Celebrity hair stylist David Robert Naumann is setting the record straight when it comes to Lori Loughlin’s dramatic new look.
After the Full House alum, 61, debuted a much shorter hairstyle on Thursday, April 16, Naumann, who is Loughlin’s hairstylist, shot down speculation that the new look was due to a wig.
“Cute but it’s a wig,” commented one follower on Us Weekly’s Instagram page on Friday, April 17. In response, Naumann clarified, “It’s not a wig. I’d know ;)”
Over on his own Instagram account, Naumann emphasized further that the actress had genuinely cut her traditionally long locks.
“Chop chop for Lori yesterday,” he wrote as he shared Us Weekly’s article about Loughlin’s dramatic transformation.
Loughlin looked unrecognizable when she stepped out rocking the freshly cropped bob with caramel highlights and thick curtain bangs.
The actress was attending the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Opening Gala for the David Geffen Galleries alongside her daughter Olivia Jade Giannulli when she turned heads with her fresh appearance.
Loughlin’s new look comes after news broke in October 2025 that she and husband Mossimo Giannulli had separated after nearly 28 years of marriage.
At the time, Loughlin’s rep told Us Weekly in a statement, “They are living apart now.” Her rep also added, “There are no legal proceedings underway.”
In addition to Olivia Jade, 26, the former couple also share daughter Isabella Rose, 27.
The actress and the fashion designer eloped in November 1997, a few days prior to Thanksgiving. (Loughlin was also previously married to Michael Burns from 1989 to 1996.)
“He’s my guy, he’s my person,” Loughlin said of Mossimo in February 2018 after 20 years of marriage.
She told Entertainment Tonight at the time that the key to their relationship was “communicating, it’s listening, it’s picking and choosing your battles. It’s being flexible, it’s all of that.”
Meanwhile, Loughlin’s career is flourishing and the actress returned to When Calls the Heart for the season 13 finale last month. She will return full-time to the Hallmark Channel series next season.
Loughlin originally starred on the show for six seasons, before Hallmark cut ties with her as part of the fallout connected to her college admissions scandal.
The network announced in December 2025 that Loughlin will reprise her role as Abigail Stanton in the upcoming season 14. While no official date has yet been announced, season 14 is expected to premiere in early 2027.
