Jesy Nelson’s new red head look proved too tough to handle for the Little Mix singer, who appeared on Friday (April 12) flaunting an abrupt return to her usual brunette style.

Nelson had dyed her hair a deep shade of red due to the recent unveiling of Little Mix as brand ambassadors for hair care company Schwarzkopf. As part of the deal, each of the group’s four members underwent a Schwarzkopf-style makeover.

However, despite this collaboration, Nelson appeared as her usual brunette self on Friday as she helped launch her band’s new nail products.

The 21 year old singer explained her reasons for ditching the red head style:

“I’m back to brown now. I loved the colour but it was just too hard to keep up and maintain.”

Nelson’s fellow band mate Leigh Anne Pinnock has also forsaken her Schwarzkopf inspired hair colour, which had involved blue tinted hair dye:

“I went for a blue black colour but I’ve let it wash out now - I’ve had dark hair for so long so I would love to change it but my hairstyle changes all the time so I can never decide. 

"I’d never bleach my hair like Perrie or Jade but I’ve always wanted to go blonde so maybe I can get a cool wig!”

The X Factor girl group have recently returned from a U.S tour and as well as launching their fresh nail range have been back in the studio to commence recording a new album.
