Jenna Bush Hager left Hoda Kotb doing a double take as she arrived on Monday morning to work – rocking a very different hairstyle!
The Today Show star certainly knew how to make an entrance on the first of the week’s episodes of Hoda and Jenna, rocking long hair extensions while walking out to the studio with a fan placed next to her to enhance her hair’s volume further.
Jenna looked stylish dressed in a figure-flattering blue dress, which she accessorised with gold jewelry.
What’s more, Hoda announced as Jenna walked on that celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton would be creating a different hair look for Jenna during each commercial break, something the show had never done before.
On her first look, Jenna revealed: “Guys, some of this is not my real hair, spoiler alert” as Hoda complimented her “luxurious” hairstyle.
“He put in pack and packs,” she said of the extensions. “I love this look, it’s an extra six inches at least,” Hoda said, as Jenna then revealed at the start of the show that Chris might even cut her hair, causing her co-star to gasp.
Another look for Jenna was a long ponytail and curtain bangs, which also went down well with the star. “This is look three, observe,” Hoda said.
“This is definitely the JLo,” She was screaming like Haley, when he brushed her hair,” Hoda joked. Look four saw Jenna’s hair styled in a topknot: “It’s getting shorter and shorter, and Chris is losing it,” Jenna said.
Jenna’s fifth style saw her hair styled down in a side parting, while another updo – look six – was described as “Effortless, got out of bed, like she’s pinned it herself,” by Chris. “It literally took 45 seconds,” Hoda added, while Jenna admitted: “You took out most of my real hair but it was worth it.”
At the end of the show, Jenna got her hair cut by Chris, who added some layers to her tresses. Hoda revealed that she had also had a go at cutting some of Jenna’s hair.
Viewers were then asked to vote for their favorite hair look, and the results will be revealed on Tuesday’s show.

The talented hairdresser – who boasts Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian among his clients – appeared on Today back in June, and styled Dylan’s hair live on the show. Shortly after getting her new ‘do, Dylan showed off her fresh look on Instagram as fans weighed in.

“If only I could do it just like that at home! (@photonate always capturing the moment!!) Bright blonde color thanks to @getrusso_ “
