Demi Lovato Is Brunette — Again!

Demi Lovato Brunette Hair X Factor

So much for that promise!

After telling Kelly Ripa that she wasn’t planning to change her blonde hair, Demi Lovato debuted a new brunette ‘do on Wednesday night’s first X Factor live show. The singer kept her bangs, which she cut this summer, and wore her hair straight and down.

“It’s coming to fall and it’s harder to maintain a healthy skin tone, and when you’re going into winter it just sucks out the color of everyone,” Lovato told reporters after Thursday night’s X Factor. “So I tend to go dark during the holidays; it’s a nice contrast. There’s one thing about being blonde and pale, but I would rather be dark and pale.”

Lovato, a natural brunette, has tried a lot of looks in the past 12 months, from pink hair and blue tips to blonde locks and a bright-red ‘do.

“She’s a chameleon — she can do anything with her hair and makeup,” her makeup artist, Jill Powell, recently told PEOPLE. “She likes to change her look a lot — it’s fantastic. She embraces new trends.”

Lovato’s new look comes as a bit of a surprise — but one we’re definitely loving. Tell us: Do you prefer Lovato as a brunette or a blonde?

I like Demi’s hair no matter what it looks like who cares if she keeps changing it. There’s always a sense of surprise with Demi that’s why she can pull of changing her hair color all the time

Lovatic4eva on

I love Demi in any hair color she has.I always really loved her as a brunette.I will always be on Team Demi no matter what she does………………she is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Brit on

I like her better as a brunette.

Eli on

The brunette is so much more flattering on her.

Samantha on

The cut is not flattering to her very round face. I think the dramatic darker color really washes her out. She looks really pale. It’s just a really “off” look for me for Demi. Not loving it.

Trish on

What’s up with that shirt? The outfit is what’s wrong with her look, not the hair.

GuesT on

What a non talent human being.

abby on

She looks better this way & more natural. Britney, on the other hand, is not aging well.

Janet on

I like Demi as a brunette – she doesn’t look like that other dim-witted blonde sitting at the judges table.

rebecca on

The colors she’s done are really huge, and you can sort of never tell whether she’ll change again. But honestly, I like her as a brunette.

rosemary on

i liked it when she had black hair circa ’09

y on

You look beautiful. You are gorgeous either way and do not let anyone tell you any differently.

Darian on

She looks better with brown hair.

bggr2w on

It’s a more natural look, but my favorite look shes sported is when she has blonde highlights with a brunette/red-ish undertone. I actually took pictures of her to my hairdresser and said “do this!!!”. I’m not feeling the bangs on her or B. Spears but I am just not a big bang fan in general.

Either way, she’s gorgeous.

Deanna on

I am glad she has fun with hair color but this medium auburn-brown color flatters her skin tone more.

Melissa on

She looks a lot better as a brunette..very pretty :)

sylvia on

I think she looks 200% better with dark hair even if it isn’t her natural color. With some of the things these young women do to their hair, I’m actually surprised that some of them still have hair.

veggie mama on

Much more natural looking as a brunette, plus who needs another blonde?! I like her personality. Sure makes up for Britney’s lack of one. Airhead Central. Demi is bubbly and positive, but nothing can make me watch xFactor! Ugh.

Sarafina on

I prefer her as a brunette; and this cut reminds me of her Camp Rock days. i like it!

phillip on

Mitchie, is that you?

deannefox on

Aw, she is so cute and I love her genuine smile, but I really loved her hair blonde it contrasted her skin and eyes well.

Jennifer on

Much better brunette … :)

Jenny! on

i like the way she looked before she got the brown. She looks very pale with that color around her face.

LaDemi on

She changed her hair cause Britney keep coplying her hair style.

fanofboardwalkempire on

love the darker hair!

OK? You do realize that dark hair is her natural color, right? EVERYONE always looks better with what they were born with. So now all of a sudden she looks washed out? She looks gorgeous with her dark natural color. Blonde? Not so much. Blonde washed her out and made her look older.

Marie on

This is the most flattering style for her. Brunette with bangs. Love it, hope she keeps it that way for a long time!

notademifan on

I like her best when she’s not on t.v.

myladyeve on

Gorgeous as a brunette!

Angela7122 on

GuesT…Look up Demi Lovato sing live on YouTube…she actually does have talent. She can sing, and sing LIVE. Unlike, BS….

holly on

I hope she keeps this color for awhile, isn’t it damaging to change your hair color so many times in one year?

brit on

brunette

dgfa on

I don’t like the big bangs and brown hair on her, she looks like she did when she was on camp rock at 15. I liked her with blonde to be honest.

leaveittogossip on

Reblogged this on Leave It To Gossip.

Sharkbait HooHaha on

BLONDE.

Rita Byal on

Don’t get me wrong, I totally love Demi, she is such an inspiration. But honestly I thought they were dressed for halloween and were wearing wigs…I like her better with light hair, but she is beautiful no matter what she does to her hair. Love you Demi

annann e maus on

Bangs too blunt, lips too red. Tone down one of the two at the very least. So glad she didn’t have that look tonight! Too harsh. She’s pretty, but the 2 don’t accentuate that.

Rita on

I like this better. Reminds me of the first Camp Rock movie lol.

lovatics on

lovatics love demi no matter what

Beh Himor on

There you are Demi. . . you look Mitchie (Camp Rock) again.. Love the old and new you! Amazing Personality. :D
