Trying out a new and experimental hairstyle is always a thrill, and these 5 celebrities have spoken on their own personal experiences when it comes to changing their hairstyle or dyeing it a new crazy colour. Enjoying the whole process and constantly looking to change their style or reflect their mood with a new hue in their locks or an edgy new cut, these stars have opened up on changing up their hairstyles and expressing their fashion sense with an experimental hair look.
Katy has been experimenting with her hair since her teenage years: “I’ve been dyeing my hair back since I was 15. The whole reason I’ve been dying my hair black, actually, was because when I was 15, I chopped it all off. I had it bleached blonde, like Madonna in Who’s That Girl and it just didn’t look right, so I bought a box of color and went black, and never went back.”
- Kelly Osbourne
Speaking on dyeing her hair grey, Kelly says she loves switching up her look: “It’s something I’ve wanted to do my whole life. I’ve always wanted to be young and have grey hair. To me, I’m 27, I’ve got three years left, the way I look at it, to have fun with it, because once you’re 30, you look like a right idiot walking around with like rainbow, bright color hair and all different things like that.”
Kylie added blue to her hair recently and said that she wants to try new things while she’s young, even though her family didn’t like it: “One day I was just like, ‘I’m going blue. They’re all really pi**ed. My mom was like, ‘You look like a Skittle.’ I was like, ‘I’m gonna have this for two years now that you said that.’”
- Naomi Watts
Naomi enjoys experimenting with her hair for roles because she loves the whole experience: ”Changing my hair for roles is liberating, even if it’s not always a look I’d go for. Dying you hair is like getting tattoos – once you start you won’t stop. I started in my twenties, but all the travelling I do makes it tricky, as I don’t always see the same persona and blonde is a difficult colour to get right.”
- Nicole Richie
Nicole thinks hair is fun to change and she loves experimenting: “My attitude with beauty and hair is that it’s temporary: you can always change it. It’s how I feel about fashion as a whole. It’s fun to see Andy [hairstylist] and experiment and do it for over 10 years. Danny [hair colourist] is also great and crazy-looking; his hair is like a clown’s with so many colors. Danny colors Joel’s hair, too. He also gave my son a mohawk and gives my daughter hair chalk to play with.”
