FYI: Kelly Ripa 'Didn't Ask' For People To Give Their Opinions On Her Hair

It all started at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic when, like millions of other women, she was unable to visit her hairstylist for her usual root touch-up.

This caused her to do the impossible and embrace her greys.

"#rootwatch week 8," she shared on Instagram in 2020. Just goes to show that when life gives you lemons, embrace the grey!

But once Cher announced her plans for never letting her hair go grey in January 2022, she changed her tune.

"While publicly I was using brown eyeshadow to paint my roots some shade that wasn’t Santa Clause white,” Ripa told co-host Ryan Seacrest.

In the end, she proclaimed that she was sticking with her blonde roots and even encouraged other women to do so.

"I think certain people look great with their gray hair," Ripa continued. "I think it depends on the person. I really do."

It all started on a recent episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan when Ryan Seacrest shared that he had grown out his hair for a special pre-taped Oscars performance.

“We’ll survive, it’ll be fine,” Seacrest responded.

This prompted Kelly to share that people will often offer their unsolicited advice about her own hairstyle choices.

“I thought you meant at the store, like, do people come and weigh in?” Seacrest asked.

“They come up in the store and they’re like, ‘I like your hair this length,’ and I’m like, [gives the thumbs-up sign].” Seacrest encouraged her to keep doing this.

The show's producer, Michael Gelman, even chimed in on the conversation, saying that it's their decision what they do with their hair.

It is their decision on what length they keep their hair, the color, and the style.

Unless Kelly specifically asks for your opinion, do her a favor and kindly butt out!
