Are The Top 20 Sexiest Redheads In Hollywood Real Or Fake?

True or False? "Red hair was my calling card!" Julianne Moore is one of the few natural redheads in Hollywood. When she first began her career, it was what set her apart from everyone else. "I had to dye it blonde years ago for a role. It felt so weird and I couldn't wait to go back to my regular shade," the actress told New Beauty. We're also glad that she went back to her natural hue, as she looks stunning as one of Hollywood's original beautiful redheads.

Julianne usually sports a rich auburn shade with bronze highlights throughout. While the actress only dyes her hair to cover grays you can use the same products she does to protect her hair from damage from flatirons. Julianne uses Kérastase Elixir Ultime oil ($50 Keratas-usa.com) and L'Oréal's Color Vibrancy Dual Protect Spray ($15 Amazon.com).

True or False? "Every time I've done something to my hair it's for a role," Kate Mara revealed to E! News. The House of Cards actress might be a hair chameleon sporting platinum or chestnut shades, but she's a natural redhead with the color that she wears on the show as Zoe Barnes being her natural hair color.

True or False? It's hard to imagine Debra Messing as a brunette. Spoiler alert, she is naturally a brunette. The Will & Grace actress dyed her hair for the show Ned & Stacey (pre-Will & Grace) to channel the famous comedic actress Lucille Ball. It worked for Debra as being a redhead somehow makes her appear funnier.

Debra visits celebrity hair colorist Rona O'Connor for touch-ups every few weeks. In between appointments Debra makes sure that she protects her hair with conditioners. She prefers Kératase Hair Mask ($30 Amazon.com) to maintain her hair health and Davines leave-in sprays ($25 Jet.com) when she's working 12-hour days on set.

 

True or False? Nicole Kidman is one of Hollywood's few natural redheads. Although, the actress likes to experiment with her looks—she ditched her Australian beach babe curls for a sleek blonde style in the early 2000s.

Although, it's when she steps out in her natural strawberry blonde shade the she looks like the original Australian stunner who took Hollywood by storm in the '90s.

True or False? With her quirky film roles such as Wedding Crashers, Isla has proven that she's a funny lady. Her ginger locks are a God-given gift that suits her hilarious personality well.

Technically, Isla rocks a strawberry blonde hue that is described by professional stylists as a being a "golden-copper." JOICO's brand ambassador George Papanikolas spilled the beans about how to ensure that you look good with the same ginger shade to Cosmopolitan. "Strawberry blondes work best on pale and fair skin tones." To maintain the shimmering hue he recommended using products designed to repair the hair such as JOICO K-Pak RevitaLuxe ($12 Amazon.com) and the Color Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner ($30 Amazon.com) to reduce fading.

 

True or False? "In terms of having red hair, I always had a belief it would benefit me in the long run." Doctor Who star Karen Gillan grew up being teased for her height and wild hair. Yet, the 5'11 stunner found a way to put her looks to good use. The Scottish actress began landing roles in blockbusters such as Guardians of the Galaxy and Jumanji and she was a  redhead for both roles. Technically in Guardians of the Galaxy Karen plays a blue-colored alien assassin who sports a close-shaven GI-Jane hairstyle, but at least Karen sported her natural color on the red carpet.

True or False? Bryce Dallas Howard is a natural redhead. That doesn't stop her from making her color even more vibrant with regular trips to colorist Tracey Cunningham.

Next, to pump up the shine, the colorist used a yellow/orange demi-permanent gloss form the Redken Shades EQ collection.

True or False? It's all fake! Emma Stone might like to play around as a redhead, but she's a natural blonde. It's just that the actress likes red hair best, ever since she first became a snarky redhead for the film Superbad. At the launch of Revlon's new mascara Lash Potion, Emma spoke about her hair. "I identify most with red hair. My mom’s a redhead, so maybe I grew up seeing it more than seeing myself in a mirror."

