But way back in 2013 and 2014, Haack \u2014 then going by her first married name, Christina El Moussa \u2014 kicked off her HGTV career on the cult-favorite series &#8220;Flip or Flop&#8221; with a much more low-key style than she typically rocks today. This included her easy, breezy hairstyle, which showcased simply straightened strands. Rather than her modern sea-siren look, Haack&#8217;s hair in this era tended to fall between her shoulders and chest \u2014 a thoroughly relatable mid-length cut. If Haack was using extensions during this time, they were definitely much shorter, but it seems that she was relying on her natural hair for this sleek, straight style.<\/p>\n<div class=\"before-ad\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-placeholder between-p\" data-ad-height=\"any\" data-ad-width=\"any\" data-ad-pos=\"between-p\"><\/div>\n<p>Since then, however, extensions have been her reality. In fact, in 2023, she took them out for a single day and got backlash from her own family. &#8220;I&#8217;ve had my extensions out for 24 hours. It&#8217;s the longest I&#8217;ve ever had my extensions out in, like, 10 years \u2014 and I know that sounds crazy, but normally when I get them out, I get them back in,&#8221; Haack confessed in a since-expired Instagram video (via\u00a0Hello! Magazine). Haack added that her sons didn&#8217;t care for her short, natural cut, apparently telling her, &#8220;&#8230; [W]e want your long hair back!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"news-article\">\n<h2 class=\"\">Christina Haack still gives fans occasional peeks of her real hair length<\/h2>\n<div class=\"slide-key image-holder gallery-image-holder credit-image-wrap \" data-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.glam.com\/1792584\/christina-haack-without-hair-extensions\/\" data-post-title=\"We almost didn't recognize Christina Haack without her hair extensions\" data-slide-num=\"2\" data-post-id=\"1792584\">\n                                             <picture id=\"p6b8091c02309faca7db734fdf45e084d\"><source media=\"(min-width: 429px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glam.com\/img\/gallery\/we-almost-didnt-recognize-christina-haack-without-her-hair-extensions\/christina-haack-still-gives-fans-occasional-peeks-of-her-real-hair-length-1739894170.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"><source media=\"(max-width: 428px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glam.com\/img\/gallery\/we-almost-didnt-recognize-christina-haack-without-her-hair-extensions\/christina-haack-still-gives-fans-occasional-peeks-of-her-real-hair-length-1739894170.sm.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image \" src=\"https:\/\/www.glam.com\/img\/gallery\/we-almost-didnt-recognize-christina-haack-without-her-hair-extensions\/christina-haack-still-gives-fans-occasional-peeks-of-her-real-hair-length-1739894170.jpg\" data-slide-url=\"https:\/\/www.glam.com\/1792584\/christina-haack-without-hair-extensions\/\" data-post-id=\"1792584\" data-slide-num=\"2\" data-slide-title=\"We almost didn&#039;t recognize Christina Haack without her hair extensions: Christina Haack still gives fans occasional peeks of her real hair length\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" alt=\"Christina Haack on the red carpet in 2025.\" title=\"\"><br \/>\n                    <\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"columns-holder \">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Young Christina Haack played her style a little more cool and casual with her super-straight, medium-length razor cuts, but nowadays, the design pro is rarely seen without tons of long, hyper-feminine extensions, whether straightened or curled. In fact, Haack is a proud brand partner to Lush Locks by Latitude, a line of premium human-hair extensions.