I’ve been following Keke Palmer’s journey since her early days in Akeelah and the Bee and True Jackson, VP, so I am a stan who pays attention to the Keke Palmer. So, best believe that I was busy picking my jaw up off the floor after seeing Keke’s new caramel-blonde highlighted hair.
On June 4, she shared a video showing off her blonde-highlighted, pin-straight hair that was parted down the middle with layers that fell toward her chest. Her dark brown roots transitioned seamlessly into a caramel blonde in the front. It looked like the back half of her hair was the same shade of brunette as her roots.
Though her gorgeous hair is definitely distracting, Keke Palmer‘s video is worth a listen. She mostly spoke about how damaging it can be to have very superficial ideas of success. In the caption, which was lengthy, she wrote, “Value should be placed on character, not monetary and superficial things. We miss out every time we do that to ourselves and others!” Hear the encouraging words below from Queen Palmer herself.

It’s definitely been forever and a day since we’ve seen Keke with hair this light. She has stuck loyal to dark brunette for a few years now, whether her hair is in braids, an Afro, or a silky half-up ponytail, so it will be interesting to see if or when she returns to her brunette roots.
