Check out her transformation from auburn to golden blonde and get inspired for your next salon visit!
Summer is officially here, and with it comes a new hair transformation from none other than the beloved Julia Roberts. Known for her signature autumnal red locks, Roberts has surprised us all by going bright blonde, just in time for the sunny season. And let us tell you, it’s like seeing an old friend after a long time apart – Blonde Julia is back and better than ever!
The transformation took place ahead of a high-profile Joe Biden fundraiser in Los Angeles, and the mastermind behind this golden glow is Roberts’ longtime colorist, Kadi Lee. Lee, who works her magic at the Highbrow Hippie salon, shared the journey of taking Roberts from her classic auburn to a buttery golden blonde on Instagram. Her approach, as always, was “slow and methodical,” ensuring the health and integrity of Roberts’ hair were maintained throughout the process.
Going from dark to blonde can be quite the challenge, but Lee’s expertise shines through. She made sure to take a “slow and steady” route, avoiding the pitfalls of rushing such a drastic color change. The result? A stunning, dimensional blonde with a mix of darker and lighter highlights that perfectly captures that sunny summer vibe.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Roberts this blonde – Facebook memories even reminded Lee that she did a similar transformation for the Oscar winner seven years ago. Clearly, some things never change, including the timeless appeal of a summer blonde makeover. Roberts’ new shade isn’t too cool or warm; it’s the perfect neutral blonde with a touch of depth at the roots, giving it a natural, laidback look.
Stylist Serge Normant complemented the new color by styling Roberts’ hair in loose beach waves, adding a touch of summer flair. He also gave her a slight trim and transformed her blunt bangs into soft, face-framing curtain bangs with layers. The result is a beautifully balanced look that highlights the new blonde hue and adds a relaxed, beachy feel.
Roberts’ hair was previously a rich, classic auburn, reminiscent of her early Hollywood days. The last time she ventured into blonde territory was back in 2021 with honey highlights on a bronde base. Now, her hair is a bright golden hue, proving that some shades are simply perfect for the warmer months.
So, if you’re thinking about a summer hair makeover, take a cue from Julia Roberts. Embrace the season with a bright blonde transformation that radiates sunny energy. Whether you go for an “It Girl” blonde or a subtle desert sand shade, the warmer months are the perfect time to lighten up.
