Is Kim Kardashian Gettin' Wiggy With It?

As the days get brighter, so do the locks of your favorite celebrities.

In the past couple of weeks, both Jessica Alba and Halle Berry have spring-ified their dark 'do's with lighter highlights. So when we saw this recent photo of Kim Kardashian, we thought she was jumping on the blond bandwagon as well.

But, in her latest blog entry, Kim reveals that she punked us all. The curvy reality star writes, "It's a wig! Did I have you fooled? I did a fabulous photo shoot this weekend for Scott Barnes' book About Face. Chuckie Amos did the hair and transformed me with this blond wig and they put this hair piece on! I haven't taken it off since, because I'm really loving the look."

We love Kim's exotic beauty, and are happy to see that she's still a stunning brunette (In our opinion, there are enough cookie-cutter blonds in Hollywood). Here's hoping that Kim wasn't so wigged out by her temporary look that she decides to make it permanent.

    Drew Barrymore's locks have vacillated between shades of honey, caramel, and sunny blond, but this is the first time we're seeing her with an all-out platinum 'do. Her hair looks full and funky swept up in a punky updo, which is a huge tress trend for spring.

Jessica Alba Lightens Up

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Hair Cut and Style




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?

Is Jessica Alba better as a blond or brunette?

Brown Hair Flipbook

    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?

Blonds: Is it time you changed your look?

Filed under: Hair Care


Used to be, that if you wanted to look really hot -- at least in a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition kinda way -- you needed blond hair. It makes sense. After all, some (admittedly dubious) studies have suggested that blonds look younger, and men around the world have been lusting after fair-haired bombshells for decades.

But it seems times are changing. With news that (fake) blonds are more likely to develop lymphoma, and billionaires are overwhelmingly more interested in marrying brunettes, there's plenty of reason to doubt the dye job you might have considered a few years ago.

Plus, it's all too easy for an attempt at creative hair coloring to look lame and/or incredibly tacky -- as even celebrities like Jessica Simpson can't keep from going some creepy-looking shade of orange.

So is it better to work with what you've got? Or is there still a part of you that can't resist letting a colorist go to town on your coiffure? In a new poll released today, the ladies at StyleList pursue this pressing question: Two-toned hair -- love it or hate it? Head on over to vote.
