Is Katherine Heigl really a brunette? (What is the Firefly Lane star natural hair color?)

Firefly Lane is one of the best drama series on Netflix and there’s just no arguing that. It’s about two best friends, Tully and Kate, who after meeting as teens in the ’70s, continue to remain inseparable into their 40s. Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke play the leading ladies, and everyone loves the chemistry between the two talented actresses.

The drama series spans over thirty years and explores the start of Tully and Kate’s friendship as teens up into their middle-age years. Since Tully and Kate are complete opposites in every way, they have several arguments throughout their friendship. But what matters is that they always make their way back to each other in the end. Well, they usually resolve their issues, but I don’t know how things will turn out for them in the second and final season. Fingers crossed, they remain close friends at the end of the show.

Now, if you were a fan of Katherine Heigl before Firefly Lane, you probably were shocked to see her rocking brunette hair in the drama series. She usually has blonde hair. For example, the former characters she played were all blonde, like Izzie Stevens in Grey’s Anatomy, Alison Scott in Knocked Up, Jane Nichols in 27 Dresses, and Abby Richter in The Ugly Truth. So, did she dye her hair brunette for the Tully role? What’s her natural hair color? Continue reading because we answered these burning questions.

Firefly Lane: Is Katherine Heigl really a brunette?

Yes and no. The beautiful actress appeared on the talk show The Talk in February 2021 to promote the first season of Firefly Lane and mentioned that she changed her hair color because she wanted to “honor the book the show is based on and keep it as true to the story as possible.” If you didn’t know, the drama series is based on the book of the same name by Kristin Hannah. Heigl’s character is brunette in the novel, so she wanted to keep the same hair color for the show.

Heigl did dye her hair dark brown for Firefly Lane season 1, as reported by Cosmopolitan. The process took three hours to complete. However, it looks like she also wore a wig for the scenes set in the ’80s in the first season.

For Firefly Lane season 2, Heigl chose not to dye her hair brunette for the role. She wears several different brunette wigs throughout the second season, as opposed to actually dyeing her hair.

What is Firefly Lane star Katherine Heigl’s natural hair color?

According to Us Magazine, Heigl is a natural blonde. This isn’t necessarily surprising because she’s always sported blonde hair in movies, TV shows, and in her personal life. I mean, even her son’s hair is naturally blonde. That’s proof right there.
