Married At First Sight bride Melinda Willis shocked her fans on Friday by debuting her bold new makeover on social media.
The beauty CEO, 33, shared a gallery of photos to Instagram revealing her dramatic hair transformation as she bid farewell to her blonde locks.
The stunner now sports a voluminous head of freshly dyed brunette locks styled in elegant waves which cascaded around her shoulders.
Melinda looked like a whole new person in the stunning carousel of snaps in which she rocked her best angles as she flaunted her exquisitely permed ‘do to the camera.
She captioned the photo with some hilarious words: ‘Over on the dark side is where all the fun is.’
‘Another milestone on my self-growth journey. Doing what makes me feel uncomfortable and my natural self. Stepping outside your comfort zone is the best way to build confidence.’
In October, Melinda and her MAFS husband Layton Mills announced on social media they had decided to ‘take time apart.’
Over a black and white picture of the couple kissing, Melinda wrote a caption saying that they wanted to keep the matter private but decided they owed transparency to supporters who were invested in their relationship.
‘After a lot of thought and consideration, we have sadly decided to both take time apart,’ Melinda declared.
The couple were one of two pairs that appeared to still be going strong following this year’s season of Married At First Sight, with the lovebirds recently moving in together.
However, the fashion CEO revealed on Two Girls, One Pod that Layton had yet to verbally drop the ‘L-bomb’.
Host Yvie Jones spoke with Melinda about her relationship with the biotech CEO when she dropped the surprising bombshell.
‘But he’s never told you he loves you. Is that true?’ Yvie asked when Melinda spoke about defying the odds with Layton.
‘He has now, but it was in a love letter,’ Melinda confessed.
She went on to say that Layton found it ‘really, really hard’ to say the words out loud.
