Dakota Johnson's Different Hairstyles Over the Years

The reactions to Dakota's blonde hair stem from the fact that over the past few years, the "Cha Cha Real Smooth" star's hair has mostly been worn in darker colors. In 2017, she was seen wearing red hair while filming a horror film after production wrapped on the last two films of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" franchise.

According to her hairstylist, Mark Townsend, when it comes to how he styles the star's hair, Townsend wants Dakota's hair to be "touchable and never overdone – just young and fresh. He added:

"We never want her hair to look like newscaster hair...we're not afraid of a little flyaway here and there. If there's a breeze, I want the hair to move with it!"
