Heather Maltman looks completely different to when she appeared on The Bachelor

Heather Maltman has transformed herself after first finding fame on The Bachelor back in 2015.

The 35-year-old showed off her bold new look in a post on Instagram on Tuesday to celebrate her birthday.

Heather first appeared on the hit reality series with long light brunette hair with blonde balayage on the ends.

Her hair was relatively straight, with just a few waves blow dried in for some body.

Since then, Heather has opted for a darker hue, and has styled her hair curly, injecting plenty of volume into her strands.

‘Happy Birtday [sic] 8th of December b*****s. Have a kick a**e day. Let the mane down and have a drink on me,’ she captioned the photo of herself.

Heather first debuted her new hairdo in November, showing off her curly dark locks in a post on Instagram.

‘Hi Heather, this is the 80’s, and we’d like our hair back please? Actually, that frost blue shadow and red lip belongs to us too. So. Just drop it back when you’re done. Thanks,’ she captioned the post.

In a separate post on Instagram in October, Heather revealed she’d given herself a mini makeover during lockdown.  

‘You want to know the cost of a DIY Quarantine make over, so you’re ready upon exit for human interaction,’ she began.

‘Hair: box colour $24 self done blending. And I cut it all by myself. Eyebrows: @cleanbeautymarket products. Skin: bit of balcony sun and chemical free products. Facial: @andalounaturals_au pumpkin zing.’

She added: ‘Exfoliate and sleep like a baby. $24 cause I’m a cheap a**e mole.’
