“I haven't been feeling like myself with dark hair. It’s just my personality,” she told the camera, holding up her new “dirty blonde” extensions that she planned to use. Once she got to the salon, her stylist got Cassidy to go even “darker.”
“The blonde is not in the room with us,” Cassidy said while debuting her finished look.
