Brittany Cartwright is ending 2025 with a bang… or bangs to be more precise. The Valley cast member took to Instagram on Friday, December 5, to show off her jaw-dropping hair transformation courtesy of Bradley Leake, her longtime friend and go-to stylist.
“Warning: freshly cut bangs may cause uncontrollable flirting,” she captioned the post.
The carousel included photos of Brittany posing inside her San Fernando Valley home, rocking wispy bangs and long, loose curls in her signature bronde color. She completed the look with a sexy all-white ensemble and stunning evening glam credited to Los Angeles-based makeup artist Anais Cordova.

Brittany Cartwright receives a “mommy makeover” plastic surgery
Brittany’s hair change came just months after she underwent a custom “mommy makeover.” She teased the plastic surgery back in October, when she posted mirror selfies of her bandaged stomach. Brittany later confirmed she had liposuction, a tummy tuck, a breast implant revision, a breast lift, and abdominal reconstruction.
She spoke about the all-in-one procedure during the October 10 episode of her When Reality Hits podcast, saying she was absolutely thrilled with the results.
“It’s not easy. I will say the first couple of days, the first three or four days were terrible,” she admitted. “I look at it as the pain is temporary, but the surgery is life-changing. So I 100% think it’s worth it. I would definitely do it again… I’m still in pain, not going to lie.”

“I thought this was perfect timing,” she said about the mommy makeover. “I think I deserved it, and I really wanted to do it for myself. And I couldn’t be happier with my decision… I wanted to feel good on the inside and the outside. After everything I’ve been through, I feel like I deserved it. I wanted to do it for me.”
