Former X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne has undergone a major hair transformation – and she looks completely different.

Known for her iconic red ‘do, the 67-year-old has bid farewell to her famous plum locks in favour of platinum white after wanting to take the plunge for some time.

She looks totally different, but it really suits her.

Uploading a before-and-after shot of Sharon onto his Instagram yesterday (17 February), professional hair colourist Jack Martin wrote: “Another great day in my career welcoming the most beautiful and elegant talk show host and entertainer @sharonosbourne for a complete transformation.

“Sharon has 100% white hair and she was colouring her hair once a week dark vibrant red for the past 18 years. she explained to me that she wanted to do this transformation long time ago but every time she attempts it ends up with a disaster.”

Another great day in my career welcoming the most beautiful and elegant talk show host and entertainer @sharonosbourne for a complete transformation. Sharon has 100% white hair and she was coloring her hair once a week dark vibrant red for the past 18 years. she explained to me that she wanted to do this transformation long time ago but every time she attempts it ends up with a disaster. Sharon was very tired of coloring her hair once a week and she was obligated to since she is on tv almost every day hosting her popular tv show @thetalkcbs . I didn’t promise Sharen anything but I told her I will try my best, it took me a total of 8 hours from start to finish to get her to a platinum blonde so she doesn’t have to be committed to coloring her hair once a week anymore. I had great time spending my day off with this gorgeous, humble, and sweet soul. ____________________________________________ Products used in this transformation.

He went on to say that the host was “very tired of coloring her hair once a week and she was obligated to since she is on tv almost every day hosting her popular tv show @thetalkcbs”.

It took the colourist a total of eight hours from start to finish to achieve the colour.

His post concluded: "I had great time spending my day off with this gorgeous, humble, and sweet soul."

Sharon’s transformation will definitely serve as inspiration to anyone else considering going white or grey.
