Amanda Bynes showed off a new black hair color as she strolled down Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
She wore a long straight hairstyle with slicked back bangs and squinted in the sun during the Southern California heat wave.
Her latest appearance comes after she announced in March that she was “going to start wearing wigs now.”
Bynes explained at the time that her hair “grew back so weird” after the crew cut.
A month later, the former Amanda Show contestant announced that she would return to manicure school after failing to obtain a license on her last attempt.
“Since I haven’t yet passed the final exam to become a manicure technician, I’ve started back in school to study manicure theory and practice applying acrylic nails before taking the exam again. That way, I’ll be ready to go when I get a job at a nail salon,” Bynes revealed.
She announced her new career path in December when she canceled her podcast with Paul Sieminski, even though the first episode did “really well.”
“I was actually surprised and of course wanted to continue after friends encouraged me to do so,” said Bynes after being torn about the decision.
“After thinking about it, I would rather get my manicurist’s license and have a steady job,” she announced. “I’m going to go that route instead.”
Meanwhile, Bynes declined to participate in the documentary series “Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” which exposed predatory behavior at Nickelodeon.
A source told TMZ that Bynes was grateful for her time at Nickelodeon and didn’t feel like she had anything to contribute.

Meanwhile, Dan Schneider, creator of The Amanda Show, has defended his close relationship with the actress after others accused him of toxic behavior.
“It was very difficult to watch the last two nights,” he said of watching the documentary series.

Schneider, 58, has also sued the producers of “Quiet On Set” for defamation.
