It was just announced that Gretchen Rossi is returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County as a friend for Season 19, so naturally, Heather Dubrow had to celebrate.
On January 30, Heather took to her Instagram to share a carousel of images of herself and Gretchen over the years, including some early years of the two on RHOC. "Welcome Back [Gretchen]!" Heather captioned the post. "Swipe for some fun memories… and some bad hair."
Moving through the snapshots we certainly didn't see bad hair, we did see some big hair, with Heather and Gretchen often rocking teased-up roots or voluminous half-up, half-down styles. Likewise, the duo also sported beautiful braids and pretty ponytails throughout the photos, along with some fashion-forward hats.
All this is to say we can't wait to see what hairstyles the women bring to RHOC Season 19.
Heather reflected on that thought at the conclusion of her Instagram series caption. "[RHOC 19] And away we go," she wrote.

"[It's] expensive but worth it!" Heather exclaimed about the products.
Gretchen Rossi's new haircut
Gretchen is on a hair journey of her own these days, recently hopping on her Instagram Stories to debut a major hair change.
"Short hair don't care," Gretchen wrote over a snapshot of herself sitting in her car after getting a significant amount of length chopped off. The West Coast mom thanked stylist Victor Paul for the "color [and] cut."

In addition to Heather and Gretchen, also returning for Season 19 are cast members Tamra Judge, Shannon Storms Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti, and Katie Ginella .
Alexis Bellino, who appeared on RHOC Season 18 as a friend, confirmed her departure in December 2024.
"When one door closes, another one opens," Alexis wrote on Instagram in a December 20 post, then citing a Bible verse. "'And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.' Love my girls and wishing them the best season yet..."
