For Amanda Batula, a new year means new hair.
On January 30, the Summer House cast member hopped on her Instagram Stories to reveal a hair refresh. "My annual haircut," she wrote over the snap which showed herself in velcro rollers seemingly after the haircut and blow-dry. Amanda tagged her stylist, Ryan Austin, who works at the IKG Salon in New York City.
In two more photos shared to her Stories, Amanda showed off the brand new 'do which she styled in a half-up, half-down look with light waves.

Though Amanda typically rocks a dirty blonde hue, she has played with lighter looks in the past.
In 2020, for example, Amanda shared photos to her Instagram Stories of some fresh highlights that dazzled up her light brunette color. “New Lewk,” she wrote over one of the photos, thanking New York City colorist Colleen Flaherty for the revamped ‘do.
Moreover, when we first met Amanda on Season 1 of Summer House, she sported a significantly lighter 'do.
When she officially joined the cast for Season 2, she still donned lighter strands, showing off her icy blonde highlights melted into a golden-brown hue in her Season 2 cast photo.
Details on Amanda Batula's "skincare journey"
Amanda is sure to take care of her skin as well as her hair.
In March 2023, the swimsuit entrepreneur shared a video of herself explaining herself after a social media user accused her of wearing her under-eye patches "the wrong way."
"I was told that you wear them like this for dark circles and puffy eyes," Amanda stated in the video showing the patch facing up toward her right eye's corner. She then switched around the patch to have the patch toward her left eye's corner. "[It's] like this for wrinkles and crows feet."
"That theory makes sense to me, so that's what I'm going with," Amanda quipped. "Plus, the skin under our eyes is so thin and absorbent I really don't think it matters what way you wear them so ... whatever way your heart desires is the right way to wear eye patches. Let's not judge one another, OK?"
Amanda continued in the video by shouting out her go-to skincare products. "While we're on this skincare journey, I was going to share with you the de-puffing mask I was using this morning," Amanda began, then guiding her followers to look for a "de-puffing mask" by the skincare brand Clarins.
In the last video, Amanda also said she was receiving "a lot of questions" about the "pimple cream" she wore on an episode of Summer House, sharing two of her favorite brands — Mario Badescu and Kate Somerville.
