Hayden Panettiere went on Instagram to show off her brand-new hue. "Love my new watermelon 🍉 vibes up top!" she captioned her brightly colored pic. Her roots are tinted a light shade of green, which pairs astonishingly well with the actress' green eyes, and the rest of her strands look like they were dipped in pink candy. The tousled, shoulder-length cut and barely-there bangs perfectly accentuate the summery color. The person responsible for Paniettere's multicolor look is hair stylist Eric Orellana. Orellana shared Panettiere's dye job on his own Instagram account and tagged the picture with #unicornhair.

The bright color is a whole new look for the former child star. Panettiere has kept her hair buttery blonde for the majority of her career, but most of her fans have no qualms about her current shade. Her Instagram followers gushed over the new look in the post's comments. "Oh I love the fun hair sooooo much and it's perfect rolling into Breast Cancer awareness month," one fan wrote. Another commented, "Watermelon def suits you!" 

Best of all, Panettiere looks amazingly healthy in her recent pic. Her skin is absolutely glowing, and we can't get over just how happy she looks.
