Michelle Duggar's Dramatic New Look For Michelle Duggar's 46th birthday, her kids and childhood friend gave her a huge surprise: a haircut. The star of TLC's "19 Kids & Counting" was treated to a makeover, in which she lost eight inches of hair and had her curls temporarily straightened. But while her kids thought it looked great, her husband said he liked the old look, and she returned to it after her birthday festivities.
