Julianne Hough Is Now a Redhead — and She Looks Gorgeous
Can dyeing your hair really change your life? Julianne Hough is here to say yes. The actress and professional dancer, who is normally a very bright blonde, just completely changed up her look by dyeing her hair a rich copper red color. Hough penned a long caption explaining her hair decision and how she feels so much more comfortable in her own skin with her new hue. "I have never felt more like ME than I do right now!!" Hough wrote. "I have always felt like a redhead my whole life, even to the point that I've thought that my future daughter would 100 [percent] be a redhead!" She continued, "I've seriously talked about doing this for [six] years, ask anyone who knows me...and now that I'm on this new journey, exploring and finding out who I truly am, I said screw it! I feel more feminine and alive and I love it! " There's nothing like a good hair transformation to shake up your entire life.
For anyone who follows Hough on social media, it should come as no surprise that she went to Nine Zero One in Los Angeles, the salon co-owned by her hairstylist and close friend, Riawna Capri (who we gave the title of "coolest hair on Instagram" back in 2014 when the social media platform was still fairly new). Her colorist was Amber Maynard, who also works with Demi Lovato and Hillary Duff.
Hough got inspired by Jessica Chastain's dark strawberry hue, which, according to a press release, took 9 hours to achieve — even though Hough had just had a bleach and tone before going red.
Take a peek at the multihyphenate's transformation in the Instagram post below:
Hough took the plunge just in time for an important Instagram update — redhead emojis are officially under final review to debut on iPhones in June 2018 after what seems like years of asking Unicode for more representation. It's also great to see someone with such traditionally beautiful looks — can we talk about Julianne Hough's blue eyes? — giving love to an underrated hair color. If she's not planning an Ariel and Prince Eric Halloween costume with her new husband at right now, we'll be very disappointed.
