Two months ago, Modern Family star Ariel Winter debuted her most dramatic hair transformation thus far — having gone from long, jet black waves to bright red ones with fresh layers. Winter told POPSUGAR that it the new look took some getting used to.
"I was definitely scared since it was such a big, huge hair change," she said. "After it was done . . . I knew I liked it, but it was so drastic and I looked so different. I felt like I didn't look like me — not in a bad way — but it was just something I had to get used to."
What she did next was so relatable, "The next day I was walking past my bathroom mirror and saw the red hair was freaked out thinking that someone was in my bathroom," she said. "I saw a red hair on my bed, and I was like 'Whose is this?' And then, you know, remembered it was me." She ultimately fell in love with the look and that hair is important to her. The newly-minted spokesperson for Ulta Beauty's "The Salon at Ulta" said that one of her go-to rituals to make herself feel beautiful is getting her hair professionally styled. "If I don't have makeup on or haven't showered that day — if my hair is done I feel better," she said. "When my hair is done, or even just blow-dried, it really just makes me feel a little better." Winter went on to say that she discovered a hair tool that changed the game when it comes to styling her new red hair. Read more about it, ahead.
