"Love it!!!!!!!!!! I have been so tempted to do the same thing but have been too scared!!! You look unreal and you're making me think about it again hehe," another added, while a third commented: "Wow love your new hair, you look beautiful."
Former EastEnders star Danielle Harold echoed the sentiment: "Love the hair and love you more."

In June 2020, Hart-Simpson joined Coronation Street as a potential love interest for Daniel Osbourne, following the tragic death of his wife Sinead the previous year.
Nicky returned to the cobbles in March 2022, after applying to be a teaching assistant at Daniel's school in Weatherfield. Her return caused tension between Daniel and his then-girlfriend Daisy Midgeley, who was jealous of the pair's relationship.
Earlier this year, Nicky was reintroduced to help Daniel while he was under suspicion over the disappearance of Lauren Bolton.
Speaking to The Mirror in May, Hart-Simpson described the decision to go back to Corrie as an "easy yes".

"It's been a long slog to get on the show. I went for so many parts over the years – like shopper number two. When you're rejected for something you really want, it lays heavy. So when I asked to come back, it was an easy yes," she explained.
"When Nicky last was in, there wasn't an exit storyline, she was just dropped off in a taxi at home. So I'm presuming she'd gone to have a brew."
She concluded: "Corrie was never done in my head, it was just a dot dot dot. So when they asked me to come back with this storyline I was always going to say yes."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
