Red Blonde Brunette

I've always been amazed at how converting your hair colour can completely change the way you look. The right hair tone will bring out and highlight your best features, whilst the wrong shade can make you appear sallow & washed out. Then there are some who are able to wear any colour and still look sensational. These are celebrities who have been brave enough to go from red hair to blonde and brunette and back again, a few with grand success and others a little less lucky.

1. Emma Stone

Colour Chameleon Emma Stone has a creamy pale skin tone and dazzling green eyes that compliments any hair colour. This natural Buttercup Blonde is equally bewitching with Fiery Red hair and silken Chestnut Brown locks.

2. Cheryl Cole

British singer Cheryl Cole is known for her lustrous volumized locks, which has seen shades of ravishing Plum Merlot, a less natural looking Wheat Blonde and her beautiful naturally dark Mahogany Brown hair.

3. Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence wowed us with her wavy Baywatch Blonde hair and since then, this award winning actress has tinted her tresses a Ginger Spiced Red and also went to the dark side with Sable shaded locks. I think the black hue gives her a sallow appearance. She look most distinctive as a blonde.

4. Emily Blunt

Emily Blunt stole the spotlight in The Devil Wears Prada with her Vibrant Auburn locks. But this natural Cocoa Coloured Brunette also finds it easy to wear Macadamian Blonde, all in her signature bob hairstyle.

5. Ashley Greene

Twilight alumni Ashley Greene dyed her hair in a synthetic shade of Cherry Swirl before going Golden Blonde. But I find that her natural Chocolate Brown hair suits her best.

6. Kate Bosworth

Kate Bosworth recently dyed her hair in a shade of Strawberry for a movie role, but this beautiful actress is at her best in Platinum and Pearl Blonde. The darker Mocha tinted hair hue completely washes her out.

7. Cameron Diaz

Gentlemen may prefer blondes, but that didn't stop Cameron Diaz from dyeing her Sun Kissed tresses into a Rusted Cinnamon Red and then even darker in a Walnut Brown. Eventhough the sultry brunette hair makes her blue eyes pop, I prefer Cameron with lighter locks.

8. Brittany Snow

Pitch Perfect's Brittany Snow has dramatically coloured her hair from the lightest Flaxen Blonde to a Toasted Red Toffee and Intense Umber Brown. They all suit her to some extent but I like Brittany's red hair.

9. Olivia Wilde

With exquisite steel blue almond-shaped eyes, a dewy complexion and the perfect jawline, Olivia Wilde sets the ideal canvas to wear any hair colour. She has been a Dark Coppery Redhead, an Almond Blonde and a Truffle Brown Brunette. I think that each shade brings out a different side to her beauty.

10. Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson has always been turning heads, no matter what her hair shade. The stunning star has experimented with Flame Red, Luminous Amber Blonde and Velvety Dark Brown. She can pull of any shade but blonde will always be the colour she is known for.

11. Nicole Richie

We first met the Reality Star as a bottle blonde on The Simple Life, but since then, Nicole Richie has refined her style along with her hair colour. She has went from Tea Soaked Red to Vanilla Blonde and a luscious Cola Brown. I prefer her as a brunette, as it highlights her light brown eyes and café au lait skin tone.

12. Angelina Jolie

With her spellbinding looks, Angelina Jolie could ideally carry off most hues. The actress began her career as Brunette, then tried on a glorious Burnt Sienna Red, then went Sandy Blonde for her role in the movie Salt. I'm not sold on the blonde, but think she's stunning in darker shades.

13. Ashlee Simpson

Ashlee Simpson is one of those lucky girls who can dye her hair any shade and it still looks striking and authentic. She has went from being a natural Buttered Toast Blonde to turning her hair Expresso Brown and a Vivid Cayenne Red. I think she looks great in every shade, but I love the red on her.

14.  Rachel McAdams

We first noticed Rachel McAdams as a platinum blonde in Mean Girls and since then the Canadian actress has dyed her hair a vivacious Copper red, Champagne Blonde and Coffee Bean Brown, all for movie roles. I think blonde looks best on her, although she carries off the other colours beautifully.
