The Bachelorette's Brooke Blurton unveils major hair transformation

The Bachelorette star Brooke Blurton has updated her look for the new year in a major way. The brunette, 28, swapped her trademark shoulder-length bob for a long, ‘mermaid’ styled hairdo.

The reality TV star stunned after adding 22 inches of wavy hair extensions which cascaded around her face.

Brooke was all smiles as she showed off her new locks on Instagram, posing in a simple outfit to draw attention to her hair. She wore a tan knit vest which was tucked loosely into a high-waisted skirt with pleats.

Her accessories were also kept light, opting for just small gold hoop earrings and a delicate chain necklace with one white bead.

“It’s probably my best-kept secret,” she said. “Yes, I have had my boobs done. I haven’t had any other plastic surgery or cosmetic stuff done.

“I didn’t purposely get them for The Bachelorette, obviously. For me, I had always had this sporty masculine body and I was like, ‘I really want boobs’. I never had them, I was really self-conscious of my boobs, so I was like, ‘F**k it!’.”

Brooke went on to describe the process as “the most painful surgery” she had ever experienced, and she didn’t want to go “super big”.
