Amanda showed off her completely new hairstyle after dying it just a couple of months ago.
The star kept her bleach-blond platinum tone, but added a new bright color to the ends.
Amanda’s hair featured bright blue ends that reached above her ears.
Her hair was cut into block bangs and featured a mullet-like style.

Amanda wore a casual white hooded sweatshirt which she paired with black leggings.
She finished the look with long white socks and sneakers.
The star went makeup-free and her eyes were covered with brown shades.
Amanda looked solemn as she walked through the streets alone.
Earlier in the week, Amanda admitted she would be wearing wigs to hide her natural hair.
“I’m going to start wearing wigs now,” she told fans in an Instagram video.
She wore a blonde-and-red hairpiece for the video and claimed she hated watching her natural hair grow out.
Last year, she was pictured with a buzzcut.
Amanda had been struggling with her mental health for some time, although she appeared to be doing much better just before the latest mishaps.
LEGAL BATTLE
In March 2022, her conservatorship, which had been in place for nearly nine years, was ended by a judge.
Her parents, Lynn and Rick, had been supportive of the decision.
David Esquibias, the lawyer handling Amanda’s case, released a statement written by his client that read: “In the last several years, I have been working hard to improve my health so that I can live and work independently, and I will continue to prioritize my well-being in this next chapter.”
In February 2020, Amanda announced her engagement to Paul Michael.
But after some public ups and downs, on July 26, 2022, E! News reported that Amanda and Michael had broken up for good.
He reportedly wiped his social media account of all traces of her and their relationship.
She retired from acting in 2010 to peruse a career in fashion.
The star announced a podcast at the end of last year, but quickly wrapped it after one episode.
CAREER MOVES
Amanda made her big reveal on her Instagram page as she let slip her new podcast, Amanda Bynes and Paul Sieminski, would now wrap too.
She wrote on her Story: “The 1st episode of my podcast did really well.
“I was actually surprised and of course was going to keep going after friends encouraged me to.
“After thinking about it, though, I would rather get my manicurist license and have a consistent job.
“I’m going to follow that path instead. Thank you for following my journey!”
The She’s The Man actress gave a rare life update while speaking to E! News and last year shared: “I am continuing with my Bachelor’s Degree at FIDM, majoring in Creative Industry Studies with a core in Beauty Marketing and Product Development.
“I am traveling to New York in June to work on developing a fragrance which will be ready to launch near the holidays.”
A source close to the star also told the outlet that she’s “very happy and has been enjoying her freedom,” following the end of her conservatorship.
The troubled actress has re-set her focus on her career after a blip saw her rushed to hospital in March and “placed in a psychiatric hold.”
