Photos of Famous Brunettes

Katie Holmes is one of those rare people who just looks best with short hair. Her hair color is gorgeous (she's sometimes lighter than this) and the shape suits her face.

To get this look:

If you have a round face, you can get this cut, but make sure you get a longer-version of it. Short hair only accentuates a round face.

Ask for this cut to be shorter in back, angled forward so it highlights your jawline. A few long, side-swept bangs will cover a high forehead.

If you have curly or super wavy hair, realize that you'll be straightening your hair every day to keep this style. This cut works best on women with straight hair.
