On a recent episode of “Live with Kelly & Mark,” Kelly Ripa candidly shared her apprehension towards getting haircuts, confessing that the fear of regret always looms over her. The 53-year-old host humorously compared her hair struggles to those of Carol Brady, acknowledging her husband Mark Consuelos’ role in a past haircut mishap.
Ripa, who has experienced the highs and lows of experimenting with shorter styles, admitted that she often contemplates a haircut until she actually gets one. Once the deed is done, the challenge becomes maintaining the new style, a task she finds daunting. The fear of ending up with a cut reminiscent of the iconic TV mom, Carol Brady, stems from a past incident when Consuelos suggested a Michelle Pfeiffer-inspired bob.
Consuelos humorously recounted the incident, expressing his surprise when Ripa’s bob ended up resembling Carol Brady’s iconic hairstyle. He now offers a diplomatic stance, advising Ripa to do as she pleases while emphasizing the potential post-cut misery.
Ripa playfully elaborated on Consuelos’ supportive yet cautionary words, stating, “Do what you want to do, but just know that you’re going to be miserable as soon as you cut your hair off.” This amusing exchange reflects Ripa’s reluctance to take the plunge into shorter hairstyles.
On the same episode, Ripa discussed the popular “flippy bob” or “bixie cut” trend in Hollywood, showcasing her enthusiasm for the style while offering a humorous critique. She cheekily pointed out that hairstylists often present the trend using models under the age of 20, urging them to showcase the hairstyle’s real-world durability after facing the challenges of pillow shapes, bed sheets, and the cold weather.
As Ripa navigates the world of hair trends and salon decisions, her candid revelations continue to resonate with viewers, adding a touch of humor and relatability to the age-old struggle of finding the perfect haircut.
