Carrie Underwood has been changing up her signature blonde hair, and her fans continue to have mixed reactions to it.
The singer-songwriter recently shared a new selfie on Instagram to promote a charity project she’s taking part in, and she had her new, darker hair color on full display. Carrie revealed that she had dyed her hair, which is typically a Barbie blonde shade, a few months ago, striving to go back to her “natural” color. While some fans love it, others feel she should stick to the lighter shade. Read more about her new snap and hair color below.

Carrie Underwood Shows Off Her Darker Hair Color In A New Instagram Selfie
The "Before He Cheats" singer is back in the spotlight as she's getting ready to promote a new season of American Idol and has been performing in a series of anniversary shows at the Grand Ole Opry. Through it all, since August, the musician has been rocking a new hair color, which she wrote was closer to her natural dirty-blonde shade. For most of her career, she's had light blonde locks, which she let go of for the first time in years.
The new color and look were shown off in one of Carrie's latest Instagram posts, as over the weekend, she shared a selfie to promote her work with the famous children's research hospital, St. Jude.
"Every child deserves hope," she wrote under her selfie, where her dirty-blonde locks are worn down. "Become a Partner in Hope with @stjude and get your @musicgives shirt at musicgives.org and help kids facing cancer."

Fans React To Carrie's Hair Color In The Comments Section
Once the new selfie was up, the mom-of-two's fans were quick to react to it, as many of them were astounded by how "unrecognizable" her hair color made her look. Her fanbase seems quite divided, as some of them love the more natural shade, while others miss the light blonde.
"Omg she does not look like herself!" commented a fan. "Why?! She was beautiful before."
"I wouldn't have recognized her," added another.
"It doesn't matter what color her hair is; she is always as beautiful as her voice," wrote a fan.
"Natural beauty is where it's at," commented a user. "So pretty always."
We'll be curious to see if these divided reactions have any impact on how long Carrie decides to keep her updated hair color, but for now, she's continuing to embrace it.
