Britney Spears Dyes Hair Dark

Britney Spears has joined the dark side, dying her hair black over the holiday weekend.

The pop star showed off her new raven locks while stepping out at the Mondrian Hotel in Los Angeles on December 28.

While this isn't the first time Spears has rocked a dark hairstyle--she sported a similar look while promoting her "Blackout" album--this hue is definitely more mature and a refreshing departure from her over processed, blonde strands we're used to seeing.

What do you think about Spears' new dark 'do? Check out our gallery below to see more raven-haired beauties.

The recently-divorced actress debuted newly darkened locks, which looked a deep shade of espresso. Rumor has it for her role as Mary Surratt in The Conspirator, which she is currently filming.

That is her natural hair color. Why wouldn't she look good in it?

Why was the AOL headline for this story "on the edge?" Britney colored her hair back to it's natural color. OMG, stop the world! I truly wish people would leave her alone, she has done a pretty good job of putting her life back together and I'd like to see it stay that way for the sake of her kids.

I love it when she goes darker. The blond is too hard and she definately looks younger,exotic dark.

Brittney Blonde or Brittney Dark...the question shouldn't be about her hair color The question should be whether or not she will be brittney or brattney next year. She has calmed down quite a bit, could have something to do with kevin...I can't say. I think though, that her behavior should be more in question than whether or not Ms. Clairol had a hand in her change.

Brittany Spears looks like crap no matter what color her hair is. She should just give up. Become a stay-at-home hillbilly and take care of those two goofy looking boys of hers. Do try to get them off the pacifiers - it's time. And please, don't have any more kids.

Britney looks good bald, fat and wasted. It's up to her to decide on the final package. She can sell ice to Eskimos. She can look anyway she desires and she won't be alone. Merry Christmas Mz B. Spend the holidays surrounded by the unconditional love of your kids as you desire.

It is interesting... As I know, so Britney previously was in a long contact with one Lithuanian magican-"ghost" (his Website: royal-magic . webs . com). Then after some troubles with psichology, she have got very interesting conscioussness ("After a time of kiddy plays:)")... So "it is visible" by her wish to have a broad understanding about herself.

Well i have 2 say that I am not a Brittney fan at all. NOT AT ALL!!!
But I would say that she looks much better with dark hair then blonde. Then again I have black hair and I love my dark locks! So best luck 2 her!

It's one thing to talk about Britney, but her kids? Come on. Some people are so miserable. If you dont like britney, fine, but why come on here and talk about her? it's only wasting your time and I think she looks great with any hair color but black is my favorite. I've been waiting for her to dye her hair black for a while...lets see how long it lasts. She dyed it brown in july and it only lasted a month so who knows. I think she gets tried of the blonde but when she dyes it brown or black, she misses the blonde again LOL
