The Darker Side of Zac Efron

While many people, celebs included, wait until after the New Year to get a new hairstyle or change their look, OK! has learned that High School Musical hunk Zac Efron, without on-off-on girlfriend and co-star Vanessa Hudgens, was at the Neil George Salon in Beverly Hills on Monday, getting a jump on his New Year's resolution with a cut and color. Except, from what salon insiders tell OK!, the new hairstyle wasn't exactly the Hairspray star's idea.

"He was getting his hair cut for a production," one witness reveals to OK!. "And the producers were making him color it. Someone from the production was with Zac, guiding the stylists through it." According to the witness, they even brought a color sample — a darker brown than fans are used to seeing on the young star's adorable head — that they're trying to match."

As of Monday night, Zac hadn't gone public with the new, darker 'do, but OK! is just dyeing for a peek!
