Jennifer Love Hewitt may know our next moves (read: she knows what you did last summer), but there’s no predicting hers, having recently stepped out with a vibrant orange hair colour, a shade world’s apart from her signature brunette.

Overnight in Los Angeles [14 July], the actor attended the red carpet premiere for the upcoming movie remake of I Know What You Did Last Summer, in which she reprises her original role as Julie James. For such a momentous occasion, Jennifer wore an embellished ankle-length black dress with coordinating heeled pumps and accessories.

But more noticeably, she debuted ginger hair! Gone are her brunette tresses, and in their place, she’s serving a vibrant burnt apricot hue.

Last month, Jennifer hard-launched a softer orange hair colour over on her Instagram, and now, just short of a couple of weeks later, she’s amped up the tone even more.

Thinking of making like JLH? Well, as she demonstrates with a subtle colour refresh, orange hair (and any red shade, for that matter) can be super high-maintenance. So, to prevent fading and monthly visits to the salon, we recommend investing in a colour-safe shampoo and conditioner like the Philip Kingsley Pure Colour Anti-Fade Duo.

Using a hair gloss or glaze can also help maintain the vibrancy of your hair, and these formulas tend to be more gentle on strands than permanent colour. My fave? The glaze Super Colour Conditioning Gloss in the shade Copper Crush.

Jennifer, that applies to you, too! You and your gorgeous glossy locks can thank me later…
