Blonde and Blonder

While lots of celebs are going darker with their haircolor these days, there are also a couple of notable stars going blonde. "Sin City" star, Jessica Alba has been blonde for a while now.Click here to see a photo gallery of her hairstyles and haircolors.

Of course, when a gal's hair is as naturally dark as Jessica's, it was only a matter of time before she had to chop off a lot of length in order to shed the damage done. The new haircut is cute... but of course, Jessica is cute.

Partygirl of the moment, Lindsay Lohan, gets blonder by the moment. Click here to see a photo gallery of her hairstyles and haircolors.

Here is someone who's been dyeing her hair a rich red. Going blonde from there is never easy and often isn't possible. The damage can be seen in the lack of shine and lustre in Lindsay's hair.

Now, it's likely that both these women have made haircolor changes for film roles. But we mortals can learn vicariously from their hair experiences. Some people just aren't meant to be blonde. Blonde isn't an immediate option, sometimes (for instance, Lohan would have benefited from growing out her red dyed locks first, before lightening).

Personally, I'll be glad to see both Jess and Lin get back to warmer haircolors. Imagine how sophisticated Jessica Alba's new bob haircut would look in a glossy chocolate brown. And, of course, Lindsay Lohan set herself totally apart when she went with red--as a blonde, she looks more like one of the crowd.
