Teddi Mellencamp shows off platinum blond buzzcut amid cancer journey

Everyone is buzzing about Teddi Mellencamp’s new look.

On Thursday, the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum, who is currently battling stage 4 cancer, debuted a platinum blond buzzcut.

She shared a selfie with the fresh hairdo on her Instagram Story, tagging Los Angeles-based hairstylist Vanessa Zamora Smith.

“Let’s see how long this lasts,” Mellencamp wrote atop the photo, which shows the 44-year-old sporting minimal makeup and a stack of earrings.

On June 16, the mother of two took to Instagram to show the “real change” she has noticed in her hair regrowth from May 12th to the present day after she underwent brain surgery.

“Cancer comes with so many emotions: anger, sadness, loneliness,” she wrote in the caption.

“And while I feel grateful that immunotherapy is saving my life, I feel like I live in a fog, and I can’t help but beat myself up on all of the ways I am falling short. I just desperately want to be back to my usual self.”

On the Wednesday’s episode of her podcast “Two T’s in a Pod,” which she hosts alongside Tamra Judge, the reality star gave an update on her cancer journey.

The former reality star revealed that she will be pausing immunotherapy as she reassesses treatment and builds strength.

Mellencamp revealed that she was diagnosed with stage 2 melanoma in October 2022 and later announced that it had spread to her brain and lungs. This past April, she shared that doctors believe she has a 50/50 chance of beating the disease.

In May, she opened up about her hair, stating that she chooses to wear a wig occasionally to help keep her spirits high.

“The day to day decision of wig versus no wig. Crying days I tend to pick the wig,” the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum captioned a photo on Instagram wearing the blond hairpiece Tuesday.

Perhaps her new dye job will mark a new chapter for Teddi.
