While there are some celebrities who were absolutely born to be blonde even if it's not their natural hue, there are others whom we prefer on the darker side. Sometimes the change is so drastic and unflattering, you can barely recognize the celebrity herself (hello, Zooey Deschanel). 

While we absolutely love the following 20 entertainers, we think they should probably lay off the bleach. Tell us what you think: Do you prefer these celebs as blondes or brunettes?
