“Wow, you look like a completely different person!” commented a fan. Others chimed in with reactions ranging from sheer amazement to gentle questioning, like, “Oh my Marie, why the drastic change?” “I’m not sure I even recognize you if I ran into you as a blonde. You look like a completely different person [sic],” commented a user. “Blond is definitely not her color! I’m sure it’s just a wig and it’s fun to change your hair color!” chimed in another.

But for Marie, this isn’t just about changing her hair color — it’s about embracing new possibilities. In an interview before her sudden hair change, she said, “If my hair gets really, really gray and I can’t dye it black anymore, I’ll go blonde!”
Behind the scenes, Marie shared how she was navigating the challenges of DIY hair care during the pandemic. With salons off-limits, she’s turned to virtual consultations with her hairstylist for advice.
“I called her up and I said, ‘How does it look?’ and she goes, ‘You’re right, you really can’t do hair, can you?’” Marie shared with a laugh.

Marie revealed that her hairstylist had been her savior during that time. “She talked me through this. She made me pin this all forward in a ponytail, and she said, ‘Now you pull it over your grays and then they can’t see it,’” Marie explained.
Despite the hurdles, Marie remained upbeat, finding joy in the process of experimentation. “It’s fun because there’s all kinds of ways you can hide things and do things that saves time and money [sic],” she mused.
Amongst the reactions from fans, one stood out: “Oh my God! You really did THAT to your hair?” shared a concerned follower. “Blonde is not you….” wrote another user.
However, amid the mixed reactions, there were messages of support, with one fan reassuringly stating, “Surprised to see so many negative comments about the blonde look. You look stunning! Ignore the haters.”
