Lindsay Lohan is gonna wash, bleach, straighten and style those legal woes right out of her hair!

After roughly 10 hours in the salon chair yesterday (who's got time for alcohol-education classes when there are follicles to be primped?), LiLo emerged from the Andy LeCompte Salon in Beverly Hills just after 10 p.m. a changed woman, debuting a slightly shorter and much blonder 'do for the roughly 40 paparazzi that waited out her double process.

They must really like hair. Ditto for sheriffs deputies, since there were plenty of them on hand, too.

"She wanted to make a fresh start," a salon source told E! News.

And the paparazzi clearly wanted to see her make it, as they began lining up shortly after Lindsay's 1 p.m. arrival for her hair transformation. Since anywhere Lindsay goes—even Fresh Start Lindsay—commotion follows, the owners of the salon were forced to call the West Hollywood Division of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department several times throughout the day to ask for a little crowd control.

Both Lindsay's bodyguard and the owner of salon made repeat trips outside to attempt to push the shutterbugs off the property. But judging from all the pics that emerged of her new 'do this morning, they weren't exactly successful.

Throughout the day, Lohan's assistant kept the starlet fortified with grub from the nearby Urth Caffé, and the duo hightailed it (safely and within the speed limits, etc.) to the Chateau Marmont, where Lindsay is apparently staying.

In slightly more relevant news, Lohan was also due to attend one of her court-ordered alcohol-education classes yesterday. Maybe the instructor makes house salon calls?
