Throughout her entire career, Underwood has always had bright blonde hair, but now she's going back to a more brown tone, which she claims is her natural hair color. “Well, the last time I saw my natural hair color, I was probably about 12 years old, but I thought it might be time to give it a second chance,” she wrote on Instagram. She also shared the name of her stylist and salon (@hairbykatelin_ at @parlour3beauty) for those who want to get it done themselves. Be right back, we are gonna go dye our hair “bronde” as well.

Jennifer Lopez—a.k.a. “J.Lo”—was born with dark brown, curly hair, but over the years, she has slowly begun to dye it blonder and lighter. Until now. Recently, fans began to notice that she was embracing her dark roots and instead lighting them with highlights, rather than an overall color, proving that she truly is “still Jenny from the block.”

Landman star Demi Moore might have been blonde, bald and everything in between over the course of her career, but as of late, she’s been embracing her naturally black hair by dying it back and even said that when the time comes, she will go grey as well. I look at women who have that incredible gray, especially long, and I think it's striking,” she told People magazine earlier this year. "I would definitely do it. I just don't have enough to make it interesting. Mine's like a smattering that makes my hair look murky. I didn't really start coloring my hair until I was, like, 55."

treatments such as highlights and occasionally an all-over color. Now, though, the mom of three appears to be embracing her dark hair, showcasing that sometimes it's better to return to your roots.

Unlike the rest of her sisters, Kourtney Kardashian has never tried to hide her dark brown—almost black—hair. Sure, she's cut it a lot over the years and even had a short-lived bang phase, but one thing is for sure: her hair is dark and shiny and she’s proud of it! “Having a good shampoo and conditioning regimen is a close second behind diet. It’s important to figure out the longest you can go without shampooing your hair. For some, your hair becomes greasy more quickly, so you have to wash your hair more often, but over-washing your hair can leave it looking dull,” Kardashian’s hair stylist Andrew Fitzsimons said of her look, per Poosh. “Generally, people who have shiny hair have a very healthy diet. It’s the fundamental factor of great hair and skin.”
