Carrie Underwood is wrapping up 2025 on a natural note.
The country music star, 42, traded her signature blond tresses for a darker hair color earlier this year and now she’s showing off the look again in a Dec. 12 selfie on Instagram.
The “Before He Cheats” singer’s long hair is a warm brown color with pretty honey highlights.
Underwood’s fans have been loving her new brown hair color.
“Beautiful and natural!” one wrote.
“I think (it) looks great. Nothing wrong with a change. Very pretty Ms. Underwood,” someone else added.
Underwood’s latest hair pic comes a little more than four months after she revealed in August she had returned to her natural hair color.
“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 captioned pics and a video of her sporting darker locks.
The “American Idol” champion-turned-judge also thanked Nashville-based hairstylist Katelin Megert for “helping me get back to my roots” and concluded her post with the hashtags #NewOldMe and #Bronde.
She followed that pic up with another one in November that showed her showing off her darker hair along with a few impressive tromboncino squashes.
Underwood has been weighing a return to her brown hair for more than a decade.
In 2012, she told Refinery29 the only thing holding her back from making the switch was the “shock” factor.
“The problem is, I don’t want to shock people — like if I dyed my hair brown, I don’t want people (to) think I’m turning dark and serious. 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,” she explained.
While it took a while for her to go darker, Underwood, who shares sons Isaiah, 10, and Jacob, 6, with husband Mike Fisher, has previously experimented with different hair lengths, even if she made the decision out of necessity.
“Cutting my hair was a ‘mom’ move,” she told Elle in 2016 after welcoming Isaiah. “I could spend half an hour to blow it dry and have it be super long, or I could spend that time playing with my son, and I’d much rather do the latter.”
