Let’s talk about something we can all relate to: haircuts. For Kelly Ripa, getting a haircut isn’t always a walk in the park. The beloved talk show host admitted that she sometimes dreads the process, especially after one particularly memorable mishap that left her looking like a dead ringer for Carol Brady. Now, if you’re a fan of '70s TV, you know exactly what we’re talking about.
During an episode of Live With Kelly and Ryan (yes, it was still Kelly and Ryan back then), Kelly opened up about her hair-related anxieties. At 53 years old, she confessed to the audience, “Yes, I want to get a haircut until I actually get the haircut. And then, once I’ve made the leap, I have to maintain it. When your hair is this length, it’s perfect for a ponytail. So, like, when I come to work, my hair is already done for me, and it looks nice.”
Mark Consuelos' Haircut Advice: Not Always Spot-On
Even the best of intentions can go awry. Kelly revealed that her husband, Mark Consuelos, once encouraged her to try out a Michelle Pfeiffer-inspired haircut. But as it turns out, things didn’t exactly go according to plan.

Mark, who’s been married to Kelly for over 27 years, recounted the incident with a laugh. “It ended up looking like Carol Brady, and I just didn’t understand how it happened,” he said. “I was like, ‘Wait, what happened? I saw Michelle Pfeiffer five minutes ago! Now it’s Carol Brady!’”
But here’s the kicker: Mark’s advice these days is pretty hands-off. “So now when you ask me, I say, ‘Babe, do what you want to do. Just do what you want to do,’” he joked. Of course, Kelly had her own take on that. “No, that’s not what you say. What he really says is, ‘Do what you want to do, but just know that you’re going to be miserable as soon as you cut your hair off.’ That’s what you say. So that discourages me,” she chimed in.
Exploring New Hair Trends: The Bixie
Despite the Carol Brady incident, Kelly and Mark eventually got around to discussing some of the latest trends in hairstyling. One style that caught their eye? The bixie—a trendy mix of a bob and a pixie cut. It’s all the rage right now, and for good reason. To get a better idea of what it looks like, they took a gander at a picture of Florence Pugh, who’s currently rocking the chic look.
“First of all, they never use anyone over the age of 20 for any of these,” Kelly quipped while examining the picture. “So look how cute she looks. Fashion-forward, beautiful, gorgeous. Absolutely stunning.” It’s clear that Kelly has a keen eye for style, even if she’s a bit apprehensive about making drastic changes to her own locks.
Going Blonde: A Practical Choice for Kelly Ripa
In recent years, Kelly has experimented with her hair color, opting for a slightly lighter shade of blonde. This change came just ahead of a family vacation in July 2023. Hairstylist Ryan Trygstad showcased Kelly’s new look on his Instagram page, noting that she wasn’t using any hair extensions. “My gray hair became more prominent than my dark hair,” Kelly explained during an episode of Live. “So we kept it blonder because it was more practical.”
It’s clear that Kelly Ripa takes her hair seriously, whether it’s maintaining her signature style or embracing new trends. But one thing’s for sure—she always manages to keep things fun and relatable for her fans.
