Modern Family Star Ariel Winter Shows Off a Dramatic New Look Without Her Signature Brunette Hair

Red wasn’t the only bold color we’ve seen as part of Ariel Winter’s stunning transformation. Also in 2020, the star — who’s actually a natural dark blond – channeled Marilyn Monroe when she dyed her hair platinum blond and cut it to shoulder-length, which made her look dramatically different once again. The “Sofia The First” voice actor shared photos of her new look on Instagram and compared herself to “Game of Thrones”‘ Daenerys Targaryen in the caption. “Winter Is Coming!!!!!!!!!!!,” she wrote. Fans couldn’t get enough of her much lighter tresses, as one told her in the comments, “The blonde suits you! You look gorgeous!” 

But with so many drastic transformations under her belt, Winter is aware she needs to keep her tresses in good condition to avoid the telltale signs of hair damage and ensure her colors stay vibrant. “I put a lot of conditioner on it. I am serious about conditioner. I also started putting argan and coconut oil on the ends of my hair,” she told Allure, and coconut oil can actually have multiple uses in your beauty routine. “I put it on almost every night. I braid my hair and I go to sleep like that. It helps keep it healthy for all the styles I want to try,” she said.
