Katy Perry's Got a Brand-New Bleach Blond Lob


In May, Katy Perry walked out on The Ellen DeGeneres Show with a brand-new buzzcut to the surprise of fans everywhere. And though the cut looked supremely cool, Perry revealed that the entire thing came together thanks to her overindulgence with bleach. (“I don’t know if you’ve ever dyed your hair too blond,” she told the crowd, “but sometimes your hair falls out. So, that’s the way I handled it.”)

Despite having a much more chill attitude about having to shave off all her hair than most of us, she also told Byrdie that the entire experience challenged her views on beauty ideals. No longer having longer hair meant she needed to redefine what being beautiful meant to her. She added, “Now I can’t hide behind it. I wanted to know that I could still feel beautiful and love myself without it. It’s fun, it’s freeing, it’s liberating, and I don’t think that ‘sexiness’ and ‘femininity’ is just one thing—long hair. I suppose the goal is to redefine what femininity means to me.”

But now, nearly eight months later, Perry is adding just a few inches to her wispy pixie cut—at least for one night. In an Instagram story, the singer revealed a new look thanks to a wildly believable wig that was the same bleach-blond color, only this time hit just above her shoulders.

Beyond the new lob, Perry also shared the other beauty treatment she had done that day—a cupping session—before heading over to a Jay Z concert, a reason as good as any to change your hair for the night.

Selena Gomez's Blond Hair Took an Insane Amount of Time to Do


The world collectively lost its chill when Selena Gomez hit the red carpet on Sunday night. In a move no one saw coming—even her stans were shocked—the singer had gone blond seemingly overnight. Gomez’s shade, dubbed “Nirvana Blond” by her stylists, is shiny and grunge-chic, and looks surprisingly healthy, considering we saw Sel on social media with her signature dark hair a mere 12 hours beforehand. Which left a lot of people wondering if this was the work of a wig. Now, thanks to an Instagram post from expert stylist and Nine Zero Nine salon owner Riawna Capri, we know: (a) yes, Selena Gomez is really, truly a blond and (b) it took a damn long time to get her there.

Going from brunette to full-on platinum is no joke. To do it right takes time, and a rush job, even in a salon, can leave you bald or burned. That’s why it was so refreshing to see Capri get real about exactly how long it took to take Gomez from dark and glossy to peroxide blond. Spoiler: It took a mind-boggling amount of time and manpower. Capri’s caption was directed to stylists who might be faced with clients looking to go Gomez’s particular shade of icy grunge, but to be honest, it’s fascinating whether you’re an expert in a salon or can barely trim your own bangs.

According to the post Capri shared today, the entire process took “9 hours, about 300 foils, and 8 bowls of bleach, all with 2 stylists working together simultaneously.” Also required: an incredible amount of patience, which Capri and her team luckily have in spades. Capri also shared a rare glimpse into the painstaking process from start to finish: “It was a nice long patient process of baby fine slices, then going back and opening each foil and reapplying, but done in one sitting. Anything is possible in one day, it just takes time, no other clients, ha, and patience to maintain the integrity of the hair.”

With white-blond being the year’s biggest trend (and pastel/rainbow shades staying steadily popular), 2017 has brought no shortage of celebrities taking the platinum plunge. But it’s just as important for everyday folks to know how much time and effort it takes to go this blond overnight—if that’s even possible. Back when Khloé Kardashian made her evolution from dark to light, her colorist famously shared this chart of all the stages she went along the way as a warning call to all who wanted to copy.

Shout out to Capri for sharing a glimpse of the journey so we all can, in her words, “now be VERY patient with our stylists.” Obviously, it pays off.

Selena Gomez Debuts Blond Hair at the American Music Awards 2017


The world has been waiting with bated breath for Selena Gomez to arrive at the 2017 American Music Awards—not only for her first live performance in over a year, but also to see whether she would have a certain date (ahem, Justin Bieber) by her side. But rather than revealing her rumored rekindled love on the red carpet, Gomez debuted a brand-new hairstyle instead: The 25-year-old singer has a chic, icy platinum bob now.

Whether the stunning new blond ‘do is a permanent change or a temporary look for the AMAs is unclear—especially considering six hours prior, Gomez had dark hair and blunt bangs, per her Insta story. But her longtime stylist Marissa Marino’s Instagram gives us some clues: apparently Nine Zero One colorist Nikki Lee is the one responsible for Gomez’s new hair, meaning she very well could have just joined in Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande in the “real fake blondes” club.

Beyond the blond, Gomez is set to perform her new song “Wolves” at the 2017 AMAs, making it her first performance since receiving a kidney transplant due to complications from her struggle with lupus. The performance marks a major milestone for Gomez, on a stage where she’s made several: Crying over Justin Bieber during “The Heart Wants What It Wants” back in 2014, delivering an inspiring speech post-treatment in 2016, and now returning from her latest health scare. “The AMAs have been a place where I’ve shared some of my most intimate moments,” she wrote on Instagram earlier in the week, while teasing her “Wolves” performance.

