Carly Waddell Shocks Fans by ‘Impulsively’ Changing Her Hairstyle: ‘Back to Her Roots’
New ’do.
Bachelor Nation fans first met Carly Waddell on Season 19 of “The Bachelor” before she found love on “Bachelor in Paradise” with Evan Bass. The two married, welcomed kids Bella and Charlie, and later split in 2020.
Last year, Carly went public with her relationship with Todd Allen Tressler, and the couple got engaged in the fall during a family trip to Costa Rica.
Just this summer, Carly was talking about wedding plans and more children, but a couple months ago, she revealed the engagement is over.
Now, Carly has shocked fans by revealing her new hairstyle online as she navigates this new chapter.
Over a video of her showing off dark brunette hair, Carly wrote, “Feeling a little stuck lately. But I’ve always heard ‘if you change your energy, you change your life’. So I impulsively dyed my hair, and impulsively traded in my car for the one I’ve always wanted this week.”
The Bachelor Nation star went on and revealed the other changes she’s made to help “change” her “energy.”
She said, “Started grounding in the earth and meditating when I can. Sometimes being a mom, or woman in general is weird because u just pay attention to everyone else but yourself, but I decided lately that I deserve that attention too. So here’s to Carly in her 40s getting back to her roots….literally and figuratively.”
Fans and fellow Bachelor Nation stars filled the comments with their reactions to Carly’s new hair.
Sarah Herron wrote, “It looks so good with your complexion! Love it!!!”
Molly Mesnick said, “Omg brunette is your color!! 🤎” and Tenley Molzahn Leopold added, “👏👏 beautiful!!! Love it!”
One person commented, “Stunning!! Makes your eyes pop, compliments your skin tone!!” and another person chimed in, “You are definitely suppose to be a brunette! Looks so good!”
We couldn’t agree more with all the love for Carly. We love her new hairstyle!
