When Carrie Bickmore appeared on The Project last week with brunette hair, she sent viewers into a frenzy.
People were quick to weigh in on the change, unused to seeing the presenter without her trademark blonde hair.
However it’s not the first time the 35 year old has tried to go darker.
“The last time I tried to go brown I was 19 years old and it was a disaster, it came out red and didn’t suit me. I still remember the look on my friends’ faces! I think it scared me off ever trying it again, but thankfully home hair colour has come a long way!” she told Beauticate.
“But I am finding the older I get, the more confident I am getting to take risks. It’s only hair, it will grow back, and it’ll go back to its natural colour, just give it a crack I say!”
It was with the help of Garnier (Bickmore is the face of the brand) that this recent change remained disaster-free.
“I love my blonde but with the change of seasons I wanted to try being a brunette,” she said.
