Who Has More Fun? Making the Switch from Blonde to Brunette

It seems as though Julia Roberts gets more beautiful with age! She tends to go back and forth between brunette and blonde, but the latter definitely works better for her I think.

Many women choose to go lighter for summertime which is usually complimentary to sun-kissed skin, but beware of frosty looking highlights. Here, Roberts has a honey-colored base with golden highlights. A lot of celebs go back and forth between colors, it works on some of them, but on others, highlights just make them look older.

Kate Hudson recently made the switch to dark brunette which looks very beautiful on her here at the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic. The brown suits her although I can’t help but think her trademark blonde locks keep her looking younger.

Fergie looks better with lighter hair also. Her look below at the MTV Video Music Awards in Japan is so hard looking, whereas the blonde softens the curves on her face a bit more.

Whether you decide to go darker or lighter for summer, my best advice would be to ask your stylist to use a really conditioning formula on your hair. Maintenance is also really important so the color doesn’t fade or get brassy. Shopping around for good color-saving products wouldn’t hurt either.
