Netflix star unrecognisable after ditching her iconic raven hair for red bob

A Netflix star looks totally different after ditching her signature black hair to go "au naturale" by returning to her auburn locks, with fans complimenting her latest look.

Laura Prepon, 43, took to Instagram yesterday with a video in which she showcased her current hairstyle, after returning to her natural hair colour earlier this year.

The actor - known for shows like Orange Is the New Black and That '70s Show - is most associated with having darker hair, but revealed she was ditching it earlier this year.

Her latest video on Instagram was about breakfast foods - as part of her cooking tutorial series #PrepOn - and she was met with compliments over her latest hairstyle.

Another follower said: "Just wanted to say that I love the new hair." Someone else wrote: "Your hair looks fantastic". A sixth person replied to the post: "Love your hair".

Laura announced earlier this year that she was going "back to her roots" and revealed that she had been wearing a baseball cap for a while as her auburn roots grew out.

She said: "So the reason I've been wearing a hat recently in so many of my videos is because I've decided to go back to red, so my roots are growing out and it looks a little crazy."

The actor - who reprised her role as Donna Pinciotti on That '90s Show, which premiered in January - told her followers at the time that she missed her "red hair".

She said: "I see pictures of myself as a kid and as a teenager and y'know coming up on '70s, and I really look forward to being back to au naturel. [...] Going back to my roots."
