Mischa Barton got her hair did -- and she's barely recognizable!

The volatile actress, 24, said goodbye to her long, dark locks after spending eight hours at the Byron Tracy Salon in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.

When the former star of The Beautiful Life and The OC emerged, she sported chin-length, dirty-blonde locks and dark-red lipstick.

No wonder she's looking for a new look: last year was a challenging one for Barton. She was placed under involuntary psychiatric hold at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in July (she claimed it was a misunderstanding related to oral surgery), and her comeback show The Beautiful Life was cancelled within weeks of its premiere on the CW.

Barton will next appear in a guest-starring role (as a prostitute) on Law and Order: SVU.

    She looks great as a blonde or blond. Both spellings are correct.

    Good point, Angela. It irritates me too when "blonde" is spelled wrong. That's on my list of pet peeves- almost up there with not knowing the difference of "your" and "you're!" :)

    She looks better than she has in some time. She doesn't look trashed or hugover. You go Mischa! :)

    She looks very pretty - blonde suits her.

  • February 17, 2010 - 11:13am Angela

    She looks so much better as a blondE (it is spelled with an E, Us. Blond is used to describe males. Blonde is used to describe females. Duh.)

    She probably hopes that she will be incognito when she smokes up in her car.

  • February 17, 2010 - 10:04am s

    she's a chunky mess, needs to loose weight off that pear shape.
