Melissa Claire Egan Changed Her Hair Again — See Her Hot New Red Color!

By Chris Eades

Tags:

Over the years, actress Melissa Claire Egan has sported a number of different hairstyles and colors, and now she’s changed it up again, going red! “Decided to go red in honor of Prince Harry and the upcoming nuptials,” the actress joked on Instagram. “Just kidding. But I sure do love switching it up. Thanks Audrey Rae and everyone at @ra_hairhouse for dealing with me and my constant impromptu decisions!”

Egan became a daytime star for her work as Annie Lavery on ABC sudser ALL MY CHILDREN, a role she played from 2006-11. Following that run, she starred on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS as Chelsea Lawson, leaving the soap in March of 2018 after almost seven years in Genoa City. And her fans who want to see her on screen again are sad that this color change was just for fun and not an exciting new role. “You gotta give me a little break!” Egan responded on Twitter.

During her career, Egan has sported a number of different hairstyles, from blonde to brunette, curly and straight, long and short, but always looks absolutely stunning in every single one of them. And this fabulous red hair is no exception. Gorgeous!

Check out some of Egan’s most beautiful hairstyles during her daytime career in the gallery below!
