The Today show star is rarely seen wearing her hair up, but earlier this week, she opted for a very different look during a makeover on the NBC daytime show.

The mother-of-two was captured on camera showing the before-and-after results of her new 'do, in a backstage video alongside her co-host Jenna Bush Hager, who also changed up her own hairstyle for the segment.
