Rare Times Christina Haack Switched Up Her Signature Hair Look
Christina Haack's hair transformation may be a sight to see, but the popular HGTV star has undoubtedly found her signature look and stuck with it. The house flipper is almost as well-known for her long, blond locks as she is for her work on the home improvement channel (and her high-profile divorce from Tarek El Moussa). More often than not, her long mane is parted in the center and styled into glam, loose waves, and it's no secret how much she loves bulking up her locks with hair extensions. Haack even revealed in a joint 2013 Instagram post with her salon, Latitude 33 Hair Artistry, that she had 20-inch extensions installed.
But, sometimes, the "Christina on the Coast" star strays from her signature hair look, and we've got the photo evidence to prove it. Though she may not be a full-on hair chameleon like Miley Cyrus (who's had a few hair looks that made us cringe), she's still tried a handful of different styles over the years. From loose updos to braided ponytails, these snaps prove the former "Flip or Flop" star is no one-trick pony.
Christina Haack pulled her hair into a messy up-do for a workout
Though Christina Haack wears her hair down most of the time, she pulled it back for a workout and mirror selfie shared on Facebook in 2025. The star left her curtain bangs down and straight, but the bulk of her locks were up in a messy bun with several straight strands hanging down at the back. The unkempt style marked quite the change for the star, who usually doesn't have a hair out of place when her mane is down and wavy.
We got a rare look at her hair up in 2020, too
Christina Haack's hair was pulled back again as she posed alongside her son in an adorable 2020 Instagram snap. She wore her blond tresses in a messy bun for what appeared to be a family pool day, but left two thin strands down either side of her forehead to frame her face. The updo highlighted the tonal dimension in her locks, with her strands noticeably darker around her roots.
Her locks were short and straight when she first appeared on HGTV
Christina Haack's hair was so different when she made her HGTV debut in 2013. Her poker-straight, bright blond tresses were cut into a side-part lob that just reached her shoulders, with heavy layers around her face and a slight flick out at the blunt ends. Haack, who was then known as Christina El Moussa, hadn't discovered her penchant for curtain bangs yet and sported feathered side bangs instead.
Her hair was curlier and styled into a side part at the Daytime Emmy Awards
In 2017, Christina Haack walked the red carpet at the Daytime Emmy Awards with long, wavy hair that was a pretty close homage to her classic look. However, there were a few noticeable differences. She'd curled her strands tighter than the loose waves that would become her signature, and she sported a heavy side part and volume-packed sideswept bangs instead of her go-to, precise center part.
Christina Haack served glam with an over-the-shoulder hair look
During a 2017 photoshoot, Christina Haack tried another new hair look with a rare, over-the-shoulder style. The star's blond tresses were styled with plenty of volume at the root, thanks to a deep side part originating from the right side of her face. Her locks, which had an undone wave, were then pulled over her left shoulder to create a glam look we've not seen much of from the HGTV star before or since.
Her hair was once super straight with a pompadour
Christina Haack made another rare hair departure in 2017 when she posed alongside her friend Shannon Houston in an Instagram snap. Haack's long hair, which had very light highlights throughout, was super straight. She'd slightly turned the ends inward, but the real statement was the large, voluminous pompadour just above her forehead. This look marked one of her biggest strays from her signature style, so much so that we barely even recognized "The Flip Off" star.
She stunned with a braided ponytail
Christina Haack was all about the braided ponytail in 2022. The star's boho-inspired hairstyle involved a loose, large braid that ran down the right side of her head with a few strands pulled out for a casual, undone look that framed her face. The braid led into a low ponytail with a good amount of volume around her crown. Her hairstylist kept the look polished by camouflaging Haack's hair tie by wrapping a piece of hair around it.
Christina Haack once tried a straight, half-up, half-down style
Though casual isn't how we'd describe Christina Haack's usual hairstyles, her 'do on Instagram in 2018 certainly was. While posing with Cara Clark, Haack wore her locks in a half-up, half-down style. Her center part was still present, as were her long curtain bangs, which swooped down either side of her forehead. Her mane was also a few inches shorter than her trademark look. It's not clear if she was wearing extensions, but her shorter tresses sat in line with her chest.
