Trend Worth Trying: Brunette Hair for Fall

09/05/2006 at 06:00 AM ET

We knew that dark nails were going to be big this fall, but dark hair is sweeping Hollywood; former blondes Britney Spears (left) and Cameron Diaz (right) as well as redhead Lindsay Lohan (middle) have all switched to shades of chocolate brown. PEOPLE magazine’s Beauty Editor Elizabeth Lamonts explains, “the trend is about these celebs saying, ‘Summer is over. I’m ready for something different, darker, more daring.’ It’s about seeing all those great coats and cashmere sweaters in the stores and getting in the mood.” Now, we’ll just have to wait and see who else goes to the dark side this fall. Tell us: Will you go brunette for fall?

Hair color, is just that, color. People should continue to express themselves in all things – and hair is so easy! If you don’t like it, change it – it’s just hair.

dark hair looks good on everyone, and definately brings out the eyes. i know thats why i died my hair black!

Vivian A on September 13th, 2006

i first had highlights but know black is in, and goes perfectly w/ black nails.

Hey i love the dark look it’s something nice to see change like this one! It’s better then seeing the same old blonde! But i love it!

Looks very fake, faux if you prefer. Some people aren’t meant to have darn hair or a tan for that matter!

I like the brunette look of britney and cameron but I don’t like the lindsay’s dark hair.

I’m not 100% sure about Cameron, but we all KNOW that Britney is naturally BRUNETTE. She probably needed to give her scalp a break from all the bleach!! It’s amazing to me how many people just assume that a blonde is natural, particularly MEN, they just believe anything! Britney is a medium brunette, you can see it in her younger pictures, and you can frequently see her with stark dark roots! So many women that seem eye-catching at a first glance are just striking to people because they bleach the fire out of their hair and bake themselves in the tanning bed. It doesn’t equate to true beauty, it just catches your attention because it’s “barbie-ish”, but it’s fake and temporary. Sorry to be on a rant, but it just sickens me. The whole formula: Bleach ALL color out of your hair, wear lots of eye makeup, and tan yourself till you look like an islander and suddenly you’re “beautiful” by society’s standards. It’s so stupid, ANYONE can look like that if enough effort is put into it. Hugh Hefner’s concubines would look like normal, everyday women if you isolated them for a month and let their natural hair color grow and their fake tans fade. Ooops, and take their implants out. We are becoming so fake and plastic in America. Stupid stupid stupid.
