Modern Family actress Sarah Hyland has surprised her Instagram fans with a bold new hair colour she did all by herself.

The 29-year-old played Haley Dunphy in the ABC sitcom – which came to an end last month after 11 seasons – where she was recognised for her brunette locks.

Well, now you might find it a little harder to recognise her as Sarah's dyed her hair dark red.

Alongside four snaps of her dramatic transformation, she borrowed a few lines from The Little Mermaid and wrote on Instagram: "I wanna be where the people are..." #QuaranTINT crew (I did this all by myself! Very proud [smiley emoji])."

"Freaking love this! Looks so good," commented one of Sarah's followers, while another joked: "I always knew you had a pop star inside."

"Looks cool! Don't sleep on a white pillow with wet hair [winking emoji]," replied someone else.

Following Modern Family's final season, the star admitted in an an interview with Cosmopolitan that she was disappointed by Haley's ending.

Sarah noted how she'd rather see her character "own her badassery in the fashion world – becoming a badass stylist or brand mogul or anything like that.

"There are so many amazing mothers who are also hard workers and excel at their jobs and kill it every day in both aspects. That would have been a really cool thing to see, especially from someone like Haley," she continued.

The final few episodes of the long-running sitcom saw Haley settling down with her high school boyfriend after welcoming twins.

Modern Family's series finale aired on ABC in the US. The show airs on Sky One and NOW TV in the UK.
