Sharon Osbourne has no regrets about switching up her signature look.
The “Talk” co-host, 67, shocked fans in February when she ditched her fiery red hair color for a more natural platinum gray.
“I love the freedom it has given me. I’ve got nothing to prove. It’s not like I’m trying to look younger. I’m just trying to look my best,” she told People about the big change.
Prior to taking the plunge with the help of stylist Jack Martin, Osbourne had been maintaining her signature scarlet shade with weekly dye jobs — a hassle, especially while traveling.
“Then it’d just bleed. On my collars. On my pillow cases. Everywhere. And when you’d wash and dry it, it’d be a different shade of red. I was really resenting being tied by a color of hair,” the star said.
“She had been coloring her hair every week for the past 18 years, and when she came in, I could tell how tired she was from that commitment,” Martin previously told Page Six Style, revealing that it took eight hours to take Osbourne from red to platinum gray.
“Imagine how many layers of color I had to go through in order to get her to white while still keeping her hair healthy.”
Osbourne joked that the dramatic change took her a while to get used to. “I would pass a mirror and be like, ‘Who is that? Oh, it’s me!’,” she told People.
Now that the TV personality’s seeing herself in a new light, she fully appreciates her low-maintenance routine, revealing that she uses L’anza Silver Brightening Shampoo ($31), a toner and Dr. Alkaitis Treatment Oil ($92).
