Changing your hair color from blonde to brunette is a bold, transformative choice. A dramatic hair change often means a new lease on life, or it may simply mean that your dyed, light hair needs rejuvenating with a deeper color.
As we can see from the many celebrities who have embraced darker hues, changing hair color is more than just a change of appearance. It can completely change one's identity, and for many, the transition from blonde to brunette has given them a new type of elegance, sophistication, and sex appeal. Just look at Hailey Bieber and Dakota Johnson, who both ditched blonde for good for brown hair, bringing a new maturity to their style and careers.
While many have changed their hairstyle and never looked back, some, like Rihanna, change their hair color and hairstyle frequently and never stay with one style for long.
What we do know is that when celebrities change their hair color, it inspires us to make a change as well. With that in mind, if you're thinking about dying your hair brown, here are some celebrities who can inspire your new look.
