Hoda Kotb might be willing to switch up her signature hairdo in 2024.
During a December 19 episode of Today With Hoda and Jenna, 59-year-old Kotb discussed her timeless hairstyle. After admiring Trisha Yearwood's new bangs, cohost Jenna Bush Hager asked if Kotb is considering changing her own hair. "I think it's time for a change because life shouldn't always be the same," Kotb told Bush Hager, speaking about her usual shoulder-length cut.
Bush Hager asked Kotb if she would consider trying a fringe, but the idea was quickly shut down. Despite not foreseeing any major hair changes, Kotb shared that she has previously tried out different ways of parting her hair.
“I attempted to experiment with moving my part from one side to the other last year,” Kotb said as she adjusted her hair. “I think it was because people at home were saying that when I spoke, my hair was covering my face, so they suggested, ‘Can you switch it?’ So I tried switching the part, and then I felt off balance.” She humorously added that she couldn’t even “walk straight.”

In December 2021, Kotb made a change to her hair, switching from light brown to a deeper brunette after a "happy accident." She revealed on an episode of Today With Hoda & Jenna that a keratin treatment to straighten her hair went wrong, leaving it a bright orange color, likening it to "fire-engine orange" and "Bozo orange."
Ahead of the show, she got a 3 a.m. color treatment to transform her back to a brunette.
Kotb previously opened up about her hair journey to Today in March 2015.
"I always had the craziest, frizziest hair and nobody else had hair like mine. So, I always felt like the odd one out," she remembered. "I spent my school years constantly battling it. I had to practically shellac it down every day."

Although she still felt that she was fighting her strands and planning her day around her hairstyle, she’s come to love her locks through keratin treatments.
“You learn how to embrace it,” Kotb gushed, declaring, “Look, at the end of the day, it’s a part of me, it makes me who I am.”
