If you thought Demi Lovato's new blue'‘do was inspired by the Smurfs, you'd be wrong.

According to the star's colorist Amber Maynard from Nine Zero One Salon, the singer—like most gals—gets her beauty ideas from one very popular picture website. "Demi looked up blue hair on Pinterest and showed me a couple of photos she liked," Amber shared exclusively with E! News.

Despite the star's casual approach, her shade swap was months in the making.

"We've been planning it ever since she has been going blond. We started taking her lighter at the beginning of the year," says Amber. And while blue was her final choice she did consider other colors. "She was thinking of going pink or purple, but she kept going back to blue."
