brunettes stop going blonde and just be a beautiful brunette! Go with what looks best on you, not just what's the trend. And for goodness sake, don't buy purple sunglasses just because Jessica Alba wears them! She probably has a different pair for every outfit!
By the way, acai is a great antioxident, but as for weight loss, you'll do better eating less more often, and exercising.

Who is this woman? I guess I've never watched anything shes been in, so I don't know what she looked like before. Who ever puts these stories on here needs to realize the public doesn't always know who the heck they are talking about. Atleast put a before picture up too.

When they try to 'go blond', the hair itself looks wonderful. But they don't notice, or care, how it clashes with their skin tone and looks fake fake fake. There's something brassy and false and greenish about bleached hair on an olive skinned woman.

I don't think it's good for the pictures for Jessica Alba to have blond hair. It's not really her thing. If she wants to change something, she should make it something flattering, like a nice, new, and fresh look. Not including the hair. She looks like she should be in a box that says: "Barbie Jesssica Alba. Changes hair color in icy and warm water. Comes with fake bottle of hair dye. Small peices may choke or hurt children ages 2 and under."

She's not blond. She has blond highlights. Jeeze! I was expecting a picture of her gone platinum.

What do you get when you turn a blond upside down?
A brunette with bad breath.

I think I got those sunglasses in a Wendy's kids meal once, back in 1989.
The blond is only highlights, and they do make her look a tad washed out, but she is Jessica Alba for the love of all that's holy, and she's gonna look ten times better than all of us posting comments even with her head in the proverbial paper bag. I'm not gonna trash the girl over one hair misstep...
... Although those sunglasses...

We love beautiful people. We spend a fortune on looking good, clothing, makeup, cars, etc. I can tell you that the easiest and cheapest way to look good is to lose weight. Lookin' good like these celebs is well worth the effort. I lost 47 pounds in 6 weeks using the Rapidthin diet at www.rapidthin.com. Good luck to all. Use what works for you.

Is it really any of our business what she wants to do with her hair? Why are we a society that believes that we can put down people and critisize them? How do you think she feels when she hears that people are saying she looks horrible as a blonde? Not to mention look at that picture could it have been taken at a worse time? If you had a picture snapped like that of you it would be hidden at the bottom of your photos. She looks like she was in the middle of talking to someone. I know I hate when people take photos of me with my mouth wide open. Everybody just needs to grow up and mind there own business. Treat people the way you would like to be treated and if you dont have anything nice to say dont say it at all!
