Jennifer Love Hewitt’s ‘Sunset Lover’ Hair Will Make You Want to Go Red-on-Red This Summer

Jennifer Love Hewitt’s new red-on-red hair transformation lives up to the hype of its name.

Trust me, nothing makes you feel more silly than asking your hair colorist for “cinnamon-cookie-butter hair” and having them stare at you dead-eyed until you pull out a photo of Hailey Bieber’s brunette bob with caramel highlights and a subtle red undertone. And yet, I still think my stylist will know just what I mean when I go in next week asking for Hewitt’s “sunset-lover red.”

Hewitt recently traded in her own blonde highlights for a dynamic auburn overhaul, debuting her red-on-red makeover on Instagram on May 8. “I have wanted to be red for so long! @nikkilee901 crushed this color,” she captioned a selfie, tagging celebrity stylist Nikki Lee. “She named my color Sunset Lover🌅.”

Based on the snap—as well as more images and video shared on Lee’s Instagram—the colorist seemed to start with an auburn base before going in with a lighter, brassy copper-toned balayage. The result is a sun-catching, vibrant color that still looks natural on the 9-1-1 star.

Of course, Lee knows her way around the various shades of red. The celebrity hairstylist recently crafted Emma Roberts’s own red-hair transformation, giving the Scream Queens actor a “sunrise red” makeover with a more vibrant ginger base and gloss.