\u00a0Without her beloved extensions, though, Haack&#8217;s hair bears a lot of resemblance to that of her initial &#8220;Flip or Flop&#8221; days. Haack shows off the transformative difference in periodic before-and-after salon videos, but we still feel a little surprised every time we see her naturally cropped lengths \u2014 and we aren&#8217;t the only ones. Haack and her daughter enjoyed a joint hair appointment in August 2014, and in the footage, even Haack&#8217;s own mini-me marvels at her mom&#8217;s truncated &#8220;Before&#8221; &#8216;do.<\/p>\n<div class=\"before-ad\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-placeholder between-p\" data-ad-height=\"any\" data-ad-width=\"any\" data-ad-pos=\"between-p\"><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"oembed iframely generic no-auto-height oembed-instagram\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C-x9izxSc9k\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div>\n<div><svg width=\"50px\" height=\"50px\" viewbox=\"0 0 60 60\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\n<g stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\n<g transform=\"translate(-511.000000, -20.000000)\" fill=\"#000000\">\n<g>\n<path d=\"M556.869,30.41 C554.814,30.41 553.148,32.076 553.148,34.131 C553.148,36.186 554.814,37.852 556.869,37.852 C558.924,37.852 560.59,36.186 560.59,34.131 C560.59,32.076 558.924,30.41 556.869,30.41 M541,60.657 C535.114,60.657 530.342,55.887 530.342,50 C530.342,44.114 535.114,39.342 541,39.342 C546.887,39.342 551.658,44.114 551.658,50 C551.658,55.887 546.887,60.657 541,60.657 M541,33.886 C532.1,33.886 524.886,41.1 524.886,50 C524.886,58.899 532.1,66.113 541,66.113 C549.9,66.113 557.115,58.899 557.115,50 C557.115,41.1 549.9,33.886 541,33.886 M565.378,62.101 C565.244,65.022 564.756,66.606 564.346,67.663 C563.803,69.06 563.154,70.057 562.106,71.106 C561.058,72.155 560.06,72.803 558.662,73.347 C557.607,73.757 556.021,74.244 553.102,74.378 C549.944,74.521 548.997,74.552 541,74.552 C533.003,74.552 532.056,74.521 528.898,74.378 C525.979,74.244 524.393,73.757 523.338,73.347 C521.94,72.803 520.942,72.155 519.894,71.106 C518.846,70.057 518.197,69.06 517.654,67.663 C517.244,66.606 516.755,65.022 516.623,62.101 C516.479,58.943 516.448,57.996 516.448,50 C516.448,42.003 516.479,41.056 516.623,37.899 C516.755,34.978 517.244,33.391 517.654,32.338 C518.197,30.938 518.846,29.942 519.894,28.894 C520.942,27.846 521.94,27.196 523.338,26.654 C524.393,26.244 525.979,25.756 528.898,25.623 C532.057,25.479 533.004,25.448 541,25.448 C548.997,25.448 549.943,25.479 553.102,25.623 C556.021,25.756 557.607,26.244 558.662,26.654 C560.06,27.196 561.058,27.846 562.106,28.894 C563.154,29.942 563.803,30.938 564.346,32.338 C564.756,33.391 565.244,34.978 565.378,37.899 C565.522,41.056 565.552,42.003 565.552,50 C565.552,57.996 565.522,58.943 565.378,62.101 M570.82,37.631 C570.674,34.438 570.167,32.258 569.425,30.349 C568.659,28.377 567.633,26.702 565.965,25.035 C564.297,23.368 562.623,22.342 560.652,21.575 C558.743,20.834 556.562,20.326 553.369,20.18 C550.169,20.033 549.148,20 541,20 C532.853,20 531.831,20.033 528.631,20.18 C525.438,20.326 523.257,20.834 521.349,21.575 C519.376,22.342 517.703,23.368 516.035,25.035 C514.368,26.702 513.342,28.377 512.574,30.349 C511.834,32.258 511.326,34.438 511.181,37.631 C511.035,40.831 511,41.851 511,50 C511,58.147 511.035,59.17 511.181,62.369 C511.326,65.562 511.834,67.743 512.574,69.651 C513.342,71.625 514.368,73.296 516.035,74.965 C517.703,76.634 519.376,77.658 521.349,78.425 C523.257,79.167 525.438,79.673 528.631,79.82 C531.831,79.965 532.853,80.001 541,80.001 C549.148,80.001 550.169,79.965 553.369,79.82 C556.562,79.673 558.743,79.167 560.652,78.425 C562.623,77.658 564.297,76.634 565.965,74.965 C567.633,73.296 568.659,71.625 569.425,69.651 C570.167,67.743 570.674,65.562 570.82,62.369 C570.966,59.17 571,58.147 571,50 C571,41.851 570.966,40.831 570.82,37.631\"><\/path>\n<\/g>\n<\/g>\n<\/g>\n<\/svg><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A post shared by Lush Locks by Latitude (@lushlocks_bylatitude)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Once her extensions are in, Haack wears them for continuous periods of around six months, so good luck catching a glimpse of her natural hair in the wild.
