Is Ella Gaines preparing for a major life moment, or did she simply decide to become a certified hair icon overnight? Because honey, we are absolutely OBSESSED with what we’re seeing on mama Joanne’s Instagram!
In the most recent upload to Joanne Gaines’ Instagram feed, the Fixer Upper matriarch shared a gorgeous photo featuring her stunning daughter Ella, and let us tell you—this girl’s auburn locks are looking absolutely DIVINE. We’re talking radiant, we’re talking voluminous, we’re talking the kind of hair that makes you immediately book a salon appointment. Ella’s beautiful light auburn hair appeared longer than we’ve ever seen it, and frankly, we’re convinced she’s been keeping some serious hair care secrets from the rest of us peasants.
The luscious length and rich auburn tone are giving us all the feels. Is this a permanent switch-up or just an incredible hair extension situation? Either way, we are HERE for it. The color is absolutely stunning—that perfect balance between copper and warm brown that screams “I woke up like this” (spoiler alert: nobody actually does). Ella’s hair is literally glowing in the photo, and we’re pretty sure it could illuminate a room without any additional lighting.
Social media has absolutely ERUPTED over this hair transformation. Followers are flooding the comments section with fire emojis, heart eyes, and demands for hair tutorials. Some are convinced Ella visited a high-end salon in New York or LA, while others believe she’s been secretly growing it out for months. One commenter even joked that Ella could single-handedly launch a hair care line right now and make millions. Honestly? We’re not mad about that idea.
The Gaines family has always been known for their effortless aesthetic and picture-perfect moments, but this hair reveal is legitimately breaking the internet in the best way possible. Joanne clearly knew what she was doing when she posted this—she’s basically given us all a masterclass in how to make your followers absolutely lose their minds over a hair post.
Whether Ella is channeling her inner rapunzel or simply blessed with naturally gorgeous genetics (let’s be real, the entire Gaines fam is), we are taking notes and filing this under “hair inspo for 2024.” This girl just became the unofficial ambassador for long, luxurious auburn hair, and we’re 100% here for the journey.
What do you think? A) Ella is sporting gorgeous extensions and this is her new permanent look, or B) She’s been growing her hair out naturally and we’re witnessing a major glow-up?
