Carrie Underwood has been in the entertainment business for around a decade now, and the entire time, she’s rocked the same signature long, light blonde locks. However, she’s decided to ditch the shade that followed her through her career and return to her roots.
The singer-songwriter wowed her fanbase when she posted photos of herself at the hair salon after going back to her natural hair color. It’s the first time she’s done something drastic to her hair in years, and she even admitted that she hadn’t seen her original shade since she was just a kid. Once the pictures were uploaded to Instagram, her fans began raving about how beautiful she looked in the comments, praising her decision to go back to a more natural color. However, some users felt that they liked her older style better. Read more about her hair transformation below.

Carrie Underwood Returns To Her Natural Hair Color In A New Instagram Post
The country star had her major breakthrough after winning the fourth season of American Idol in 2005, where she auditioned and won with her light blonde hairstyle. Since then, after becoming one of the most famous female musicians from the last 20 years, she's mostly stuck to being a blonde, getting the occasional highlight to change the tone. Still, she was most famous for her light blonde hair that complemented her skin tone and brightened her look.
However, as it turns out, her signature blonde shade was not her natural color, and after two decades in the spotlight, she decided to return to her roots, literally. Earlier this week, the mom of two made a vulnerable Instagram post to reveal to the internet and her fanbase that she decided to visit her hairdresser and return to her natural hair color after years of keeping it a light blonde tone.
"Well, the last time I saw my natural hair color, I was probably about 12 years old, but I thought it might be time to give it a second chance," she wrote in her caption.
Carrie's natural shade is what fans are calling "bronde," a lovely, darker blonde shade that's right on the verge of qualifying her as a brunette.
The Internet Reacts To Carrie's Natural Hair Color In The Comments Section
Once the "Before He Cheats" singer shared the photos of her new hair on Instagram, internet users, from her fanbase to pop culture enthusiasts, weighed in on what they thought of her natural color in the comments section. Many were shocked that she was open enough to admitting that she had been sporting some dyed locks, and they also went back and forth as to which shade they liked the best.
"This looks so good on you!" commented a fan, as another wrote that her "natural hair color is so beautiful."
"I wish more women would embrace their more natural color!" added another. "It looks great."
One Instagram user was a little more hesitant to accept the change, commenting that Carrie "looks totally different," as another predicted she'll "be back to blonde before long."
Still, the overall consensus is that people are welcoming the new color and believe she looks better than ever, even if it is different.
"You look so young with this new hair color," added a fan. "Love it!"
We'll be curious to see if Carrie decides to keep her natural-colored locks for a while or if she goes back to her lighter blonde. However, the positive feedback she's getting might sway her to embrace the shade she was born with.
