Do or Don’t: Julia Roberts’s Pink Streaks

When I first saw this shot of Julia Roberts, I thought the baby pink locks in her hair were just a case of weird lighting. But then I saw an interview she did with Access Hollywood where she said she decided to add a cotton-candy section to the back of her locks at her daughter Hazel’s suggestion. I know we’ve been ragging on a few celebrities lately for going for cuckoo streak choices (check out our story on celebrity dye disasters to see), but I don’t know…I kind of like Julia’s pop of pink—

it actually reminds me (on a subtler scale) of the one bright streak that women were getting for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I’m into it! And in general, I think Julia is showcasing how cool, unexpected streaks should be done (unless they’re meant to draw attention a good cause, that is): Soft and on the underside of the hair. That way you’re guaranteed that they’ll stay pretty as opposed to stripy. On the other hand, let’s take a look at bad-streak victim Rachel McAdams:

Her on-top streaks from a couple of years ago were just too cartoonish for me. Luckily, Rachel moved on from that hair phase quickly!

What do you think: Do you like Julia’s pink streaks? Surprised the Oscar-winner went for them? Think it’s sweet she did it for her daughter? Wish she had skipped it? Think Rachel’s hair is actually cuter than Julia’s?
