Carrie Underwood appears to have gone darker than ever with a new brunette look. The singer previously ditched her signature bleached blonde locks in August.”The last time I saw my natural hair color, I was probably about 12 years old,” she wrote at the time.<\/p>\n
Singer Carrie Underwood’<\/a>s blonde hair has become her signature look over the years. In fact, it’s hard to remember a time when she wasn’t rocked a bright, bleached look. But all of that changed this year. After ditching her signature look this summer and returning to a more natural light brown shade, Underwood seems to have gone even darker for the winter months.\n<\/p>\n In a new selfie which the singer shared on Instagram<\/a>, she showed off her long, curly brunette locks\u2014and she really does look almost unrecognizable.<\/p>\n Carrie Underwood’s new look.<\/p>\n Carrie Underwood \/ Instagram<\/p>\n She shared the selfie to promote her charity work with St. Jude Children’s Hospital, which specializes in childhood cancers and pediatric diseases. As she wrote in the caption: “Every child deserves hope.\u00a0Become a Partner in Hope with\u00a0@stjude<\/a>\u00a0and get your\u00a0@musicgives<\/a>\u00a0shirt at\u00a0musicgives.org and help kids facing cancer. \u2764\ufe0f”\n<\/p>\n Underwood with darker hair in October 2025.<\/p>\n Getty<\/p>\n Underwood previously went a little darker in August. “Well, the last time I saw my natural hair color, I was probably about 12 years old, but I thought it might be time to give it a second chance,” she wrote in the caption<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n As Underwood explained back in 2012, she stuck with the platinum blonde for so long because she didn’t want to “shock” her fans.\n<\/p>\n “I’d love to do a little more with hair color. I’ve always been blonde! The problem is, I don’t want to shock people\u2014like if I dyed my hair brown, I don’t want people think I’m turning dark and serious,” she said to Refinery29<\/a>. “I wish I had started changing my hair around in the beginning, then it wouldn’t be such a big shock if I did something like that now.”\n<\/p>\n Underwood previously went darker in August.<\/p>\n Carrie Underwood \/ Instagram<\/p>\n
