Gemma Collins shows off real, short hair before incredible makeover
GEMMA Collins gave fans a look at her real, short hair before a transformational makeover.
The 42-year-old admitted she’s not a natural blonde and it takes hours to lighten her roots.
After a busy few months, ex-Towie star Gemma resorted to DIY hair dye as a quick-fix.
But her hairdresser Nick wasn’t impressed – and made fun of her patchy work.
Gemma said: “He breaks it to me, ‘Gemma, you look like a leopard’.
“I had to confess every now and then I whip out the bleach and whack it on myself because it takes ten minutes.
“I don’t always have the time to sit for hours to do highlights.
“I know it’s the worst thing you can do for your hair.”
Gemma then posted videos of her natural hair, which was short with darkened roots.
A few hours later, her hairdresser revealed she had 200 foils in her hair to dye it blonde.
He then added hair extensions to give her instant long locks.
She was bombarded with compliments from her fans.
One said: “Wow Gem, your makeup and skin looks unreal here such a natural beauty!! Stunning xxx.”
Another said: “Wow, you really suit it.”
