The "Don’t Start Now" singer revamped her dark lob by unintentionally adding some short bangs, which she called "bleached breakage."

EMMA ROBERTS

Emma Roberts has mastered the art of transitioning from brunette to dirty blonde and does so once every few months (we’re hoping she uses a sulfate-free conditioner!) But her latest hair change is more dramatic — the actress sported a lighter and longer ‘do while out and about in West Hollywood on Wednesday. Roberts, who usually keeps her roots dark, opted for an all-over blonde shade this time around and we’re here for it.

Jordyn Woods is heating things up with a fiery new hue. On Sunday, the 22-year-old model shared a snap on Instagram of herself wearing a curly red wig, courtesy of hairstylist Jonathan Wright.

Jennifer Lopez chopped off several inches for this shoulder-skimming lob. "We wanted to do something chic and classy that highlighted her features," says her pro Chris Appleton. He says this look is easiest if you have straight hair. "If your texture is curly, be prepared to take time to style it," Appleton says.

Sleekness with lots of shine is key for a look like J.Lo’s, so invest in a quality flat iron, a heat protectant to keep hair healthy and Color Wow's EXTRA Shine Spray, which Appleton used on the star.

Jennifer Garner's pro Adir Abergel loves "curtain bangs": "They are soft on the ends and could be worn across the forehead or swept to the side." (Nervous about making a cut? Try clip-ins, as he used on Garner.)

“We’d talked about doing it since last year,” says Zendaya’s hairstylist Ursula Stephen about this color she debuted at the Emmys. Red can be prone to fading, so keep the shade vibrant with a color-depositing conditioner.
