On yesterday’s episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Ripa shared that she got her hair colored the day before in an attempt to cover her gray hairs. However, she revealed that it didn’t work the way she wanted — a struggle many women can relate to at some point in their lives.
“It’s still gray,” she told her husband and cohost, Mark Consuelos.
“It’s not gray,” he insisted.
Ripa then confessed that she spent hours on hours getting her hair done with no success. “I spent, I don’t mind telling you, about 11-teen hours in the hair color chair yesterday,” she told the audience.

The host then pointed out that the only reason the grays weren’t visible while recording is because she sprayed them that morning.
“We sprayed the roots with the darkening spray,” she revealed. “So I don’t know what to do at this point. Do I just become full Mrs. Claus, or what am I doing?”
At this point, Consuelos encouraged his wife to “try out the gray.”
“I don’t think I’m there yet,” she responded. “I told you, my hair isn’t like, it’s not a great gray. It’s almost translucent. It’s like my hair is see-through. What is it called? Those cellophane noodles. That’s what my hair looks like. What do I do with that?”
This isn’t the first time Ripa has complained about her, which she claims “wants to be gray.”
“It takes hours and hours,” she said a few weeks ago. “And I swear this morning, I still see gray hair. My hair wants to be gray. It just wants to be gray.”
Still, however, she doesn’t seem quite ready to fully transition just yet.
