Drew Barrymore Shocks Audience With Drastic Hair Makeover
Drew Barrymore has rocked all kinds of hairstyles and colors over the years. She famously had bleached-blonde short hair in the 1990s. But on her daytime talk show, she wears her brown hair long. Until now. The show’s official Instagram shared a clip of the host welcoming her friend and fellow actress, Valerie Bertinelli, for a hair makeover.
With the help of hair stylist to the stars Chris Appleton, Drew Barrymore followed her friend’s drastic hair makeover with one of her own. Valerie Bertinelli walked onto the set with flowing gray hair. Drew Barrymore agreed to a makeover of her own.

But rather than dye their hair grey, the makeover involved wigs. Schwarzkopf Global Color Ambassador Chris Appleton has worked with high-profile stars like Kim Kardashian. He used his talents to turn Drew Barrymore and Bertinelli into silver bombshells.
