Katy Perry cracked jokes like a pro on Saturday Night Live this weekend, but it seems the singer is also becoming a pro at changing her hair color these days, too. This year alone shes gone from black to red to blonde to lavender, and now, shes switched back to blonde, debuting the look Saturday on SNL.
Perrys colorist, Rita Hazan, loves her latest look. She wanted to do something different an easy, effortless honey blonde, she tells PEOPLE. Shes having fun with her hair color now, which I love.
The star also chopped several inches off of her hair last week, rocking what Hazan calls a really edgy bob. To complement the cut, she left the ends of Perrys hair a little bit darker to give her some depth. We didnt want it too solid or boxy, she explains. She has to work something thats cool.
Though Perrys dream shade was the lavender she wore all summer, Hazan says she was ready for a change. That was high maintenance, it fades really fast, she admits. In fact, the pinky-blonde look Perry sported a week ago was just the result of her color fading. But! Hazan d oes admit that the initial change from blonde to lavender was genius. It worked with her skin tone, too.
Constant color changes can be pretty harsh on the hair, but Hazan says Perry is great about at-home conditioning treatments. I know she does them, because she always calls me and asks me to send her more product, Hazan jokes. She takes it seriously because she likes to keep her hair healthy. It doesnt just stop at the salon it has to continue at home, too, and she understands that.
While Perry is seemingly giving her hair a break and enjoying her time as a blonde, Hazan doesnt see the color lasting for too too long. I think this will stick for a few months at least, the stylist says. But shes Katy Perry she can do anything at any moment. Tell us: What do you think of Perrys latest hair hue?
