Behind Britney Spears Brunette Transformation

The New York Post chatted with Britney Spears’ hairstylist Kevin Mancuso after the singer transformed her color from blonde to brunette. “We’d been talking about making a big change, both in cut and color,” he said. “We decided the whole idea would be to give it a jagged edge, both hard and beautiful at the same time.” Lauren Solomon, a New York image consultant, says Spears’ new hair color is a bid for attention. “We have not heard much about her recently and she had to do something to get her back in the spotlight. A new, dark sultry look instead of the blond flighty look is going to get a whole new message in the media,” she says.
