Well-known for her role as the red-haired Office Manager, Joan Holloway, in Mad Men, it’s hard to believe that Christina Hendricks is actually a natural blonde. On occasion, you’ll see Christina wearing a strawberry blonde hue on the red carpet before she reverts back to her famous red locks.

Another famous on-screen redhead is Sophie Turner. Any Game of Thrones fan will know Sansa Stark, (Sophie’s character), was instantly recognisable for her long auburn hair that would be styled in a mix of intricate braids and loose waves.

But we have to say, our favourite look is her hair in its au naturel state.

When a baby-faced Olivia Wilde first made it to Hollywood, she was still sporting her home-grown blonde tresses. But nowadays, she’s a fully-fledged brunette – rocking a number of brown shades, and has even worked it in ‘dos from poker-straight hair to a lovely wavy bob!

Editor’s tip: We all know that colouring can cause damage to our hair, which is why we recommend using a hair mask like the SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Hair Treatment Masque 1-2 times a week.

Spread through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, leave in for 2-3 minutes and rinse thoroughly.
