Believe It or Not, Rachel Brosnahan's Natural Hair Color Isn't Brown — It's Blond

Rachel Brosnahan has a signature beauty look on her hit show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel that includes a red lip (thanks to the Ilia Color Block High Impact Lipstick ($28)) and short, deep brown hair. Though it looks like her natural hair color, the actress told POPSUGAR that she wasn't actually born a brunette.

"I'm naturally blond," Brosnahan said. "I started dyeing my hair really dark when I was 16, and then I waited almost 10 years before I went back to blond."

Brosnahan went back and forth between brown and blond throughout the years — and even had red hair in 2015 — but admits that she has a color preference: "Even though I'm a natural blonde — and normally I'm a huge advocate for being exactly who you are — but I really feel more myself with dark hair," she said. "I always have. I don't know why. I like them both, but when I look in the mirror with dark hair, I feel like I see myself, and when I look in the mirror with blond hair, I see a fun but slightly different version of myself."
