Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt has once again surprised fans with a dramatic hair transformation—this time trading her signature brunette locks for a vibrant copper-red shade.
On Thursday, May 9, the 9-1-1 star revealed her new look on Instagram, sharing a glowing selfie with her freshly dyed hair. “I have wanted to be red for so long!” she wrote, tagging celebrity colorist Nikki Lee of 901 Salon. “She named my color Sunset Lover.”
Lee also posted a behind-the-scenes look at the makeover, including a before photo of Hewitt’s shoulder-length brown hair with blonde highlights, a clip of the color being mixed, and close-up shots of the final result. The new hue is paired with added length, thanks to extensions by Great Lengths.
Fans and friends flooded the comments with praise for the warm, coppery shade. Actress Lacey Chabert called the transformation “stunning.” Another follower wrote, “That’s such a good color on you and it really brings out your eyes,” while one fan hinted they might try the look too, saying, “I guess I’ll have to match.”
This bold shift comes almost exactly two years after Hewitt surprised fans by going blonde—a move that also received wide acclaim. With her latest transformation, she once again proves that she can pull off just about any look.
