Lauren Alaina Adds Some Glam to Her Look

Amy Sciarretto — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 23:30:53 +0000

Remember when we first met Lauren Alaina in 2011? She had long, two-toned, teenager hair that was appropriate for her age.

Now, the 'Georgia Peaches' singer has tried another new look, reverting back to a longer, bigger and more glam style... and it still suits her!
