Although she claimed that the dramatic change was not sparked by her relationship ending, she is a believer in the feel-good power of getting a makeover.
Shortly after her turbulent split from former flame Matt Prokop, Sarah lightened her locks with the help from celebrity stylists Nikki Lee and Riawna Capri from Nine Zero One Salon in West Hollywood.
'This has been a transition that I've been planning for two years,' the star told E! News at the end of November.

Sarah debuted her new hair color on Instagram along with the caption: 'They say blonde's have more fun. Let's see how this goes.'
Shortly before the transformation, the actress stated in court documents that she had been physically and verbally abused by her actor ex Matt for the past four years.
After the initial split, Matt reportedly threatened and harassed Sarah by phone, by text and in person.
Sarah now has a permanent restraining order requiring Matt to stay more than 100 feet away from both her and her dog.
Transformation: In November, Sarah dyed her hair blonde after a bad break-up with ex Matt Prokop
