Country legend Reba McEntire, known for her fiery red curls and dynamic stage presence, recently debuted a new hairstyle that has caused quite a stir on social media. The 68-year-old star, who has experimented with different looks throughout her career, opted for a straighter hairstyle that has garnered mixed reviews from her followers.
In a playful Instagram video, Reba McEntire humorously explored the dressing room of pop duo Dan + Shay during the 25th season of The Voice. However, while the video was intended to showcase McEntire’s comedic side, it unintentionally drew attention to her new hairdo.
Critics wasted no time expressing their opinions, with comments ranging from “Her hair looks terrible. Makes her look old” to “Not loving the hairstyle. Too flat on your head like a helmet.” Even fans who adore McEntire voiced their disapproval, saying things like “Love ya but this flat hair has to go” and “You are beautiful but the haircut [is] not you.”
Throughout her career, McEntire has been known for her curly, voluminous hair, which has become a symbol of her vibrant personality on and off stage. In a past interview, she revealed that she no longer styles her hair as high as she used to and her friend often urges her to ditch the big hair.
Despite the mixed reactions to her latest hairstyle, Reba McEntire has always had a fearless approach to self-expression. While some may prefer the “old Reba” with her fluffy curls, I believe her new ‘do reflects her dynamic personality.
