‘The Baddest’: Reginae Carter Debuts New Hair Color and Fans Go Wild

T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle” star Reginae Carter is leaving the internet speechless with her hairstyle.

The 20-year-old actress blew fans away this week with her flawless appearance. She took to Instagram on Tuesday evening and shared a video of herself flossing her new copper ginger hair color. In the clip Carter flossed her loose ringlets while standing in front of a bathroom mirror in a black two-piece lounge set.

She mouthed the lyrics to Kash Doll‘s “Doin Too Much” while flipping and twirling her vibrant tresses in the camera. Carter captioned her post “Mood 🤷🏾‍♀️ @jasmine.dior on the hair slayage ✨.”

Her video received over 356,000 views and a shower of compliments.

“This color looks bomb on you 😍 @thathairchickfs I know I can rock this! You so beautiful girl”

“You look amazing ! @colormenae 🌹 keep this hair color! Lord…she looks beautiful ❤️”

“This color is IT b–ch. 🔥 pretty fall color😍🍂🍁 this is cute.. go head lil ginger u the baddest.”

“Yaaassss babygirl 😍😍🤤 love that hair color….Come on Naeeee you betta go tf off sis!”

Just last month, Carter ditched her signature jet black tresses for blue hair.

Clearly feeling her overall look, she wrote in her photo caption on Sept. 3, “Ohhhh you killed this color and wig @jasmine.dior ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍 @lahluvie on da beattt 🔥.”

Carter is receiving praise now, but nearly two months ago in late August she was the subject of a stir when fans thought she had reunited with her ex-boyfriend, rapper YFN Lucci. It turned out the person who hopped on stage with the 28-year-old MC was his preschool-age daughter. Fans laughed at themselves as a result of the mix-up.

“I thought Lucci and Reginae got back together for a min until I realized it was it daughter 😭,” one fan wrote at the time.

Another added, “From first glance I was like ‘that’s Reginae’ 🤣 but this was cute tho lil mama lit 🔥”

Since breaking up with Lucci, Carter has apparently been “glowing” more than ever. She even bought her first home two weeks after their breakup and announced the good news on social media on August 21, writing, “Today is a big day for me! At the age of 20 years old, I just got the keys to my own house 🤗 I’m a homeowner now 🎊so blessed and thankful!”

The “Heartless” MC claimed he missed Carter, but she slapped down his remarks, calling him a “narcissist.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
