Mikayla Nogueira is embarking on a fresh chapter. The renowned TikTok star unveiled a transformed hairdo for the first time in more than a decade, swapping her signature jet black hue for a captivating chestnut brown. In a video posted on TikTok on August 26, Mikayla, clad in a minimalist white tank top and a tanned baseball cap, flaunted her former color while seated comfortably in her car outside the salon. "I've had black hair for well over a decade," she reminisced in the clip. "I'm just over it. I'm eager to embrace something new."
The content creator then meticulously documented her stylist's intricate process of transforming her locks through a mesmerizing montage. Her strands underwent a bleaching session and were subsequently glossed with two warm brown shades before seamlessly integrating extensions that harmonized perfectly with the new tones. "She skillfully blended three distinct hues to achieve the ideal look," Mikayla said of her transformation. "I believe this color is absolutely stunning. It's a world away from the jet black I used to wear."
Highlighting that her appearance now stands out as "so unlike anything I'm accustomed to," the 27-year-old emphasized, "I no longer have black hair."
Furthermore, Mikayla's fondness for her new look has only deepened with time. In a separate TikTok video, the influencer pondered over her feelings about the transformation while preparing for a Tate McRae concert. "I'm sorry, but the brunette hair—I genuinely feel like a different person, and in the best way possible," Mikayla shared. "I feel like it suits me incredibly well to the point where I can see myself keeping this hair color for the long haul." She added, "I've experimented with various hair colors and eventually reverted to black, but I don't foresee that happening with this one."
Indeed, Mikayla has been embracing other changes in her appearance lately as well. In January, she revealed that she had shed 60 pounds on her weight loss journey, crediting it to a "calorie deficit" diet and "making wiser food choices." In fact, the transformation in her figure has been such a significant adjustment that Mikayla, who tied the knot with her husband Cody Hawken in 2023, shared that she needed to get her wedding rings resized. "Due to losing 60 pounds, this ring now looks enormous on me," she said in a TikTok video on January 28. "I either need to get it resized or perhaps consider a new ring, as it's too big."
