Copper
Pre-chop, Miranda Kerr rocked a longer length that was complemented by chic shades of copper -- and we can't stop staring.

Light Contrast
Ashley Madekwe proves that contrast can be subtle and statement-making. This light brown hair color is perfect for those who aren't looking for a super dramatic change.

Russet Brown
Another member of the recently-blonde camp, we have major love for Ashley Benson's fearlessness when it comes to changing up her tresses -- (ICYMI the actress is now rocking a blonde, rose-tinged bob.) However, this reddish-brown look circa 2016 has our heart all a flutter.

Sun-Kissed Streaks
When our forever girl crush Kerry Washington arrived at this year's Golden Globes, we couldn't' look away. The reason? Those strategically placed streaks. Hint: With this particular look less is definitely more. Avoid reliving the early 2000's zebra-stripe phase (we're forever haunted) with just a handful of high-impact highlights. Kerry gets it right with the perfect light-to-dark ratio.

High-Contrast
Transitioning brunette to blonde is no easy feat. Laverne Cox demonstrates high-contrast color done right. However, if you're hitting refresh on your current hue and going a few (or ten) shades lighter, make sure you have all the right products in your arsenal. Matrix Total Results Color Obsessed Shampoo, $22, and Conditioner are Papanikolas's non-negotiables when it comes to keeping colored hair bright (not brassy).
