Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, 17, posted a message on her Instagram Stories requesting assistance with an upcoming makeover.The TLC star asked her fans, “Who can make a wavy/curly wig for me?”She continued, “It’s for the holidays coming up. I’m thinking maybe 40inch?!”Last month, Alana unveiled a new look during an Instagram video showing off a hair transformation that fans say makes her look unrecognizable.
The 17-year-old shared a video of herself sitting in a salon chair with Niki Minaj’s song Moment for Life playing.
The camera slightly pans around the reality star, who dons a long platinum blonde wig.
Her hair is stick straight, with little baby hairs visible near her scalp.
She captioned the video: “Just wait for the photos,” before tagging her stylist crew.
Fans were quick to comment on the new look.
“Girl!! You are growing up to be a beautiful young lady!” wrote one fan.
Another supportive fan wrote: “Wow, she has always been beautiful, but the older she gets, her beauty side does shine.”
Another wrote: “Growing into an independent young lady with so many talents, you are so beautiful!”
‘BE YOU!’
While most fans were all for it, other fans weren’t so supportive of her new look, which also included long fake lashes.
“Love you, but, this is a weird mix of cultural hair [differences]. Not for you, you are a pretty girl, keep it real! JMO!” wrote one.
“Not the best picture! If that’s a wig, get a better one,” scathed another.
Another pleaded: “BE YOU! You don’t need fake lashes, [nails] & that baby hair crapola!!”
The criticism comes after Alana showed off her lash extensions and makeup in another social media post.
BACK LASH-ES
The Lashed By Dannii entrepreneur posted a short clip of the Mama June: Road to Redemption star with her lash extensions.
The camera zoomed in on the glammed face of the former Toddlers & Tiaras star.
Alana opened and closed her eyes to tease the “fluffy lashes.”
This is not the first time that the TV star has shown her dramatic lashes.
In September, the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo alum took to Instagram and shared her natural look.
Alana fluttered her eyelids in the short clip and teased her new lashes.
She captioned the post: “These are so freaking cute! I’m in love.”
Unfortunately, fans critiqued the Dancing With The Stars: Juniors alum for trying to look older than she is.
Alana then clapped back at her haters in a TikTok video.
The onscreen statement said: “Everyone: You really shouldn’t wear them long lashes & nails! It’s really unprofessional for you.”
She mimicked the words: “Me: I literally told you chitlin eating b***hes, the girls that get it, get it. And the girls that don’t, don’t.”
BIG LANA
Alana revealed a different kind of makeover when she dropped her first rap single, SO CUTE 2.0 last month.
The TV personality, who has taken the moniker Big Lana when rapping, did not shy away from referencing the “drama” with Mama June, sharing a link to the hip-hop single on her alter ego’s Instagram account.
The song boasts about the reality TV star’s “come-up” while also praising her sister Lauryn and shading her mother, June, 43.
A Georgia judge awarded sole custody of Alana to her sister Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird, 22, in April of this year.
Alana thanked her sister during the early moments of the track, stating: “My sister saved my life, Pumpkin not sweet potato pie.”
She also referenced her mother, “Mama” June Shannon’s, past issues with drugs, rapping “You seen the drama with my mama, serious. I’ma be me Big Lana period.”
Touching on her family’s rise from obscurity, Alana rapped: “Been gettin’ to the bag since I was six, put the family on it’s been lit.”
Alana would go on to speak about growing up in the limelight, as she was a standout on the TLC docu-series Toddlers & Tiaras and later starred in her own self-titled reality show.
She rapped: “Honey Boo Boo not just a nickname, describes drip mane. Never been hype off this fame.”
Alana ended the song by talking about her current celebrity status and her life as a social media influencer, singing: “It’s Honey Boo Boo baby, views on the YouTube crazy, and I’m so cute, they pay me.”
