Although the colder weather and the holiday season may herald the arrival of warm caramel highlights and darker tones, it seems that various takes on blond are once again en vogue. Among the celebrity set, freshly lightened tones are making an impact this season. Most recently, Selena Gomez has swapped her usually dark tresses for bright platinum locks instead. The light blond colour, shaggy texture and long bob length complete the 25-year-old singer’s new look. While we may be more used to seeing Gomez with her signature raven hair, it seems that this brunette has switched over to the light side.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga also stepped out in November with her usually straight mane worn in wild corkscrew curls. The diva’s look for the American Music Awards featured golden ringlets, which were a far cry from her usual Barbie-like strands and sleek fringe.

Would you go platinum like Gomez, or rock 1980s style curls just like Gaga? While these extreme hair transformations may not be for everyone, these two Hollywood beauties manage to pull these experimental styles off with ease.
