Nicole Richie Unveils New Short Haircut on Her Blog

Nicole Richie Short Haircut

From blonde to brunette to blonde again. Nicole Richie is back to her signature short and light locks.

The former "Simple Life" reality star unveiled her latest look on her blog last night, calling it "makeover madness." No doubt, the 28-year-old fashion designer has run the gamut of hairstyles, but we are partial to this shorter cut with loose, wavy layers and side-swept bangs.

And even though Richie said she was "ready for a change" when she dyed her locks a sultry brown eight months ago, we are thinking that motherhood, stardom, and an impending walk down the aisle can cause any gal to want to lighten up a bit.

The mastermind behind the cut was her friend and celebrity hairstylist Andy Lecompte and the color was done by George Papanikolas.

After her makeover, Richie did what any star would do: play "Clueless". "Andy and George played Cher & Dionne, and I played Tai," she blogged. Then this morning she tweeted, "I've already done 2 dance routines, played DJ Lance Says & played freeze tag."

Maybe this is how blondes have more fun in Hollywood?

What do you think about Nicole's new look? Leave a comment here and then check out this star who just switched from blonde to red!

Personally I am a fan of this look on Nicole Richie! As many times as she dyed and cut her hair I am personally glad that she went back to her roots.

You sorry butts are the lowest pieces of human flotsam and jetsam I've ever encountered. Wasting your worthless lives fantasizing over the egg-shell life of a certified dumbbell who's accomplished nothing in her godless existence. What brainless sponges you are.

I think her "roots" would be dark...literally & figuratively.

I've always thought Nicole Richie was way more fashionable, personable and smarter than Paris Hilton! Paris always seems to have the same "do" going on, while
Nicole has been the girl that always like to try different colors, different types of
fashion, etc... I prefer blonde hair on Nicole, rather than her signature brown locks..

I have always liked her, I think she has a 'good heart'. I wish we'd starting seeing some of her professional abilities instead of a new hair do thing going on...she's suppose to be a really good and professional musician, I wonder why we don't see her doing that? At least start out doing 'something' with good ole Dad and go from there. I'm anxiously waiting Nicole.

Short hair is sexy now. Cut off those fried extensions and go short and sassy!

These celebrities get hair extensions. I just don.t see how she had hair this length a year ago and then it is way down her back. She is lucky she has the means to change up her look whenevr she wants. I think she is pretty either way but I think the dark locks make her look more exotic.

it looks good on her. she is a beautiful women. now why do you haters have to come on here putting her down, if you don't like her just don't read stuff about her, people that make nasty comments about her more then likely have some type of jealousy about her.. leave the girl alone .. like they say, if you got nothing nice to say, keep your mouth shut!

I would love to see her hair even shorter, maybe two colors, blonde and brown and maybe a little longer than a pixie cut. she is very pretty but kind of downplays her strong points: huge beautiful eyes and a lovely, sweet smile... maybe a tad of some lipstick?

You did your job, Nicole, now come on back and get into being fashionable. Mommy time is over.