Emma regularly sports a shimmering copper shade. Try Clairol Natural Instincts Golden Shimmer Hair Color, Golden Sienna ($8 Amazon.com) to achieve her signature red shade.

True or False? "I think I will definitely stay a redhead. Red seems to really fit my skin tone and I like to be a bit unusual." Eleanor Tomlinson looks like she was born to be a redhead, but the natural blonde revealed to The Telegraph that her famous red locks are actually dyed. It paid off as it makes her stand out in a sea of brunettes and blondes on the show Poldark. The 18th-century drama is a BBC cult favorite where Eleanor plays a beautiful redhead with an untamable streak.

True or False? Jessica Chastain might look like she spends hours perfecting her ginger locks, yet the actress actually refuses to dye her hair. "As a child, I didn’t like it [her hair color] because it made me different. As I got older and more comfortable, it became a badge of honor." So, when it comes her color, what you see is what you get. The Academy Award-nominated actress said that instead of altering her natural red hair, she prefers to use wigs to transform.

True or False? Sophie Turner is known for her striking red locks. Yet, don't be fooled, she is simply just another actress who has got hooked on having fiery red hair. The British actress ditched her natural blondness to play Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones. Yet, she has gone back to her natural blonde hair in-between shooting GOT for other roles.

To keep her locks looking vibrant and shiny, Sophie uses Wellaplex No 3 Hair Stabilizer. "I use it to restore the health of my hair and prepare it for my next transformation." She also uses Wella EIMI Perfect Me hair balm ($19.50 Ulta.com) to slick onto her hair whenever she needs a little more shine.

True or False? She may have entered into our lives as a wisecracking redhead on That 70s Show, but Laura Prepon has played blondes and most recently a sultry brunette on Orange Is The New Black. The 5'10 actress is a natural stunner with whatever hair color she chooses. So, it can be hard to tell just what Laura's natural shade is. Yet, it turns out that this lady is a naturally beautiful redhead.

True or False? It's hard to pinpoint exactly what Evan Rachel Wood's natural color is as the actress has been every color under the sun.

It was like a really dark red with this really bright red kind of sheen over. It was awesome." Just goes to prove that beautiful redheads might actually be the ones having more fun!

True or False? Legend has it that Luc Besson saw Natalya Rudakova walk across the street and seconds later cast her as the femme fatale in Transporter 3. Not only did he give her a leading role in one of the biggest action film franchises, but the French director also paid for her to take six-months of acting lessons in Paris before filming. Standing at 5'9 and with a headful of flaming red hair, Natalya is stunning. So, it's easy to see why she would be singled out amongst dozens of women in New York City to star alongside Jason Statham. Her natural hair color is a rarity just like her heavily freckled skin, which is even rarer among the sea of fake gingers posing in Hollywood.

True or False? Her hair color might be fake, but the vibrant hue suits Debra Ann Woll perfectly. The former vampire on True Blood began dying her hair in high school after falling in love with the silver screen siren Rita Hayworth.

Even if it isn't her natural color, she still makes it look amazing.

True or False? With headlines like "Redhead on the Rise," you might think that Ellie Bamber's strawberry waves are natural.

It goes with my personality—fiery and it's kind of quirky like me," the actress told Vogue.

True or False? "The red hair suited my personality. I was a terrible blonde. The minute I went red, it was quirky and fun instead of flirtatious and dumb," Amy Adams spoke about her decision to dye her hair for the sake of her career at a New York Times Talk. As a five-time Academy Award nominee, it's interesting to think that all it took was a dye job to unearth Amy's potential as an actress. Her switch to red began for her role as a Disney princess in Enchanted. She has since been given the opportunity to play a nun, a con artist, a linguist and even Amelia Earhart.

True or False? The Mad Men actress has admitted to "faking it" when it comes to playing one of television's most beautiful redheads. The natural blonde began dying her hair at the ripe age of ten after reading Anne of Green Gables. She continued with the red hue well into her acting career when she landed the role of the sultry Joan Holloway on Mad Men.
