It’s important to have a consultation with a colorist and assess your hair’s individual needs in order to avoid any disasters. Going from brunette to blonde is no easy feat, even for someone like Gigi Hadid who has a team of experts to help her achieve any look. She’s also seen hanging off of scaffolding in a monochromatic bright red ensemble, so whatever it is, the final result is sure to be stunning.

The model’s hair was styled by celebrity hairstylist Panos Papandrianos and her soft, natural makeup was done by Erin Parsons using Maybelline, a brand with which the model has held an ambassadorship for several not clear exactly what Hadid’s glam look is for, but New York City-based creative agency Gotham shared a BTS video via Instagram stories of the model shooting a campaign on a rooftop, her new blonde hair in a long, dramatic braid. The fresh shade of blonde is certainly lighter than her signature sandy color, giving Hadid a super summery vibe even in the dead of winter.
