GMA fans praise Dr Jennifer Ashton's 'amazing' hair after host proudly reveals wearing wig 'saved' her life

May 03, 2023

GMA fans have praised Dr Jennifer Ashton's "amazing" hair after the host praised the benefits of wearing a wig.

The 53-year-old looked stunning in a gray sweater and blue skirt while appearing on GMA3 with DeMarco Morgan and Rhiannon Ally.

And viewers couldn't get over Jennifer's hair, which was styled in her signature voluminous middle-parting.

One commented on a video of the star: "@drjashton's hair is looking amazing."

Another added, "Dr Jen looking fire!" and a third posted: "Her hair and makeup is so good."

Jennifer revealed last year that she began wearing wigs after experiencing hair loss three months after contracting Covid.

The TV star was praised for being open about her hair journey in a series of videos on Instagram.

In March 2022, she explained: "As I take you through my hair journey, for transparency's sake, I'm going to share everything I do and learn."

Several months later, Jennifer revealed she has decided to invest in real hair wigs.

She wrote on Instagram in November: "Hair diary: people in the hair world have been suggesting I go and invest in a real hair wig for awhile: to save my hair from constant damage, to save time and effort every day, to boost self-esteem, etc.

"Well I finally came to see the amazing @shlomimorwigs This is not the one I’m getting (it's too long and too much hair for me) but it was what convinced me to jump on the Simba hair train. This is real virgin hair, comfortable, and amazing."

The popular physician added: "I’m now viewing this the same way as I do makeup: sometimes I wear it, sometimes I don't… and just as I don't 'hide' the fact I wear makeup, I would never hide this either! Up front and be blunt…"

Jennifer recently returned to GMA3 after taking some time off over the holidays.

Jennifer spent time vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico as well as Hawaii over New Year's Eve.

She rang in the New Year with her husband Tom Werner and her two children Alex and Chloe.

Jennifer shared a sweet photo of them all posing at sunset on a boat and captioned it: "Happy 2023!"

The TV star enjoyed a skiing trip in Utah just days later.

Jennifer revealed in mid-December that she was taking a break from GMA to go on vacation.

The news came just days after she told her Instagram fans that she had quit Twitter.

Jennifer revealed that she had deactivated her Twitter account.

She described the "hate/anger/nastiness and vitriol" as "too much".

Jennifer was replaced on GMA during her time off by Dr Darien Sutton.