WOW: Kris Jenner Has Platinum Blond Hair Now


Here comes the mother of all celebrity hair changes, from the mother of (what can feel like) all celebrities: Kris Jenner just changed her hair. Today, dark brown pixie cuts lost an icon—but the world of platinum just got a new star. In an Instagram posted by Kim Kardashian West, the birthday girl handed over the attention to her mom. As a boss would, Kris is shown lounging, martini in hand, with her new white-blond ‘do.

With literally just the one image to go on, it’s too soon to tell where on the hair switch permanence scale this’ll be falling. It could be that Kris pulled a Kylie and went with a wig for the day. Kylie’s basically set the bar for convincing changes, so we shouldn’t be surprised that it looks so entirely realistic. Still, everyone thought that Kim’s platinum color wouldn’t stick around for long, and she’s holding onto her color a month later. Nothing is for sure.

As with anything Kardashian, umpteenth photos will likely surface on every social media platform, and soon. Until then, we can only hope that Kim is lending Kris some of her Nexxus Emergecee Protein Treatment. Kim told fans that the $20 drugstore hair treatment is the magic behind all of her formerly-black hair not breaking after she went bleach blond in September, so at least the Calabasas fam is likely well-stocked.

Also, can we take a sec to appreciate what a moment in history this is? Today marks the first time in recent memory (since, like, 2013) that Kris has made a major hair change. For all that her kids love to change up their looks (and they really love to change up their looks), Kris usually stays pretty true to her signature pixie cut. That said, anyone who watches any of the family’s 127913 shows knows that Kris does love to get involved. It’s her move.

Olivia Wilde's Blond Highlights Are Super Subtle and Majorly Pretty


There’s arguments for and against reading into celebrity hair changes. On the one hand, celebrities are people, obviously, and while sometimes they just dye their hair for the fun of it (and the Insta story), other times it goes deeper. Case in point, when Olivia Wilde chopped her hair off last winter after seeing the Melania Trump resemblance, and when she dyed her hair dark brown to get into character as Julia in 1984. She described that hair switch as “dark times call for dark hair,” and while it was a fittingly bleak statement, with the play wrapped, she just picked up some pretty beautiful blond highlights.

Wilde first took the change out for a spin at the Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program Luncheon, and her highlights are the best example of a tiny amount of bleach making a huge difference. The streaks come from celebrity hairstylist Owen Gould, and while it looks like they basically just dusted her ends with a few spots of caramel, the shift changes her whole look.

Especially when the light hits her flipped out ends, the lighter color reads like a hair accessory. That’s likely because instead of going for a molten, gradually ombré-d look, the blond actually starts pretty abruptly. And since it’s at her tips, it looks even cooler.

Although to be fair, Wilde probably knew it would. In her life pre-play, she was wearing a style pretty similar to her new streaks, with the same kind of blond ends that could easily be swept up in a bun for a more brunette look. If ain’t broke (and you’re not currently starring in a dystopian production), don’t fix it, etc.

Emma Roberts' New 'Champagne Pop' Hair Is the Coolest Take on Blond


Emma Roberts has gone through quite a few hair changes this year: first, there was the orangey-red “cayenne spice” in February, followed by a gorgeous “smoky quartz” shade of brown. Then, there was brunette, as recently as August 3. Now, she’s gone blond—with an awesome bob to match—and it looks incredible. The cut itself is piece-y and hits an inch or two below her chin, with side-swept bangs and choppy layers hitting as far as above her ear. It’s styled with those cool-girl waves that look even more amazing the next morning. But the color is what truly stands out: the “champagne pop” color mixes strands of light champagne blond (a warmer tone) and ashy, cooler platinum hues. Because you rarely see the mixing of warm and cool tones in one look, the color is its own—incredible—statement.

Her hairstylist, Riawna Capri at Nine Zero One Salon, revealed Roberts’ new look in an Instagram post that also contained a ton of advice for girls thinking about going blond—especially this blond: “Stylists, don’t forgot to remind your clients going from brunette to blonde, that ‘3 times a charm’ ✨ it’s near impossible to get that perfect blonde in one appointment,” she wrote. “Clients, be patient with your stylist! Healthy, beautiful color takes time!” For Roberts, the journey started August 3 and took three “blondings.”

For reference, here’s Roberts on August 4, right after her first blond dye:

And here’s her new look:

So cool, right? If you’re looking for something a little warmer, this trending cream soda color makes a great transition shade with more golden tones. Or, for more fall hair color inspration, check out the nine hair color trends that are going to be everywhere this fall.
