We've spent the majority of the last few weeks trying to figure out if Love Island 2023 finalists Molly Marsh and Zach Noble are still dating (following those split rumours), and if this latest hair transformation is a bid to throw us off the scent, Moll, well done, consider us distracted.

For now.

To be fair, we write about hair transformations a fair amount and although we frequently use the word 'transformation' in these stories, most of the time we're somewhat over exaggerating (who? Us? Gasp) – we're usually writing about a bouncy blow dry or a cheeky two-tone. But this – THIS – is a transformation, courtesy of our Molly.

Honestly, Zach who? Zach Noble; he's monstrously tall, sexy and we'd let him dribble us like a basketball.

Anyway, Molly recently took to her Instagram grid and TikTok to hard launch her brand new hair colour; going from a radiant blonde to a dark brunette vixen and according to fans it's giving everything from The Lizzie McGuire Movie ("sing to me, Paulo" vibes) to her Love Island 2023 love rival, Kady McDermott. Eek.

She captioned the Instagram post, "WHOOOOPPPSSSS 👀😝🎀💆🏽‍♀️."

Naturally, the comments have been commenting since Moll executed the hair launch, with a huge number of celebs – including fellow Islanders Liberty Poole and Ella Barnes – praising Molly for her hair colour, but because we're heat, obv this comment caught our eye...

"Kady wannabe 😮."

Savage. Not nice, actually. But to be fair, the colour is very Kady McDermott.

Molly was surprisingly dumped from the villa on day 19 after Kady stole Zach from her, leaving her single. She made a spectacular comeback during Casa Amor and stayed on the show until the final (which heatworld totally predicted, btw).

Is Molly Marsh a natural blonde?

This isn't the first time Love Island's very own Barbie has sported some stunning brown locks...

After much sleuthing, a sneaky someone at heat HQ came across some pics of the theatre queen looking hella different with dark hair.

Rocking a smokey pink eyeshadow, a teenage Molly is all smiles in the selfie, which is still on brand with her current vibe, but rather than her trademark golden waves, Molly has straight brown hair.

The only reason we know it's the Love Island 2023 finalist is because the photos have been plucked straight from her official Instagram page.

To be fair Molly is an actual teenager in the pics and now the Islander is a full grown adult, so it makes sense that we barely clocked it was her.

We also came across a super sweet pic of Molly with blonde twins and we know it's an old pic because is red eye even a thing anymore?

The Islander is posing it up a storm with her friends and the post honestly just screams Theatre Camp.

If they ever remake High School Musical or bring it to the West End, we know exactly who should play Sharpay Evans.
