    Emma Roberts has been a blonde for a surprisingly long time. The actress has been known to treat hair colors like her flavor of week—dating a shade for a bit, then off to the next. She's even experimented with millennial pink. But she's stuck with her honey blonde bob for most of 2018, which says a lot. But everyone, celebs included, is still feeling the "new year, new hair" memo: Roberts just switched up the shade of her blonde, blunt bob to a deep brunette.

    And HELLO to this new hair. Roberts looks amazing.

    Roberts captioned the pic: "Back to basics."

    "Not many can do it, but no matter what color change we make...Emma looks stunning every time 😍 Classic Brunette," she wrote on her caption, along with a list of Joico color products she used to nail this shade.
