Hoda Kotbis now a brunette!
TheTodayco-anchor, 57, who has faithfully sported a warm blonde hue in the past, debuted her new hair color Tuesday, crediting the change to a “happy mistake.”
She toldTodayguest co-host,Sheinelle Jones, who sat in forJenna Bush Hager,“My whole family’s coming today so I decided I wanted to do that keratin treatment I like to do. It just takes the frizz out so I’m like ‘I’ll do that early, I’m gonna be on it. ‘”
She explained that her usual salon is closed, so she asked one of the stylists to come to her home. When the process was finished, the mom of two’s hair was “fire-engine orange,” she said.

“Like Bozo orange,” she continued as she shared her immediate reaction. “I looked and I go ‘What happened? ‘”
She provided the disclaimer that the stylist is “amazing”, adding, “I think it was something funky with the chemicals.”
Kotb insisted she wasn’t exaggerating and pulled out a floral Kleenex box as a display. “It was like this orange on the Kleenex box … I was like an orange Q-tip.”
