"It's good to have hair again" the 34-year-old former star of reality TV sensation-turned-sour "Jon & Kate Plus 8" tells People. "I never thought I'd have short hair for as long as I did. I feel like this is a fresh start, a fresh me, a fresh life... I've got it. I am now Kate Clean Slate."

"I'm rebuilding," adds Kate, who tells People she fought hard to make sure her divorce from Jon Gosselin was final before the start of 2010. "There's no option for this not to be a good year. Now I get to start over with a new self and new goals."

Don't like it.

Ok Kate.... Its about damn time.

It doesnt fit her. the short haircut (surprisingly!) was better

She looks like Momma Lohan

i actually like it.. i guess she's still on minute 12 of the 15. ugh.

LOL! True!

With Hair >>>>

she better werq

Hideous. Just wait for it to grow out, Kate. The extensions aren't working.

Furthermore, I think they're too long and are not age appropriate, or well, maybe some 34 year old women can pull off long hair but I don't think it suits Kate's "mom persona" or looks respectable. When everyone and their 5th cousin is trashing your family/parenting, I'd think you'd be desperate to get your respect back and would do everything possible not to look like a Hollywood bimbo mom.

Where the hell did she get that weave put in it? Because she don't need to go back. Her hair looks awful.
