Natalia Dyer's New Hair Is So Different From Her 'Stranger Things' Look—and So Good


Just a few days before the long awaited release of Stranger Things season two, Natalia Dyer did a very un–Nancy Wheeler thing. While we’re used to seeing the actress with a shaggy brown bob similar to the eighties-style waves Nancy wears on the show, Natalia has a new hairstyle that’s a far departure from what we’ve seen since she catapulted to overnight stardom. Think more slapping-Steve-in-the-face-and-shooting-a-Demogorgon badass than Barb’s timid “good girl” best friend. While her new cut still grazes her shoulders, she’s traded it in for brow-sweeping bangs, blunt ends—a trend taking off among celebrities—and a lived-in dirty blond hue that’s going by the name of “cream soda” as of late.

Like how the Upside Down happened or where Eleven’s been taking the Eggos Hopper leaves for her, we’ve got theories on why the sudden change. Around this time last year, she mentioned an interview with Glamour that her life has changed tremendously since the release of the show’s first season. “Living in New York, just getting stopped on the street often and having people talk about the show is crazy and wonderful. It’s great! But it’s definitely something to get used to,” she said. “People do recognize me. I walk around with sunglasses, and I think I’m hidden, but they see me.”

It’s possible that this hair change had some deeper roots—no pun intended—that were tied to wanting a less recognizable look. Or, hey, she’s got a busy press tour coming up and wanted something new. Whatever the reason, it looks great.

In the meantime, while we patiently await the show’s premiere tomorrow, we’ll leave you with this teaser about Nancy’s season-two look that Natalia revealed in our October 2017 issue: “I told the people in the show’s hair department, ‘Next season, I’m down. Perm my hair.'” TBH, not a crazy thing to ask for.

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.

'Root Beer Hair' Is the Fall Brunette Hair Trend You'll Actually Want


PHOTO: Instagram / @chrisgreenehair

Logging in to Pinterest can serve up endless hair inspo, but at the same time, it’s easy to feel boxed in by the overload of light brown hair with blond highlights. The color combo (recently given the catchy name of cream soda hair) is super pretty, but if you’re not in the color range already, we have good news. There’s now a similar spin for brown hair, and it’s going to be just as ubiquitous. It even comes equipped with its own beverage-themed name: “Root beer hair” is the gorgeous, warm red tint of highlights that you’re going to want on your head.

What does root beer hair look like? Picture brown with subtle auburn streaks running through, which add dimension and warmth. Once you know its name, you start seeing it everywhere. The red glints are part of the reason Selena Gomez’s hair always looks so fantastic.

One of the first iterations came to us via Sarah Hyland, with the combination also going by “cinnamon chocolate” (the hair world loves a food moniker; see also: “chocolate chip cookie hair” and “citrus hair“).

Root beer highlighters could also be one of the reasons that Kaia Gerber’s hair always looks so sun-kissed:

Another example: the auburn highlights that come out in Olivia Munn’s hair in the light.

Chris Greene, a hair colorist at Beverly Hills’ Mèche Salon, told Refinery29 that the key is to look for rich, warm highlights and lowlights, all within that toasty brown color family. Some stylists are even comparing the hue to hazelnuts, given the similarity in the shades.

If you can stop staring at it for a second, you’ve got a stronger will than we do. And while blonds got the “pastel hair, no bleach needed” trend, this one’s way easier for brunettes to dabble in. A quick gloss or glaze (they’re usually the same thing) with something like John Freida or Rita Hazan’s at-home tint, and you’re set for root beer. The end result: color that looks anything but canned.

The Best Shampoo for Curly Hair Is Also Super Cheap


As someone who unabashedly subscribes to the cult of conditioner, it’s the rare shampoo that can wiggle its way into my heart. With curls, honestly, it’s all about the conditioner. The very idea behind the no-poo movement is that curls need all the hydration they can get, and shampoos, with their “we’ll get your scalp clean” antics, can contribute to dry, fragile strands. It’s led some people to swear off shampoo altogether, but that’s never been an option for me (maybe TMI, but I live a life of dander). Instead, I used to soldier through shampoo as a basic necessity, following it with heavy-duty conditioner to add back moisture. That all changed when I found Desert Essence Coconut Shampoo, hands-down the best shampoo for curly hair that I’ve ever used.

