Out with the old and in with the new—and there were a lot of new looks this week.
Several stars decided to change up their hairstyles recently, with Olivia Jade and Allison Holker dyeing their strands darker, while Hilary Duff and Dakota Johnson lightening things up. Plus, a Today Show correspondent said goodbye to her "maternity leave hair" as she prepped for her return to the NBC morning show.
But it wasn't just hair care going down recently as Demi Lovato unveiled their epic new head tattoo days after shaving their head. And a Top Chef alum shared his 40-pound weight loss journey after deciding to hit the "reset button" on his health.
Check out the most surprising celeb transformations of the week...
A Top Chef star is sharing his "pandemic weight journey."
Taking to Instagram on Jan. 10, Gourdet revealed he's lost 40 pounds and posted before-and-after photos. "212# to 172#," he wrote alongside the pics. "This was hard!"
Looking back at his experience, Gourdet recalled how, "Between gyms closing, a running injury (I have a torn meniscus) and survival eating at work, I gained a good amount of weight in 2020." Then in July, when he was at his "highest weight ever," he decided to press the "reset button" on his health.
"But everything that had worked in the past including yoga and intermittent fasting just wasn't working," the 46-year-old continued. So, Gourdet made some changes, including a combination of keto and intermittent fasting, power walking, running, gym, yoga, acupuncture, massage and hydrotherapy.
"I power walked on a treadmill for months until my therapist told me I could run again," he wrote. "I went keto for the first time and extended my fasting to 20 to 24 hours a few days a week and finally started losing the extra weight. Spent hours diving deeper into the health benefits of fasting and keto."
Hey now, hey now, this is what hair dreams are made of.
Ahead of the premiere of her Hulu sitcom How I Met Your Father, Duff took to Instagram to show off her longer and lighters locks, which were done by Kelsey Deenihan Fisher and Nikki Lee.
"glam with the bestest- it has been so much fun doing press for HIMYF," Duff captioned the snaps showing off her voluminous strands. "my heart is full and it feels so good to be out there again in the world promoting something I am so proud of …with this giant mane."
Someone is dancing into the new year with a fierce new look.
Holker took to Instagram on Jan. 10 to reveal she had said goodbye to her signature blonde tresses in favor of a warm brown color.
"2022 HAIR!!," the So You Think You Can Dance pro captioned a Jan. 10 selfie. "Bringing in the year with new energy, new goals and new hair!! What do you think of my darker hair color? I love it!!"
Holker's husband Stephen "tWitch" Boss clearly felt the same way about her brunette 'do, leaving a comment gushing, "Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaabe" and adding two heart-eye emojis. Her former Dancing With the Stars co-star Peta Murgatroyd was also a fan, writing, "The best you've looked!!!!"
Everything is temporary, just ask the YouTube influencer.
Jade took to Instagram on Jan. 11 to reveal she had dyed her hair a dark shade of brown, though the results lasted a bit longer than she had initially intended.
"selfies with my hopefully temporary hair that was supposed to wash out last week," the 22-year-old Dancing With the Stars alum captioned the photo. "what the hell."
We're here for this mommy makeover.
The Today Show weather anchor is ready for her return to the air after giving birth to her third son Russell James last October and took to social media to share her hair transformation.
"Bye bye maternity leave hair!!," Dreyer captioned a series of photos showing off her before and after. "Welcome back bob! Dusting off the cobwebs and getting back in the saddle with a little @nbcearthodyssey Be back soon on @todayshow in a few weeks!"
The 40-year-old meteorologist then thanked her hairstylist Kim Russo for "working your magic…it needed it!!"
The New Year means a new beginning—and new ink for the pop star.
Lovato debuted a massive head tattoo on Jan. 8, soon after it was revealed they had completed more treatment amid a long journey to sobriety.
The 29-year-old singer, who had showcased a fresh buzzcut just after Christmas, posted on their Instagram Story a photo of a black spider tattoo decorating the side of their head, on a newly shaved patch of skin.
After posting a plea to their hairstylist to "come fix my hair pleeeease," Lovato shared a passage from the Native American folk tale Grandmother Spider Brings the Light, which read, "It was Grandmother Spider who taught us many things. She taught us about pottery and weaving. She taught us about fire and light and dark. She taught us that we are all connected on the web — each one of us having our place in this world."
