TAMPA – "I'm hot, hot, hot," says a St. Petersburg woman who got a new hairdo courtesy of "Live with Regis and Kelly."

"I really love this new look and I may never change it," says Rebecca Aragon, 51, who revealed her new on the syndicated program this morning in New York.

"You look 30 years younger," proclaimed co-host Kelly Ripa. "It's amazing."

"I am so elated because I got a new look and I met Regis," Aragon said in a telephone interview.

Gone are her long frizzy gray and white locks. Celebrity stylist Oscar Blandi turned her into an auburn-haired beauty.

"I went with a layer-look with colors that are low maintenance," Blandi says.

Aragon, an electrician's apprentice, is one of five women selected for their "bad hair" by the syndicated TV talk show.

Aragon sent in a video on which she said her waist-length gray and white looked like it was run through a food processor.

Aragon was flown to New York earlier this week. She says she spent most of Thursday in Blandi's salon. "They were wonderful to me," she says. "I haven't cut my hair in five or six years."

She adds that working with her fiancé as an electrician, she often wears a bandana or a cap.

She says Blandi gave her written instructions that she will take back so she can keep the new look.
