Love Island's Savanna Darnell looks unrecognisable after changing blonde locks

Former Love Island contestant, Savanna Darnell, appeared on ITV’s This Morning with a surprising brand new hairstyle.

The American-British TV personality made yet another radical change to her hair as she swapped her blonde wavy bob haircut for gorgeous brunette braids.

The 22-year-old ex-islander, who first appeared in the Casa Amor villa, made a TV comeback sporting a totally different hairstyle.

She was invited on This Morning on Friday to discuss her emotional surprise return to her family in the UK.

Now, a dance teacher who moved to New York to live her American dream last year, Savanna has changed up her signature blonde locks,

The former Islander originally shaved her head in 2018 in order to raise money for the Make A Wish organisation, a charity helping children suffering from illnesses, to make their dreams come true.

Following the drastic haircut - a tearful experience she shared in a video for her YouTube channel - Savanna has gone through several different hairstyles.

Nevertheless, the dancer seems to have enjoyed brighter colours as she did make a comeback as a blonde last month.

However, Savanna has shown that being a blonde was certainly not needed in order to have more fun.

Savanna notably used to have an adorable blonde and wavy bob haircut (This image is strictly embargoed until 22.05 Wednesday 27th June 2018 From ITV Studios Love Island: SR4 on ITV2 Pictured: Savannah Darnell.

The dancer often updates her fans through the vlogs she uploads to her YouTube channel, which has over 28,000 subscribers.

Following the sentimental reunion with her family that she posted two weeks ago, Savanna has filmed a new vlog episode where she gave an insight into her personal life in London.

She also filmed her hair journey where she first appeared in her blond braids, before ending the video revealing her new looks as a brunette.

In the video entitled “a REALISTIC week in LONDON” Savanna appeared in good spirits as she was filmed spending most of her time with her best friends while eating and, of course, doing what she does best: dancing.

Savanna admitted to struggling financially as a result of the coronavirus pandemic last year.

As a dance teacher who used to hold classes and workshops for students in Nottingham, the TV personality has had to change her entire business and teach online classes instead.

Nowadays, Savanna hosts a podcast entitled “Twenty Something & Clueless”, dedicated to the “amazing years” that “we call our twenties”.
