Kate Gosselin got rid of her signature hairstyle (R.I.P. spiky opposite-mullet) right around the time she joined Dancing With The Stars, and we’ve really missed talking about her locks. Back then, her hair was was delightfully terrible, a fashion faux-pas that seemed to blaze a trail for millions of other sassy moms who wanted to rock what they thought was “hip” and “cool,” when in reality, it was a Supercuts special. Today, Kate’s hair is news for exactly the opposite reason: she reportedly dropped thousands of dollars at the salon to get her hair did.

The mother of eight reportedly spent $950 on a haircut at New York’s Ted Gibson Salon, and that doesn’t include the cost of keratin treatment and coloring, plus the costs of traveling to New York from her Pennsylvania home to meet with Gibson himself. All in all, reports estimate that she spent over $2000 on her hair to achieve this Kelly Ripa knockoff look. No wonder she’s still trying to keep her show on the air: mama needs her high-gloss treatments. Is this why Jon Gosselin had to get a new job?
