LOS ANGELES, Dec 24 — If there was one overarching celebrity hair trend of 2017, it was surely the number of stars that opted to go blonde. We take a look at five of the biggest showbiz names that crossed over to the light side this year.

Popstar Katy Perry first began teasing blonde tresses early on this year, but she fully committed in April, when she unveiled a peroxide pixie cut that completely transformed her look. She has spent the better part of the year ever since rocking variations on the style and tone, from a white-blonde buzz cut to a choppy, darker crop.
