What Alex Pike REALLY looks like without hair extensions

She’s the cosmetic nurse who was thrown into the spotlight after confirming her romance with great Nathan Buckley earlier this year.

But Alex Pike looked completely unrecognisable on Saturday as she unveiled her hair transformation.

In a video shared to Instagram, the 44-year-old revealed her natural short thin locks before getting hair extensions.

Her real hair is a lot less voluminous and sits just above her shoulders. 

After getting her long brunette extensions, the beauty ran her fingers through her new locks. 

The post comes after Alex revealed the secrets behind her youthful complexion and incredible figure. 

 ‘Going through all of the challenges in my life, while balancing being a mum to three boys and forever c9 weight loss being an entrepreneur, I’ve learnt the importance of self-care and self-love to stay grounded,’ she told .

In the past five years, she has shared a candid look at the practices she takes in order to achieve the best mental and physical results.

‘I’ve created daily routines and practices that make me feel amazing mentally, physically and emotionally. Some of these include meditation, walking, cold therapy, gratitude journaling and sticking to a healthy diet plan,’ she said.

‘By implementing all of these activities into my life, my energy has shifted and I’m glowing from the inside out,’ she added.

The businesswoman has been open about her face and body transformation over the last two years, which she credits to the viral #75HARD Challenge.

The extremely strict health and fitness challenge is described as a ‘mental toughness test’ which pushes participants through 75 days of rigid diet and rigorous exercise. 

It involves twice-daily workouts, calorie counting, a clean diet with no cheat meals, reading non-fiction books every day and much more.
