Kai Trump, the granddaughter of Donald Trump, has debuted a new light hair transformation online, drastically switching up her usual look.

The trending 19-year-old shocked her fans and followers last week when she shared an Instagram reel of herself sitting in a hair salon and undergoing the process of lightening her hair color from an almost dirty-blonde or light brunette to a new blonde shade. In the comment section, some of her supporters and fans began weighing in on the difference, with some opposing it and adding that they prefer her with her natural color.

Kai Trump Debuts New Blonde Hair Color & Shares Hair Salon Video On Instagram

The 19-year-old granddaughter of Donald Trump, and the eldest child of Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife, Vanessa, has become a notable face in American political culture during her grandfather’s second administration as president.

Aside from her golfing content, recently committing to playing Division I college golf at the University of Miami, social media users and Trump family friends enjoy seeing her life updates as the granddaughter of one of the most influential people on the planet. Last week, she decided to share content from a recent trip to the hair salon, where she underwent a “hair transition,” as she wrote in her caption.

On June 3rd, Kai posted an Instagram reel of herself lip syncing to a viral Hannah Montana song in between the process of lightening her hair, which was previously a natural, darker shade. By the time she was finished, she had light blonde hair, completed with summer-inspired highlights.

Fans & Followers React To Kai's New Hair Color

After the competitive golfer's Instagram reel was shared with the public, as per usual, followers, fans, and Trump supporters began weighing in on it in the comments.

 

Her new blonde hair color garnered some mixed reviews. Though some fans thought it looked great, flattering, and was perfect for the summer season, others weren't as into it and left comments on how they thought her natural, darker shade was more suitable for her look.

 

"So fun for the summer!" commented a fan.

 

"Looking fabulous," added another.

 

One user wrote, "You look amazing, Kai! Blondes have more fun anyway."

 

On the other side of the spectrum, one user commented, "Your natural hair color looks good on you."

 

"Darker suits you better," added another.

 

We'll be curious to see if Kai ends up keeping her blonde hair throughout the rest of the year, or if she only has it for the warmer months before returning to her more natural shade.
