    Nicole has gone back to her original blonde locks, but do you love or hate her new look?

    She’s been long and short, brunette and blonde, and yesterday Nicole Richie played makeover again, chopping off her tumbling dark tresses, and going back to her original blonde waves.

    But Nic's new look didn't happen over night. After enlistingthe help of Hollywood hairdressing pals, her transformation was carried out over two days, with stylists first colouring, then cutting her hair.

    On Wednesday, the star appeared to have had her long locks lightened, showing off her new look to followers on Twitter, when she posted a snap of herself posing with her birthday boy beau, Joel Madden.

    And yesterday, Nicole further added to her makeover, debuting a shorter, honey-hued 'do, with soft side fringe and loosely curled waves, in a snap on her website.

    ‘Last night we played Clueless. Andy and George played Cher & Dionne, and I played Tai. “aaahhh!! project!”’ the stylish star joked under the picture.

    And it seems Nic was so pleased with the outcome of her makeover party she even credited the well-known stylists (Andy Lecompte for the cut, and George Papanikolas for the colour), on her website.

    Clearly loving her new look, she also posted the pic on Twitter, with the caption: ‘Let's Do A Makeover...’
