Amber Rose Is Slaying The Late Night Hair Game

These are the photos causing everyone to do a double take.

We love Amber Rose’s signature buzz cut, but as of late, the fly feminist is using her new VH1 series, The Amber Rose Show, as an opportunity to experiment with other hairstyles. And clearly, she’s having a blast while doing so! 
Since her late night debut, the 32-year-old has rocked everything from rope twists to blonde waves, proving she’s no one trick pony in the beauty department.

The transformations began when hairstylist Tony Medina adorned the mommy of one in a shoulder length wig with old school Hollywood waves:

On August 2, the burgeoning host looked nearly unrecognizable in a highlighted brunette wig with glassy blue contacts.
“Tonight catch this new #90sSuperModel look I did for Miss @AmberRose on her hilarious new talk show” said Medina while describing the look for Instagram followers.

Amber’s latest switch-up arrived yesterday (Aug. 9), when she flaunted a head full of chestnut brown rope twists.
