To be fair, this isn't the first time Benson has gone darker — she's just never gone this dark before. Just last month, she enlisted hairstylist Marc Mena to trim her hair into a "clavicle bob," proving that the shoulder-length style was officially back for fall. At the time, her hair appeared smudged with a warmer shade of sandy blonde at the roots. Now, it seems she decided to test run another color a few shades darker. The new chocolate-brown shade is rich, warm, and so perfect for Benson, and she's left a touch of lighter color at the ends (almost as if her signature blonde had grown out).
