Blonde Ambition

Rihanna started sporting blonde high-lights this past Summer.

Here she’s pictured sporting a lighter version of blonde streaks in her side swept bangs.

Rihanna’s cutting edge style was amplified by her sharp hair cut with her honey blonde high lights.

Rihanna continued to go blonde and rocking out in this black and white outfit. The red accessories and lips stick add to the drama to her retro ’80s look.

At the Paris Shows, Rihanna wore her hair swept to the side showing off her blonde streaked hair with dramatic sunglasses and purple lipstick.

Here Rihanna pulls her streaked hair up into a funky pompadour ’do which works perfectly with her fierce look.

Rihanna’s sharp cut matches her cut-out Jean Paul Gaulltier out fit—classic with a lot of edge.

Here we can see the beginnings of her honey blonde hair color with the introduction of a long colored streak along with her shaved edges.

And now she’s a blond! Rihanna’s hairstylist Ursula Stephen described the coloring process as “hard work and dedication.”
“Rihanna was determined to be a blonde! I’ve been coloring her hair black for at least 2-3 years, so I had to strip the black,” Stephen said. “After two separate processes we finally got the color we wanted.”

To maintain Rihanna’s blonde, Stephen said she starts with a color-preserving conditioner to maximize color retention.
“Afterwards, I follow with the Motions Foaming Wrap Lotion-Regular Hold ($5, drugstores nationwide) as it gives the hair a soft flexible hold,” she said.
