The gospel and country star debuted the new look on social media, ditching what had become her signature blonde locks. The transformation comes after she received a GMA Dove Award nomination.
Carrie Underwood is giving this hair color "a second chance." The 42-year-old took to Instagram on Tuesday, August 5, to reveal her hair transformation. Instead of the light, icy champagne blonde her fans have come to love, her locks are now a soft, sun-kissed caramel brown.
Underwood shared a short Instagram carousel of her new look, including a clip of herself showcasing the hairstyle in natural light. "Well, the last time I saw my natural hair color, I was probably about 12 years old," she wrote.
"But I thought it might be time to give it a second chance. Thanks, @hairbykatelin_ at @parlour3beauty for helping me get back to my roots! #NewOldMe #Bronde," she added.
