Jennifer Aydin recently rocked a beauty look that she hadn't worn in decades. Sharing the first glimpse of her lush, natural curls, The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom wrote: "For the first time in 20 years, I didn’t feel the need to dry my hair straight. Yup- my hair is naturally curly!"

But by early July, Jennifer was ready for some intervention from the pros — and a certain smoothing protein. To caption a snap of her smiling beside hairstylists Julius Michael and Artyoa, the queen of sunsets wrote: "The hair was getting too big to tame! So I came to the master of [Keratin.]"

In the first photo, Jennifer's chestnut-brown locks are smooth and straight on top; they curl gently toward the middle. The next photo is Jennifer's self-proclaimed "before" shot, and it shows her pre-Keratin coif.

With long, bouncy curls framing her face, the Turkish beauty gave off some serious mermaid vibes in the second snap. Take a peek at both sets of curls, below: 

In the comments, followers noted how gorgeous Jennifer looked with hardly any makeup on — and this isn't the first time she's shown her natural glow. In June, the mother of five appeared on Instagram in a "no-makeup, poofy hair look," and she was radiant.