Not to brag, but we met right before the beginning of the coconut oil craze. Back in those days, coconut oil was still hanging out with olive oil in gourmet food shops, but a random stroll through the Whole Foods beauty aisle found Desert Essences’ tube of shampoo in my basket. I was lured in by the smell—imagine the freshest, most decadently delicious coconut frosting smell in the world. It was love at first whiff. My sweet tooth knows no bounds; I wanted that smell all over my head.

But while the smell is incredible, that alone wouldn’t be enough to hook me for the years that this shampoo and I have been together. That passion—that commitment—is thanks to how moisturizing and detangling the shampoo is. I squirt a palmful out, run it through my hair, squish it around until a mild lather shows up, and then wait, like, two minutes. And in that time, all of the knots fall out of my hair.

I don’t say that lightly. My curls snarl like a mofo, and I usually spend 10 minutes standing under the water detangling spider knots with a wide-tooth comb. For that reason, I reach for the Coconut Shampoo on the mornings I’m either so brain dead I want to keep sleeping while standing up, or just need a good curl day to happen. It always delivers. Despite the phenomenal coconut smell, I chalk it up to the trifecta of oils included in the formula. With coconut oil, jojoba oil, and olive oil, this is the gentlest shampoo I’ve ever found—it leaves my curls clean, but it also makes that “squelch” sound that means you can skip conditioner if you want to, because your hair is full-up on moisture. As a creature of habit, I never do. But I like having the option.

Bella Thorne Chopped Her Hair Into a Lob


PHOTO: Instagram: @bellathorne

Bella Thorne’s style is extra in the best way. See the quite literal “porn suit” she wore on the red carpet last night. (If you need more clarification or are reading this somewhere NSFW, that would be a pantsuit printed with old-school pornography clips.) And the same sensibility can be said for her hair. It was only five days ago she announced she’d gone blond for her twentieth birthday, and yet, not even a day later, she revealed she’d changed her hair again—which she finally unveiled in a photo on Instagram today. But, unlike her platinum wig or XXX outfit, this latest look is actually a lot more drastic than first meets the eye.

Bella’s no stranger to lightning quick, neon bright hair changes—she’s gone from turquoise to magenta to electric auburn—but she’s always kept her hair at more or less the same length. It usually ends just past her shoulders—at least, we think that’s where it naturally falls. She’s no Ariana Grande, but she’s been riding the hair extension train for years now.

Enter then, her new look.

Judging from the photo she posted, Bella’s chopped her hair into a shag cut just shy of bob territory. It’s style much loved by celebrities at the moment: Kaia Gerber, Troian Bellisario, and Taylor Swift have all gone the way of the cut recently, only without the bait-and-switch wig fakeout. To answer the question Bella tweeted out to her 6.8 million followers today, it looks great.

From leg hair to acne scars, Bella’s been open about her body image struggles. She doesn’t always hit the mark—who does in their teens?—but her willingness to be a real person with real issues has always had a kind of fevered and flashy allure.

This haircut feels like Bella at her best: real, vulnerable, and a little bit messy. All in all, what’s most shocking about it is how not shocking it is. It’s so low-key for her. What else is there to say? It’s a major chop, a major change, and maybe our first glimpse at a Bella Thorne in her 20s. We’ll just have to wait and see what she does next.

Busy Philipps Just Dyed Michelle Williams' Hair Pink on Instagram


PHOTO: INSTAGRAM / @BUSYPHILIPPS

Legend has it that celebrities are just like us, and watching Busy Philipps dye Michelle Williams’ hair pink, well, let’s just say we’re starting to buy into that idea a little more. On Wednesday night, the real-life best friends recorded the whole night for Instagram, and it’s impossible to look away.

The action began while the duo and a friend were staying up for a flight back to LA from Paris. After going out, they were back in a hotel room (with white wine) when the pink-haired Philipps whipped out her leave-in hair tint. “Guys, we’re going to dye her hair pink. What do you think? Is this a good idea? Look at that hair. It’s going to be pink,” Philipps explained to the camera.

Philipps says she uses the tint for 20 minutes to get her pink color, so they decided to put it into William’s platinum pixie for five minutes. The goal: “perfectly millennial pink” hair. Philipps massaged it in; Williams’ face is, in a word, incredible. In two words, incredible and relatable.

Five minutes of wine time later, and Williams’ was freshly pink.

For how it happened, the color looks great—like pink champagne (alcohol pun not intended), strawberry blond’s platinum-based sister.

In a Leslie Knope way, Philipps said what we were all thinking: “She has slightly pink hair, and it’s fucking beautiful. She’s like a little nymph asleep next to me.”
