Lauren Boebert's Natural Hair Totally Changes Her Look

Lauren Boebert has lived many lives, and her history of hair transformations is proof. These days, the congresswoman wears her dark hair in voluminous layers so heavy that they often look wig-like. But this is just her current aesthetic. Her hair journey, much like her public image, has gone through a full transformation arc. Back in 2015, when her open-carry restaurant, Shooters Grill, was starting to make headlines, Lauren Boebert's hair was blond and nearly unrecognizable. It wasn't just the bleach-blond color that threw people off, either; her hair also looked fried and limp. Plus, with the visible dark roots, she wasn't fooling anyone about her natural color.

As she moved into politics (and a series of inappropriate outfits that have become synonymous with Lauren Boebert's name), the blond disappeared. First came a deep brunette, then a transition into the glossy jet-black look she sports today. With all these changes, you're probably wondering: "What does Lauren Boebert's natural hair even look like?" The Colorado representative gave us a rare glimpse during an appearance on "Stinchfield Tonight" in March 2025, while discussing her feud with Democratic Representatives Al Green and Chrissy Houlahan.

Gone were the overdone layers, and in their place were her natural-looking, slightly messy brunette waves. The look was a little chaotic but undeniably natural — and, dare we say, flattering. We're not here to police anyone's beauty choices, but Boebert's natural texture did something her glam routine rarely does: It made her look like someone who doesn't center their whole identity around image. Would a brush and a decent part go a long way? Absolutely. But if she ever wants to ditch the high-maintenance aesthetic, this look might be her strongest yet.

If you ever doubted that hair can age you, Lauren Boebert is all the proof you need. On the left, she's 29, and on the right? She's 39. And yet the younger version looks more tired and aged. It's not just the color, though the over-processed blond doesn't help. The stringy texture, harsh contrast at the roots, and lack of shape made the entire look feel worn out.

Fast forward 10 years, and her natural brunette waves bring softness, dimension, and warmth to her face. In her Fox News appearance, she doesn't just look younger; she also has a soft glow. And this brings us to one of the most important beauty tips: Hair color that clashes with your skin tone, paired with flat or damaged texture, can age you quickly. That's why embracing your natural tones or choosing the right shade of blond for your skin tone and undertone can make all the difference.

Boebert's natural brown waves are also arguably better than her current, wig-like hair. The softer curls and minimal layers bring more life to her face than the heavily styled, flat-ironed hair we usually see. One feels fresh and effortless despite being a bit messy. The other feels a lot more like a pageant wig. If you're trying to buy into a more natural look for a youthful glow, consider sticking to your natural hue and pairing it with a face-framing haircut that can make you look younger. The key to a naturally youthful, unbothered look is knowing that less is more sometimes.

Lauren Boebert's natural hair looks better on her than her blond strands from years ago, but she sometimes still makes mistakes with it. During a congressional hearing in April 2025 — a month after her "Stinchfield Tonight" appearance — Boebert voiced her support for Congressman Darrell Issa's No Rogue Rulings Act with what we can only assume is her natural hair.

However, devoid of her usual sweeping side bangs and deep side part, Boebert's cocoa-brown locks were in a much more varied curl pattern. Following the frizzy tresses she wore during her news appearance, Boebert seems to have over-corrected and had too much oil (whether natural or from products) in her 'do. There was practically no volume at the root, and her part didn't appear to be even. Still, as expected, her fans couldn't get enough regardless of how her 'do looked. One wrote on Instagram, "You are definitely the most beautiful girl up there," while another said, "Us here in Colorado have the hottest congresswoman for sure!"
