Sofia Richie has grown up in the spotlight, which means that the public has seen her beauty transformation over the past decade. Never afraid to make a statement, in just 19 years on earth her hair has been every shade of brunette, blonde, and platinum (and, at one time, even a hint of green). Not to mention the social media personality has experimented with pretty much any length from her waist to her chin. Just a few months ago, Lionel Richie’s youngest daughter reverted back to her natural roots with a chocolate brown dye, groomed into a sleek shoulder-length bob.

But now, it seems Richie has tired of the length and decided to add inches to her hair, care of celebrity hair extension expert Priscilla Valles. Richie posted a video to her Instagram Stories with the new waist-length ‘do in the same chocolate brown color and middle part she’s been wearing recently. She tagged Valles, whose clients include Christina Aguilera, Chrissy Teigen, Hailey Baldwin, and even Kylie Jenner.

A shorter-haired Richie was last seen, along with siblings Nicole Richie and Miles Richie, supporting her father as he made his handprints permanent fixtures outside the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles last week. Sofia posted on Instagram that despite feeling sick, there was no way she would miss the important ceremony to honor her father. “Strep throats not stopping me,” she captioned a video from the car on the way there, according to People. She also posted a picture with her fist in the air with the caption, “We are so proud of you dad @lionelrichie.”
