Joy-Anna Duggar Breaks Down After DIY Makeover Fail: New Hairstyle Leaves Her Shocked and in Disbelief
Joy-Anna Duggar isn’t going to be opening up an at-home hair studio anytime soon.
On Monday, October 22, Duggar, 27, posted an Instagram video of her friend, Gabrielle Patton, coloring her hair in the sink.
“I cannot believe we’re doing this. We’re going all in. Do the roots first,” Duggar shared before Patton noted that Duggar is “beautiful no matter what hair color you have” and if it ends up not being the color they can “fix it.”

“I’m probably going to go through regret then I’m going to love it or I’m going to hate it and then I’m going to go get it fixed,” Duggar explained. “You only live once, right? Might as well just do it. I’ve been wanting to do it for a while.”
Duggar then set the timer for 20 minutes before the pair went on to wash off the dye — revealing a hair color that was much darker than what Duggar had in mind.
“It’s dark,” Duggar cried before Patton noted that “it’s going to lighten with washes.”
According to their 2014 book Growing Up Duggar, Joy-Anna and her siblings were prohibited from cutting or dyeing their hair due to their family’s conservative religious beliefs.

“Our hairstyle is our choice, and we choose longer hair based on our understanding of 1 Corinthians 11:4-15,” an excerpt from the book read. “While it is a shame for a man to have long hair, a woman’s hair is her glory.”
Following her marriage to Austin Forsyth in May 2017, Joy-Anna decided to distance herself from the IBLP church. (Forsyth and Joy-Anna welcomed son Gideon in 2018, daughter Evelyn in 2020 and son Gunner in 2023.)
“We’d always talk about when we were dating that we weren’t gonna use their literature and stuff like that … Just kinda distanced ourselves,” she shared in a September 2023 YouTube video, noting that they choose to follow Jesus “alone” now.
