You cut and colored your hair for this role. Have you ever hesitated to do that for a movie? “No, but my colorist has! She’s like ‘Reese, can you think twice about this?’ Lorri Goddard-Clark—she’s been my colorist for so long. I met her after I dyed my hair for Walk the Line. She’s the one who transformed my hair from June Carter dark back [to blonde]. And she’s repaired my hair ever since then.”

Besides being legally blond, Reese Witherspoon has gone brunette and platinum, too. Here, Lorri Goddard-Clark, the Oscar winner’s colorist, reveals Witherspoon’s hue-morphing secrets—and how to master each of her iconic looks.

WALK THE LINE

The rich chocolate tresses that Witherspoon wore in 2004 during filming for Walk the Line are in. “Deeper, bolder color is a trend for the season,” says Goddard-Clark.

But if you’re a natural blond like Witherspoon, Goddard-Clark doesn’t recommend going the permanent route—or you could have difficulty getting back to your original pale hue. “When I first met Reese, it was right before she won an Academy Award for Walk the Line and her hair was in this ruddy state of color,” says Goddard-Clark. “Different colorists had tried to make her blond again without success.”
