The two took a closer look at how Kotb parts her hair — always on the same side — before Kotb asked the room, “Why don’t I ever change my hair?”
Her cohost asked her if she’d be open to the change and Kotb candidly admitted that she truly didn’t know. While Bush Hager insisted that Kotb has had some different styles over the years, the mom of two disagreed.
“Here’s the thing: I actually tried to [do a different part] with [moving] the part from this side to this side one year,” she said. “I think it was because people were saying at home that when I was talking, you can’t see me because of hair in the front like that.

Kotb swept her hair to the other side to demonstrate, showing the audience that a part on the other side truly throws her off balance, and, as she further said, makes her feel like she can’t even “walk straight.”
But then Kotb pushed her hair back off her face to demonstrate yet another style, telling the audience that she is willing to at least sweep it away from her face, but even that sometimes goes awry if she tries to change up where she parts her hair.
Even though she’s tried it before, Kotb hasn’t closed the door on trying something new again. She told Bush Hager that maybe 2024 is the year for giving a new hairstyle another go, even after decades of the same style.
