Hair color is a celebrity's best friend. Along with makeup, it's one of the simplest ways to transform a look. But when it comes to Hollywood hair, do you know what your favorite stars really have going on under all that hair color and/or bleach? You're about to find out.

I'm surprised a few have been dying their hair since such a young age.
1Well, I sucked at that one: 2/6. I'm surprised at how many blondes there are that dye their hair. Leighton Meester is really pretty w/brown hair. I can't imagine her blonde.
2I thought for sure Amy Adams hair was naturally red...oh well!
3Wow. I didn't get a single one correct!
4Most blondes do not keep their natural blonde color. I would hazard a guess that most of these celebs with natural blonde hair are ash blondes which tends to look dirty or gray at the roots and does not photograph well, especially under fluorescent lighting.
I'm a natural medium ash blonde and my mom had me start coloring my hair when I was in middle school. So maybe we do experiment with color earlier than others?
5I was also surprised by the amount of blondes that switch it up.
6The biggest surprise for me was Dita Von Teese - that's quite a dramatic change - Blonde to Black!
7I knew Leighton and Amy before hand, otherwise I would have never gotten those two. Whoever dyes their hair is a genuis- same for Christina and Dita. We never ever even see their roots!
8I wish more celebs would try out red hair, I think it's so unusual and distinctive. I just moved to the UK from Asia, and I'm really surprised at the attitude to red hair here. I think it's gorgeous!
9i sucked 2/6
10i though amy adam's hair was red too
I wish there pictures of the natural color included for this quiz's results because first of all I'd be interested in seeing them but also to get a reference for subjective color descriptions. I've seen pictures of Leighton before GG and I'd say blonde is a stretch, in my opinion it's light brunette like the shade when she lightened it this summer.
114/6. Leighton is always talking about her hair being naturally blonde, but I've seen it blonde before- and it doesn't look great. Brunette works much better for her. I didn't know that about Amy- I love her hair color, and that makes me sad. I hope our beloved Isla is naturally red.
12Oh, Ciris, I just read your post- I agree. Leighton's natural blonde isn't very blonde at all.
13Many surprised me!
144/6.. I've been paying attention in the magazine's I guess.
15I forgot to sign in, but the last comment was me.
16Blondes always go red it seems.
172/6. didn't know so many of them were previously blond.
18iknowitall -- I completely agree about Leighton looking dramatically better as a brunette. I wonder if she's one of those people who claims to be "blonde," but isn't actually. My hair used to be dark reddish/golden blonde, but then when I moved to a less sunny place -- and now that, thanks to my job, I probably spend 10 minutes a week outside during daylight hours -- my hair crossed into light brunette/auburn territory. It took me a while to stop referring to myself as blonde. It was completely out of habit; the mental image I had of my hair color was no longer accurate, but it had not yet registered with me. The transition was pretty amusing, though -- for a good year or two, I was a blonde, a brunette AND a redhead depending on who you asked.
Also, it could be that her concept of "blonde" happens to be really dark, or that she claims to be blonde rather than a light brunette because she thinks it's "cool" or something.
Of course, it's entirely possible that she is genuinely blonde, but that would be really strange. Blonde hair is really unflattering to her skin tone, and I have never seen someone who looks so bad (okay, bad for Leighton is still pretty good) with her natural hair color.
19instantkarma - I ran into this problem. I had natural platinum blonde hair for many years. In my early teens, the roots became very dark ashy blonde and it did not compliment my skin tone at all - people always thought I was sick and would ask how I was feeling. So I started dying it warm reds/browns. When I look at my roots - I consider them a light ashy brown, but every hair stylist I have ever talked with says they are most definitely an ashy blonde.
Dark ash blonde can be a lot darker than what most people would think was still considered a blonde. Walk the hair color aisle at a drug store and look at the dark ash blonde colors. If you're someone who has a warm skin tone (like me, I have yellow undertones), ash blonde (a cool color) is a kiss of death for your complexion!
20This amuses me that I only missed one and that so many other people are blondes that dye their hair. I just today spent 4 hours at the hair salon to get 11 years of black dye out to go back to my natural blonde (well the in the sun version.)
And yes ash blonde is the "please dye me" color. You gotta either A) spend time in the sun (which when you're a kid is not a problem and your hair turns this great great mix of platinum and gold with ash highlights) or B) go to the salon and get them put in if Mr. Sunshine doesn't fit into adult daily schedule.
And Leighton IS an ash blonde. She is a mixture of dark and light ash blonde (like me) it's a gross sickly color if you don't add highlights (via sunshine or salon) and it is a SHOCK once you hit high school and don't have time to be in the sun anymore... then you turn pale and your hair turns greyish.
But man I am now shaking my head feeling sorry for some of these peeps cuz going from really dark back to blonde is a huge major pain in the ass filled with colors you don't want in between.
Anyone out there thinking about doing that - use a temporary dye - even if you keep the color for over a year - use the damn temporary dye.
21Scarlett has brown hair. Dirty blonde? http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=mmzqxz&s=2
22The only one I knew for sure was Amy Adams...her first movie is one of my favorites - "Drop Dead Gorgeous" - and she's blonde in it. Good quiz!
23I would be curious to see Dita as a blonde...
24Hilarious! Celebrity obsession.
