Carrot Top’s curly red hair has been a mainstay for much of his career, but recently, he’s been doing a lot of experimenting. As early as 2018, he was rocking pink locks, then in 2021, he showed off a surprising ‘do that featured every color of the pride flag. In justifying the bold choice, he said on Facebook, “It’s my brand, so I can do what I wanna do!” While he told folks it was temporary, he seemed to really dig the rose hues, and in September 2023, he went all in on bright pink. He then added streaks of purple and blue and eventually mixed in green, red, and orange. “It’s kind of what I am: It’s just a mess,” he told 105.3 The Fan ahead of the Super Bowl. Revealing what inspired the overhaul, he shared how his nephew was behind him one day and told him he had a lot of gray hair. As for why he ditched the curls for a messy, tangled look, he told Bill Maher in 2023 that it came down to laziness. As he explained, because his natural hair is so full, it knots if it’s not combed daily. He also joked, “It’s dreaded because I dread every f**king day of my life being Carrot Top!”
The comedian previously left fans speechless when he straightened his hair for a Las Vegas Magazine cover in 2011. It took four hours, but he gushed, “I’m pleasantly shocked — I look really good!”
