The Blonde-to-Brunette Hair Makeover

TotalBeauty.com reader Kim gets her first beauty overhaul in 20 years -- would her new look suit you?

January 10, 2011 | by Nadine Haobsh | 52 COMMENTS

The cut

Because Kim cuts her own hair, the shape is uneven. Stylist Ferrell cuts several inches, explaining, "She has great hair for a bob -- fine with a little curl." Adding that he cut fuller bangs for a more versatile style. After blow-drying Kim's hair straight, Ferrell spritzes volumizing spray on roots and uses smoothing cream on her ends. To set the sleek look, he mists hair with light-hold hairspray. Try Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Solutions Touchable Volume Hairspray, $3.39.

Anna was the most dramatic makeover she is my favorite, so hip and classy.

looked younger before..

I agree she looks younger before.

by indigojacqui Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 07:30AM Report as inappropriate

She looks younger before to me. The hair color is too harsh.

by Doverman Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 05:53AM Report as inappropriate

The after definitely makes her look younger. She looks very natural and almost like she had a mini face lift! Very nice - she looks happy.

Very nice. Very natural.

very nice

by amanda_michelle_sullivan Tuesday, March 22, 2011 at 07:15PM Report as inappropriate

she most definitely does not look younger at all. now she looks like a grandma before she looked younger but super frumpy they should have kept a blonder look and ditched the matronly blah lip gloss color.

nice :)

Amazing......so much younger looking. You go girl

by PKG988 Sunday, March 13, 2011 at 04:26PM Report as inappropriate

She looks younger before. Maybe it's the angle of the shot.

by SubCulture Saturday, March 12, 2011 at 06:22AM Report as inappropriate

She looks tons younger! and quite obviously happier. It's like they tell them not to smile for the "before" shots.

by carly_cowher Monday, March 7, 2011 at 07:07PM Report as inappropriate

I love it! I think she looks beautiful & younger! She looks alive !

by jenn_fer16 Saturday, March 5, 2011 at 07:22PM Report as inappropriate

The darker hair color makes her eyes pop I think.

by ArmenianGal Monday, February 28, 2011 at 10:21PM Report as inappropriate

I think her make up looks fantastic but I do not like the color of her hair so much. I guess blondes do have more fun!

by pynkNymphette Monday, February 28, 2011 at 06:00PM Report as inappropriate

i think she needs a more aubaurn red color with honey highlights and more layers. it needs to be more choppy

by aly7 Wednesday, January 19, 2011 at 01:11PM Report as inappropriate

Hair cut is good, but I think It needs to have more of a layered effect at crown to give her hair a little height. The heavy bangs make her look older. She could really use some highlights. This hair looks more like she should be wearing a business suit all the time.

by diane_osment_graham Tuesday, January 18, 2011 at 06:25PM Report as inappropriate

Her new look looks awesome..She looks so much better now.:)

by NBgIRL40 Tuesday, January 18, 2011 at 11:31AM Report as inappropriate

I am really sorry to say this, but the new cut and color do her no justice. The make-up is great, but maybe if she went a few shades lighter or had more highlights in her hair (strawberry blond, maybe?)

by Isis04 Monday, January 17, 2011 at 06:16PM Report as inappropriate

Her hair before was better.

by iamlove Friday, January 14, 2011 at 10:37AM Report as inappropriate

I so need a makeover, I looke so much older than I really am! Help!

by shannon75 Thursday, January 13, 2011 at 05:44PM Report as inappropriate

They should have just given her the makeup and put a shine in her blonde hair and she would have looked a lot better and younger. Brown hair as this tends to pull the face down and hides her other attributes.....

by oopsagreyhair Friday, June 12, 2009 at 04:02AM Report as inappropriate

I liked her before look

by sburette Thursday, June 11, 2009 at 09:30PM Report as inappropriate

SHE LOOKS MUCH OLDER.......BRING BAVK THE BLOND

by lesliecarole Saturday, March 14, 2009 at 01:01AM Report as inappropriate

She appeared much fresher and noticeable.

by arsouth_belle Friday, March 13, 2009 at 05:24PM Report as inappropriate

Maybe it's me but I think she looked younger in the before shot.

by Majick Tuesday, March 10, 2009 at 08:31PM Report as inappropriate

She looks good with her hair brown,but I think she looked younger with it blonde

by butterflyfree Tuesday, March 10, 2009 at 12:44PM Report as inappropriate

my question is can you do that for me? :D

by LoriThomas Tuesday, March 10, 2009 at 11:13AM Report as inappropriate

i think she looks great. i wish i could trust someone to do that for me

by norma60 Tuesday, March 10, 2009 at 08:57AM Report as inappropriate

Wow. She looks wonderful. Great job.

by phylis1234 Thursday, February 19, 2009 at 09:57AM Report as inappropriate

The "after" photo makes her look a lot fresher, and her hair looks healthy

by Meilily Tuesday, January 27, 2009 at 02:18PM Report as inappropriate

I dont know why but i liked her messy natural blondie hair with that lovely wave all along. But her make up is really great! Make her pretty face really pop up!

by twelverainbow Tuesday, January 27, 2009 at 09:36AM Report as inappropriate

Wow! She looks sooo nice with this new look.

by bigbubbles Wednesday, January 21, 2009 at 05:23PM Report as inappropriate

I liked her hair before better... but i like her makeup now

by kiwigurl23 Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 08:58AM Report as inappropriate

the makup is what really makes her look younger in my opinion. the hair is okay but i always find lighter hair tones more youthful so i'm not convinced going brunette was the right thing.
