Country music icon Reba McEntire recently stirred up social media buzz with her latest hairstyle, triggering diverse reactions from her fans.
However, this recent hair change isn’t the first time the legendary star has played with different looks.
Famous for her vibrant red curls and captivating stage presence, McEntire took a daring step away from her trademark style, embracing a sleeker hairstyle that elicited mixed responses from the public.
The 68-year-old unveiled her new look in a playful Instagram video where she comically explored the dressing room of The Voice judges Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney, known collectively as the pop duo Dan + Shay, during the show’s 25th season.
While the video aimed to showcase McEntire’s humorous side, it unintentionally highlighted her fresh hairstyle.
Critics wasted no time sharing their thoughts, with remarks ranging from “Her hair looks terrible. Makes her look old,” to “Not loving the hairstyle. Too flat on your head like a helmet.”
Some even urged McEntire to revert to her previous style, with one comment stating: “Girl, this hairstyle is not you. Go back to the old Reba with fluffy hair. Much more attractive on you.”
Even devoted fans of McEntire expressed their disapproval of the new look, commenting “Love ya but this flat hair has to go,” and “You are beautiful but the haircut [is] not you.”
Throughout her illustrious career, McEntire has been synonymous with her curly, voluminous hair, symbolizing her lively persona both on and off stage.
In a previous interview with the Dallas Voice dating back to 2015, McEntire reminisced about her iconic hair, revealing: “I can’t get [my stylist] Brett Freedman to get it that high anymore! My good friend Shane Tarleton is always saying, ‘Get that big hair out.’”
Despite the mixed reactions to her latest hairstyle, Reba McEntire undeniably embraces a fearless approach to self-expression! While some may prefer the “old Reba” with her fluffy curls, I believe her new hairstyle showcases her dynamic personality!
