Carrie Bickmore reveals dramatic hair transformation on The Project

She’s been rocking blonde locks for as long as we can recall, and now The Project host and Garnier Nutrisse ambassador Carrie Bickmore has gone to the dark side.

That’s right, the 35-year-old host of The Project revealed her new look on tonight’s episode of the news program and we are loving it.

“My son’s not dealing with it well,” Carrie said, making her brunette debut. “He keeps asking, ‘When’s old mummy coming back?’”

Co-host Peter Helliar chimed in: "He thinks you're the evil twin."

But as dramatic as the change is, Carrie doesn’t have any regrets...even though this is the first time she’s plucked up the courage to make a huge change to her appearance.

“I was more excited than nervous,” she revealed exclusively to Be. “I kept telling myself, it's just hair, it will grow back and you can tweak the colour ‘til you get it right. I couldn't wait for a change. I have been blonde most of my life!”

Carrie explained that it took so long to experiment with her hair because she “never really had the guts to before”.

But although Carrie’s new look is UH-mazing, the TV host admits she’s had her fair share of DIY hair-dying mistakes in the past.

“Like most of us, I tried Sun-in when I was a teenager,” she reveals. “Great if you liked yellow hair! Hair colour in a box has come a long way thank goodness!“

Proving that a new look is as good as a holiday, Carrie tells Be that her new ‘do has pepped her up.

“Changing my colour has given me a little pep up and made me feel happy,” she says.
