While everyone from Madonna to US Magazine appeared to be  focused on the state of Bennifer, they were missing the real scoop, which was Jennifer's collection of ever changing, brilliantly designed, breathtaking hair colors.

Have you seen it lately?  Think about it.  There she was, an intoxicating vision on the October 2003 cover of W Magazine.  The leather clad Jennifer Lopez was impeccably coifed with shiny chestnut tresses that flowed into a liquid Oribe designed fringe of soft chocolate colored curls.

A shiny splash of artfully placed golden infused streaks caught the light around her face and bounced off the edge of her sultry Veronica Lakesque bangs.  

Crack open the W magazine and flip through the first 26 pages until you come across a full page advertisement for her latest fragrance, still jennifer lopez.  Could that really be the same women lounging on the luxurious couch?

Yes, it is yet another one of the indelible images of Jennifer Lopez. For the still jennifer lopez look her hair was completely and totally different.  The soft chestnut from the W Cover had been transformed into a beautiful composition of sultry rich baby blonde shades that perfectly match the array of soft delicate waves and curls that frame her beautiful face to perfection. 

Keep flipping through that same W issue and you would find JLo in one of her celebrated Louis Vuitton ads sporting slicked back chocolate tresses with artfully applied pin stripped caramel highlights.

If these three stellar examples of Jennifer Lopez's hair color metamorphous in just one magazine is not proof enough, pop over to the Web and check out her many images that appear on a myriad of sites from InStyle to her many fan sites.  

Although I personally loved her ultra blonde hair that she had in her Angel Eyes movie, I was also in awe of her soft baby blonde shade in her new still jennifer lopez layouts.  They were two completely different blonde hues but both were spectacular.

Steal Her Hair Color Tricks

Her hair color for W Magazine was a true work of color art crafted skillfully by her celebrated hair color magician, Rita Hazan of the Rita Hazan Salon in New York City. 

Rita is the ongoing genius behind the perfect creation of Jennifer's sun-kissed tresses and the person who defines Lopez's hair color for every season.

Rita, who is warm and funny and very approachable, has worked with Jennifer for years since they first met at the infamous New York Oribe salon. 

''Jennifer's highlights are a honey-caramel color—her natural color is a golden brown".  "For most people, less is more," Hazan said, adding that "heavy highlights or a drastic contrast can look overdone".  For Jennifer, Hazan uses "a foil method to highlight strands in the top layer of hair and around the face".

So how does Jennifer have so many different hues?  Rita pointed out "we always change Jennifer's hair around a little each time, sometimes mixing in lowlights (darker pieces), other times adding more highlights."  

As a result, "her color is different all the time" and it can work with her myriad of fashion styles which range from natural and relaxed to sporty to ultra high glam.  Jennifer has a certain "spontaneity" to not only her fashions but her overall image.  Which is why changing up her hair color on a regular basis "really works" according to Rita.

If you want to steal Jennifer's great color Rita advises that you specifically "avoid stark contrasting colors, especially if you usually wear your hair pulled back. 

If you don't?  Your strands will look striped". Of course it's important she said to "get touch-ups every two months" to control the re-growth areas.

Added celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves "Jennifer loves to wear her naturally wavy hair both curly as well as blown straight.  He noted that "red carpet nights are often updo affairs for Jennifer" and "change is good".
