You Need to See Jaqueline Laurita's Chunky Blonde Highlights (PHOTO)

The RHONJ alum changed up her signature brunette hair for lighter locks.

We rarely see The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum, Jacqueline Laurita, wear a hair color outside the spectrum of brown. She may change up the shade from time to time, as well as the length, but Jacqueline truly is a brunette through and through. So, we were pretty stunned when we found out that she's experimented with blonde,

In a throwback photo (below), Jacqueline once wore chunky blonde highlights in her long brown hair. While the look is subtle, it certainly adds some brightness to her hair.

Jacqueline Laurita shares hair secrets

Whatever shade of hair Jacqueline is wearing, the professional cosmetologist previously revealed some of her favorite ways to wear her hair when she wants to change up her look. 

"Braiding your hair can take a bad hair day and turn it into something trendy and fun while making you look pulled together at the same time," she told Self. "One of my favorite new looks is a waterfall braid. Also try weaving in a pop of color to add some flair to your hair--Snappies are candy-colored extensions that can easily be added to your hair without causing damage. Weave one of the 10 bright colors into a braid, or use for quick peek-a-boo highlights."

By the way, Jacqueline has been candid about the evolution of her hair, opening up about her gray hair back in 2019. “I have a question. I need your opinion. I am going pretty grey here lately. Look at this. Should I just grow it in? Should I just grow the grey in and see what happens and see what it looks like? I’m kinda curious to let it grow in and see what it looks like. Or do I need to wait until I am like, sixty? I don’t know what to do," she shared at the time.

Jacqueline Laurita's current hair color

Jacqueline is currently wearing her hair long and, yes, brunette. And, in a photo recently shared by her husband, Chris Laurita, we think we spy a few, wait for it, blonde highlights. Now that Jacqueline has moved on from New Jersey and is on the West Coast, the sun-kissed look certainly fits the locale.

Jacqueline Laurita talks about her beauty routine

In the past, Jacqueline has also been open about what her beauty routine looks like and what kinds of products she uses. Her preferred products range from high-end brands like YSL to drugstore products from Maybelline.

Jacqueline, who hails from Las Vegas and now lives in California, with some time spent in the Garden State, has also been open about how crucial using sunscreen is. "It's very important," she told ABC News back in 2012. "People think, 'Oh, I just need it in the summertime when I'm going out to lay out.' … You need it year-round. When you step out of your house, you need a sunscreen."
