If there's one thing to know about Nicole Scherzinger aka, The Scherzy, it's that she 'make[s] the place sizzle like a summertime cookout'. Pussycat Dolls reference anyone? OK, but in all seriousness, alongside her vocals, dance skills and job as a presenter, Nicole also likes to provide a glam transformation on Instagram. And every single time, she serves. So, here we present yet another serve...
In Nicole's most recent Instagram post, which included an eight-part carousel and one dramatic strut, the star debuted a #BarbieCore glam moment with bright pink hair. And while the shade may be too daring for some, allow us to point out another trend: her shadow roots. Nicole is sporting dark roots that seamlessly blends the bubblegum tone with her natural brunette colour, despite the obvious difference in colour. Not to mention that middle-parting and soft wavy hairstyle. Iconic.
Kim Kardashian cemented grown-out roots as a big trend just last month and now with Scherzy taking to the style, too, it's nothing but a trend in waiting. Alongside being on-trend, it's also low maintenance and money saving, so count me in.
Hair extensions expert and stylist Davontae' Washington, blended Nicole's – what we're assuming to be – temporary locks perfectly. So much so that we're unsure whether or not it's her real hair that has been dyed. Though, seeing as the blue ice queen look was a wig, that's the verdict we're rocking with today.
And just like us, friends and fans of Nicole loved the pink colour, taking to the comments section of her posts to share their thoughts:
"C’MON NICOLE WITH THE SWITCH UP!!! 🔥🔥🔥"
"C’MON PINK HAIR!!!! 😍😍😍😍"
"Girlllllll😍😍😍. I'm screaming. Just love this look☺️"
"🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥"
"Slay on slay"
It's a 10/10 from us, Nic.
