The most surprising celebrity natural hair colours, revealed
Celebrities are constantly changing their hair. It seems like every few days, another one hits Instagram with a new cut, texture, or even a full-blown wig. Another way the stars love to freshen up or completely change their look is with a new hair colour, whether it's for a role or just for fun. Trips to the colourist happen so often among the rich and famous that many of us don't even know what some of our favorite celebrities' natural hair colours actually look like.
So it shouldn't come as a shock to find out that many of the celebrities that are known as brunettes today were born blonde and vice-versa — and some blonde and brunette stars are even natural redheads. Isn't that crazy? I bet you didn't know that while Reese Witherspoon may be legally blonde, she isn't a natural blonde or that before she became known for her highlighted ponytail, Ariana Grande's true shade was a much darker chocolate brown.
Because we know you're curious, let's take a look at a few celebrities whose famous dye jobs have all but made us forget their natural hair colour. And hey, maybe their looks might actually inspire you to dye your hair...

Actor and Honest Beauty mogul Jessica Alba's natural hair colour is much darker than what we typically see. She's lightened up her hair over the years, and today, she's wearing it with the most perfect brown-to-blonde ombré. Her true colour is a chocolate-brown hue, which is trending today as chocolate cake hair.

Miley Cyrus has experimented with quite a few different cuts over the years but has mainly worn various shades of blonde. But just like when she played her breakout role of Hannah Montana, Cyrus's natural hair colour is a beautiful brown with hints of caramel. She's stuck with the blonde for quite some time since then, which makes us wonder: Did all those years wearing the blonde Hannah Montana wig inspire the change?
Getty ImagesReese Witherspoon
Prepare to be shocked: Reese Witherspoon is not really legally blonde. The actress shared this adorable throwback of herself revealing that she was born with a light-brown colour. We don't see Witherspoon going back to her roots anytime in the near future, but if she does, we'd be into it.
Getty ImagesJennifer Aniston
For as long as we can remember, Jennifer Aniston's been dirty blonde, but it turns out, she was born a brunette bombshell. Dark hair or light, we can all agree that the actor looks gorgeous with hair in both hues.
Getty ImagesAriana Grande
When it comes to Ariana Grande's hair, the one thing we can always count on is it being in a ponytail. Over the years, she's worn it in an array of shades, including including silver, light brown, and even lavender. Today, she wears it straight, in a medium shade of brown, but her natural colour is actually this deep, nearly black dark brown, with curls for days.
Getty ImagesHalle Berry
Halle Berry has been wearing her hair lighter with a lot more length than she did back in the day. But we will never forget the actress's most iconic look: a textured, tousled pixie in a deep shade of almost-black. And really, the hair colour and makeup are the only things that indicate these photos were taken years apart, because other than that, Berry looks exactly the same.
Getty ImagesBella Thorne
Bella Thorne has probably dyed her hair every colour of the rainbow at this point in her young life, which would explain why most people don't know that her natural color is actually blonde. The actress shared this baby photo of herself a while ago to prove it — and how freakin' cute was she?
