Dina Manzo's Black Hair Transformation Is Jaw Dropping (PHOTO)

See the RHONJ alum without her signature blonde hair — and as a brunette — in a throwback photo.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Dina Manzo is known for her signature blonde hair. Dina, who now lives in California, is famous for her sunny-hued tresses. But we unearthed a throwback photo in which Dina went to the dark side. Yes, there was a time when Dina had super dark brown, nearly black, hair. 

In the old photo, Dina poses all snuggled up with her daughter, Lexi Iaonnou. Her hair is not only a dark hue, but she's also wearing bangs. We're not sure what year the photo is from, but it looks very 90's as she styled her look with a brown-hued lipstick and heavy eyeliner. 

While Dina may be more familiar to fans for her blonde hair, we have to say, she really knows how to rock the dark hair color.

Dina Manzo's daughter, Lexi, is her lookalike with brown hair

Dina's all-grown-up daughter, Lexi, wears her hair super dark. And in a recent photo is the spitting image of her mom in the above throwback snapshot. "She’s like a vintage pair of shoes," Dina shared recently about her daughter. "Timeless beauty, full of character, and only getting better with age."

These days, Dina is back to blonde, a fitting choice for her life currently on the West Coast, where she lives with her husband, Dave Cantin (picture below). 

Dina Manzo shares her hair secrets

Dina previously told TheSalonGuy that she doesn't wear extensions and credited professional blowouts for helping her maintain her look. She revealed she uses dry shampoo and baby powder to keep the look fresh between blowouts. She noted that she has a trusted stylist to color her hair since "blonde is a little tricky."
