How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

On August 3, The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member took to her Instagram page to share a dramatic debut: she chopped off her long, light blonde hair and swapped it for a shorter, darker 'do. 

"WELCOME TO MY DARK SIDE," Danielle captioned the series of photos that showcased her new hair, which featured a shoulder-length chop that appeared to have some face-framing layers, echoing a '90s-like style. The new hairstyle, which Danielle credited to stylist Kevin Kelly, also switched up from her frosty blonde color to a reddish brunette hue with flecks of blonde highlights throughout. 

"I freaking love it!" Melissa Gorga wrote in the comments section while several other followers left their love for the new hair. 

"We did the damn thing, team," Danielle concluded the caption of her post, celebrating her fresh look. 

Danielle Cabral's "Healthy Hair Journey"  

In an Instagram video shared earlier in July, Danielle's stylist revealed the process of Danielle's "healthy hair journey," showing how the pair took out her longer blonde extensions to her natural length and brightened things up with a few highlights. 

"I mean, you know," Danielle joked in the video as she got used to her shorter hair. "I love how you fluff like there's actual stuff to fluff!"

Details on Danielle Cabral's Cosmetic Procedures 

Danielle's look has changed in other ways lately. 

As you can watch in the video above, Danielle recently opened up to BravoTV.com about getting a "mommy makeover," sharing how the procedure changed her life. 

After giving birth to her kids, Dominic and Valentina, via Cesarean Section, Danielle said her body was "destroyed," causing her to opt for a "tummy tuck" cosmetic procedure.

"So, I got a tummy tuck — they call it a 'mommy makeover' — a tummy tuck and lipo[suction], and it changed my whole body," she shared. "It changed my confidence, and I'm really happy. So yeah, I did that glow-up."

One thing Danielle isn't set on changing? Her face. "This is the same," she said, pointing to her facial features. "I'm done here. This is done."
