7 Blonde Hairstyle Ideas That Instantly Turn Heads

Whether natural or chosen, there’s continuous proof of the age-old saying that blondes have more fun. Case in point: the diverse roster of celebrities who are currently wearing the hair color. For anyone who wasn’t born a blonde, it’s certainly a bold choice for those who decides to dabble in the bleached look. Still, it undoubtedly commands attention on a red carpet, makes a short pixie cut stand out, or perfectly punctuates a major style transition, such as a big chop. Blonde hair does require more—if not the most—maintenance than other hair colors, but it’s also versatile and looks good on long, short, curly, or straight hair. A welcomed shift away from the restrictive notion that exposed darker roots signal unkemptness has made way for ombré and more natural-looking highlights to take the spotlight for blonde hair. You’ll see from this list of celebrities with blonde hair that, in all its variations, blonde, whether born or bleached, is the undisputed way to make a statement with hair color.
