Love Island star Olivia Attwood has shown off a brand new DIY hair transformation on Instagram.
Uploading a video from her walk-in closet yesterday (April 14), she revealed to her fans that she had cut off her bangs after a few drinks.
“I cut my bangs shorter myself after three glasses (of wine) (I’m not saying you should, but I’m not saying you shouldn’t either),” the caption read.

In the comments section, three amused fans replied: “I do that all the time, who has time to quickly run to the hairdresser to get their hair cut?”, “I was soberly thinking about cutting my hair, maybe I’ll do it now” and “Haaa, I did that last week too!!”
Attwood, who plans to give birth in front of television cameras, recently made headlines for promoting the “Facing It Together” campaign against domestic violence on the show “Loose Women”.
In a clip, the reality TV star told viewers: “I wanted to be part of Loose Women’s ‘Facing It Together’ campaign because I want people to get to know the Olivia they see on the judging panel – the confident version of myself. I wasn’t always like this.”

“It would probably surprise a lot of people – since I’ve never spoken about it publicly – but I have suffered domestic violence in some of my past relationships. And I think if I talk openly about it, it can help someone else in a similar situation.”
She continued: “Looking back at past relationships, there were problems that manifested themselves in a variety of forms – from coercive control to intimidation.
“Many people will find it hard to imagine that I was censoring myself because I felt like I was annoying or too much. I very quickly adapted to the idea that the things I was experiencing were normal, or if not normal, my fault. They always find a way to make you doubt yourself, and they become almost artistic in sowing those doubts, and you start to believe it. If you hear something often enough, it becomes the truth.”
