Why did Dancing With the Stars judge Julianne Hough decide to dye her blonde hair pink this week?

'Dancing With the Stars' Pro Derek Hough Reveals What Julianne 'Rubbed In My Face'

Hough, who is known for making bold choices with her hair, debuted her new pink locks in a new Instagram photo on Tuesday.

"Pink hair don't care!" she said in the caption of the photo. "Check out my new fun hair and get @riawnacapri's fabulous tips on becoming a 'unicorn.' juliannehough.com (link in profile)".

Some of Hough's followers were confused and upset by the development, with many commenting "why?" while others loved her new look.

On her website, Hough went into more detail about why she chose to dye her hair such a vibrant color.

"It was time to shake things up. So I went...PINK!!!!" she wrote. "I love to experiment with my looks by way of beauty products, styling tools and sometimes even taking things a step further -- remember last year when I chopped off all my hair? It was a big, bold move but it was so worth it! It felt liberating not to hide behind all that hair. So why did I decide on the color pink this time? Because pink is the color of kindness!"

It remains to be seen if Hough will be keeping her hair pink, and how long this will last, but the general public will likely get to see her new look for the first time on Monday's episode of Dancing With the Stars.

Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
