Amy Sciarretto — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 13:23:53 +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!
