In April, Barrymore traded her two-tone ombre for blazing red. "We had been talking about going red for a few months, and since Drew has been auburn before, we knew it would look good," her colorist Tracey Cunningham told InStyle.com exclusively. "It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision. When Drew changes her hair color, she really commits to it." History repeated itself in early November, when Barrymore went back to her ombre roots and snipped her strands into a long bob.
