“Breakover” Hair

close formula

Earlier this year, when Hiddleswift (that’s Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston, in case you don’t speak millennial) was first spotted, fans immediately noticed something different about the “1989” singer (in addition to her new beau). Her blonde hair, which she dyed an edgy platinum just a few months earlier, was restored to a more natural, ashy tone. The speculation began. Was the change a breakup makeover (aka breakover) after her split from longtime love Calvin Harris? Did her return to natural have anything to do with her new BF? -KH

 

Taylor’s is just the latest in a string of rumored celebrity hair breakovers. Here’s a look at more news-making celebrity breakup transformations.

 Taylor went platinum when things got rocky between her and ex Calvin Harris, then ditched her ultra-blonde locks for a darker, more natural hue right after connecting with then BF Tom Hiddleston. Coincidence, or breakover?
