Posh dyes her hair blonde - but not like Jordan

Victoria Beckham has had her hair dyed blonde, but told hairdressers not to make her look like Jordan.

Beckham reportedly spent £1,300 (€1,950) on highlights and 16 inches of hair extensions at the same North London salon used by the glamour model.

The new look took two stylists five hours to complete. They used five shades of highlights and fashioned the extensions using hair from Spain.

The ex-Spice Girl arrived at the Connect Hair System salon in Chalk Farm, North London, UK, with shoulder-length brown hair. She left five hours later trying to hide her new look beneath a baseball cap.

She had her hair done in time for son Brooklyn's fifth birthday party which was held last night at their Hertfordshire home, says The Sun.

Salon owner Angelo Georghiou said: "We have been styling Victoria's hair for three years and she has never had such a transformation. And we know exactly what Jordan's hair is like as we style hers as well."

He added: "She said she wanted highlights added to it and opted for a full head of extensions using Spanish hair - which she found amusing. Spanish hair is good for long extensions because a lot of Spanish women have long, tough hair.

"We offer seven different blonde colours and Victoria wanted five different shades on the extensions. They were platinum, light ash, honey, dark blonde and dark golden blonde. The hair extensions will last for about three months until her own hair begins to show through. She will then have to have them re-done."
