We can’t remember a time when Bella Hadid wasn’t a brunette but in actual fact she was born a beach blonde like her famous sister Gigi. Clearly, the supermodel missed her childhood hue as a recent visit to the hairdressers has taken her back to her roots and has also crowned her our summer hair inspo.

In Bella’s throwback Instagram pictures you can hardly tell the two sisters apart which makes them almost look like twins. But as Bella hit her teens, she decided to go down the darker route and become a striking brunette which has become her signature look.

If you’re extremely observant, you will have noticed the 22-year-old's hair slowly getting lighter and lighter over the last couple of weeks, working her way from an almost jet black shade, through caramel curls and, most recently, taking to Instagram over the weekend to debut (what we think) is the final result - a golden blonde not dissimilar to sister Gigi's hair colour.

As most of us know, the path to blonde hair is not a quick one but Bella has nailed the perfect effortless surfer blonde shade and managed to keep her hair looking long and healthy at the same time. It’s a hair miracle!

Whilst we’re not sure how long the sun-kissed tone will stay, we can confirm that Bella is clearly blessed enough to suit being both a blonde and a brunette and we can’t wait to see what shade she goes for next. Platinum? Icy pink? The possibilities are endless.
