Kate Gosselin Gets New Look After 20-Hour Makeover

Nothing says "new start" like a new hairstyle -- just ask reality-TV star and recent divorcee Kate Gosselin, who replaced her infamous spiky 'do with long, flowing tresses.
Gosselin, mom of multiples and ex-wife of Jon Gosselin, graces the cover of the Jan. 8 issue of People magazine sporting long blond extensions and a big smile. NBC's "Today" gets a sneak peek and dishes about the drastic makeover, reporting that celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson spent 20-plus hours adding "hundreds" of extensions to Gosselin's hair.
The former co-star of TLC reality show "Jon and Kate Plus 8" just finalized her divorce from Jon. The two endured a very public, acrimonious split which effectively put an end to their television career as on-air parents of sextuplets and twins.
Gibson, who also appears on TLC's "What Not to Wear," tells "Today" that his celeb client was reluctant to let go of the thick shock of hair that fell from her forehead to her jaw. But convincing her to go for wispy bangs proved far less hair-raising than dealing with the tiny, spiky strands of the hairdo that launched a thousand jokes -- and even a Halloween costume.

"Today" reports that Gosselin is thrilled with her new look and is also glad she doesn't have to endure that "awkward growing-out process of short hair."
Women all over the world can relate, Kate, not only with the growing-out process, but also with the desire to get a new 'do after kicking a man to the curb.
What do you think of Kate's new look?

awiser said...20 hrs and it still looks like that. I thought it would at least look good. It isn't even the same color. I would be upset if someone spent 20 hrs on my hair and it came out like that. Extensions take a lot of time and upkeep. I can't imagine having that kind of time to work on my hair everyday and be a part of my kids lives. Someone's priorities need to be reviewed.

Inadequate Wife said...I saw the magazine in the grocery line last night and didn't even realize it was her until I read the headline. Which just means her face is totally unremarkable and (hopefully) she'll just fade away from the news entirely now that her 15 minutes of fame are pretty much over.
As much as I didn't like the spiky 'do, it actually suited her and was more appropriate for a mother of eight kids. The long extensions and time-consuming upkeep just scream "diva", which I guess is what she prefers over "mom".

Jayni said...I think that anything Kate does for herself after all the bad stuff that has happened to her is her reward for surviving threw it all. After all she
still has to be a role model for her daughters. I think it look great and she doesn't look depressed anymore. Good for her!

Donna said...Kate, Just go back to your short hair... it looked better on you and I'm sure was easier to take care of... Hair extentions look fake because everyone knows it isn't your hair... I like your short style... You started a fad then changed? Go back to the Kate Gosselin I love to watch .... D.
