Lauren Boebert Looks So Different With Blond Hair
Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert might be one of the most outspoken Donald Trump supporters of our time, but there's still a lot we don't know about the mom of four beyond her politics. For example, we recently learned that Lauren Boebert has a massive, outdated '90s tribal tattoo, but did you know that she also used to have blond hair?
Let's set the stage first: Boebert ran for office in 2019 as a Trump-loving, AOC-hating, and gun-toting firebrand with big promises for change, but even before that, she'd gained attention for running Shooters Grill, a Colorado restaurant where servers openly carried firearms. In 2015, she was interviewed by the National Rifle Association because of the restaurant, and it's in that viral video that we see Boebert in all of her blond, pre-Congress glory.
From the footage, it's pretty clear that she's not a natural blond. Dark roots are already growing in, the color has that flat, brassy yellow tone you only get from box dye or budget bleaching, and her brows are totally dark, which are dead giveaways. By 2016, an interview with Post Independent showed that she had toned things down a bit. She'd traded in the harsher bleach job for a softer, ashier blond with subtle lowlights. Still dyed, still not natural, but at least her hair wasn't screaming for conditioner anymore.
Lauren Boebert rebranded her hair and image in 2019
In 2017, Lauren Boebert seemed to have a revelation about skin undertones and how to figure them out. She ditched the blond and went for a deep brunette shade that was nearly black, and it suited her skin tone much better. And though it was a tad bit too dark and the ghost of blond still lingered in the ends, it was miles better than her 2016 look. Honestly, this hair color might be the only reason Lauren Boebert's 2017 mugshot without makeup looks halfway decent. We can only imagine how it would've looked if she'd still been rocking that brassy blond.
By 2019, Boebert's rebrand was in full swing. From her hair to her poise, everything about the aspiring politician had shifted. She had embraced a more polished persona and, judging by the photo she shared with the Colorado Sun, finally consulted a professional about her hair. She had also leaned into what would become her signature look: the power blazer, which, ironically, is now the anti-hero of the outdated outfits we've been begging Lauren Boebert to leave behind. That same year, she doubled down on her support for Donald Trump and hatred for socialism, which, as it turns out, was all she needed to unseat Rep. Scott Tipton and step into the congressional spotlight.
