While she and her partner Nic Vansteenberghe might not have taken home the $50,000 grand prize on the most recent season of Love Island USA, it’s safe to say that Olandria Carthen has won an even bigger prize since leaving the villa: the hearts of fans everywhere. While she embarks on new endeavors outside the Fiji mansion, taking on brand collabs and partnerships left and right, Carthen is still leaving time for some beauty experimentation, as the reality TV star just debuted a shocking copper hair transformation.
Carthen Goes Copper and Fans Can’t Get Enough
Throughout her time on the most recent season of Love Island USA, Carthen was not only known for her will-they-or-won’t-they relationship with her now partner Vansteenberghe, she was also known for her impeccable glam looks, solidifying her as an icon in all things beauty inside the villa and out. Now back in the real world, Carthen has already been tapped by cosmetic giants like NYX, and it seems her beauty evolution is nowhere close to finished.
Whether she’s rocking voluminous curls or a sleek blowout, fans have known Carthen for her deep, jet-black strands. So, when the beauty guru took to Instagram to share her new look, fans were shocked, but pleasantly so. Taking to Houston hairstylist and wig engineer, @officialmicah, Carthen swapped her brunette ‘do for a fierce, dimensional copper look that features various hues of orange and red, making her complexion pop even more than it naturally does. Take just one look at the comments section of her hair hard launch, and you’ll see Carthen’s new look solidified her as a fan favorite, with one commenter calling the look a “tangerine dream” and others calling Carthen and Micah’s collab “the duo that everyone needs.”
