Winona Ryder's look has changed so much over the years, it's hard to decipher what her natural hair color is. In 1990's Edward Scissorhands, she was a strawberry blond, while in other movies like Mr. Deeds, she was an even lighter color. The hue she's most known for, however, is a dark chocolate brown shade that she just revealed is her natural color.
In a video with Wired, the actress explained that although she did have lighter hair, it darkened to the color it is now over time. "It's brown, but I was really blond as a kid," she said to her Stranger Things costar David Harbour. This fact might explain why a large range of hair colors suit the star.
