Tamra Judge Is Rocking Shorter Hair Again — This Time with Darker Roots

The Real Housewives of Orange County fitness buff ditched her long hair before last night's appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

By Adele Chapin

Lately The Real Housewives of Orange County's Tamra Judge has been wearing her hair long enough to rock an edgy long ponytail. But the OC mama must have been missing her lob phase and bob phase, because she decided to go short again before appearing on What What Happens Live with Andy Cohen this week. Another twist: Her hair color was looking darker, too.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Peacock and the Bravo App.

We've seen Tamra rock a faux haircut before, so is this change up permanent? Turns out, her "cut" — and her color — was just an illusion.

Hairstylist Julius Michael explained it all on Instagram, writing: "Yup #RHOC @tamrajudge I cut 6 inches off your #hair for tonight’s #WWHL well off @hiddencrownhair #extensions and gave you dark blonde faux roots." 

It all looks so natural, and we love how Tamra can turn roots into a fashion statement, one that's worth faking!

Julius worked extension magic on another RHOC pal last week, giving Shannon Beador an I Dream of Jeannie-inspired high ponytail. To take a look at Tamra's long hair, check out the video above where she shares her beauty product musts, and see her faux lob and faux roots in action on WWHL here
