Kelly Ripa Hesitates To Cut Her Hair Short Again After Getting a Botched Carol Brady Haircut
On the Wednesday, January 17, episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, the 53-year-old TV host told husband and co-host Mark Consuelos that she is hesitant to cut her hair short again after he once encouraged her to get 'a Carol Brady haircut.'

'I encouraged her to get a Michelle Pfieffer haircut,' replied Consuelos, 52. 'It ended up looking like Carol Brady. I just didn’t understand how it happened,' after which Ripa and the audience erupted into laughter.
Consuelos continued, 'I was like, ‘Wait, what happened, I saw Michelle Pfeiffer five minutes ago! Now it’s Carol Brady!’ So now when you ask me, I say, ‘Babe, do what you want to do. Just do what you want to do.’ '
'No, that’s not what you say,' Ripa refuted. 'What he says is, ‘Do what you want to do, but just know that you’re going to be miserable as soon as you cut your hair off.’ That’s what you say. So that discourages me.'
The Bixie Trend
At another point during the episode, Ripa discussed a new hairstyle trend called the 'bixie' — a cross between a bob and a pixie cut — and held up photos of women (including Florence Pugh) sporting the coveted look.
'First of all, they never use anyone over the age of 20 for any of these,' Ripa joked. 'So look how cute she looks. Fashiony, beautiful gorgeous. Gorgeous, amazing.'
