Carrie Underwood is going back to her roots—literally.
On August 4th, the judge from American Idol switched her iconic golden hair to a warm brown-blonde style, sharing that this was the first time in thirty years she’d sported such a hair color.
In a post on Instagram, Carrie mentioned that she last saw her original hair color when she was around 12 years old. However, she recently decided to experiment with it again as she felt it was worth another try.
Acknowledging the assistance of Katelin August, a colorist based in Nashville, the individual mentioned, “I’m returning to my origins.” In her post’s description, she also used the hashtag “#NewOldMe.
After quite some time, I’ve been itching for a change in my appearance. As I expressed back in 2012 on Refinery 29, “I’ve longed to experiment with hair color a bit more. I’ve always been blonde, but I don’t want to startle people — if I dyed my hair brown, for instance, I wouldn’t want them to think I’m becoming somber and serious.” So, I’ve decided to gradually explore new shades without losing the essence of who I am.
She mentioned, “If only I had begun altering my hairstyle earlier, it wouldn’t feel as drastic a change if I were to do something like this now.
In fact, the “Before He Cheats” singer has sometimes felt that she was locked into a specific look.
In 2013, when I chatted with Redbook, I couldn’t help but reflect on the captivating hair experiences I encountered during my tenure on Idol. You see, that show marked my debut in the world of singing competitions back in 2005, and let me tell you, it was the first time someone ever styled my mane professionally!
She continued, “I had a lot of big hair. And I like big hair, but I wouldn’t go back there again.”
A significant portion of it stems from my role as a mother to boys, Isaiah (age 10) and Jacob (age 6), together with my husband, Mike Fisher.
She told Elle magazine in 2016 that choosing to cut her hair without extensions was like a typical mom decision. Instead of spending thirty minutes drying and styling her long hair, she’d prefer to use that time playing with her son instead.
