Celebrities who don’t show their natural hair may do so for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, they’re playing a character in a TV show or movie who is written to have a different hair color or style than what they were born with. Other times, stylists have encouraged them to try particular look that just stuck.

But whatever the reason is, we love it when stars of all shapes, sizes, and races decide to reveal their real hair to the world. Whether it’s showing off their true hair color, texture, or style, it’s always worth cheering them on for doing so–especially in a place like Hollywood, which too often seems to tell women they should all look the same. Let’s celebrate our differences together, shall we?
