Lizzo Just Went Red — Get the Exact Shade Thanks to Her Hairstylist

08/13/2025

New music, new look. Lizzo, who’s been rocking platinum blonde as of late, switched it up on all of us with a total transformation to a deep red hair color thanks to Jared “JstayReady” Henderson.

J tells us the move was 100% intentional, saying, “The shift in Lizzo‘s music (from classic pop to more rap) has definitely inspired us to play with more bold color choices. When she released her last mixtape  I wanted a cool look for her rap alter ego ‘Lizzie’ so platinum was the move.” He adds, “Now that she’s gearing up to release more music I wanted to shift, but still have a bold color so I thought why not red!? lol.” Well, we’re definitely not laughing — the color is everything!

And J, graciously shared the exact shade he used for Lizzo. (Editor’s Note: Instagram is being weird about letting us embed the video, so watch him styling her hair on IG here.) Scroll for the details!

Get the Look:

  1. “I pre-lightened the hair with WELLA Blondor Multi Blonde bleach and 20% vol developer.
  2. Then I used WELLA Koleston Perfect 55/46 Intense Light Brown/Red Violet.”
