Teddi Mellencamp’s hair is getting longer each day.
Mellencamp, 44, showed her growth — both inside and out — amid her ongoing cancer battle in a message shared via Instagram on Monday, September 22.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star brushed her mane to one side of her head in a newly shared selfie, embracing her brunette roots and platinum blonde ends.
The TV personality went makeup-free in the photo, showing off her clear and hydrated skin. She accessorized with a mix of dainty hoop and stud earrings, tying her look together with a brown hoodie.

Mellencamp has been open about her wellness journey since being diagnosed with stage II melanoma in October 2022. In February, the Bravo star shared that she was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma and it had metastasized to her lungs and brain.
In March, she exclusively told Us Weekly that she was “over” her pixie cut. “But Cruz made it a little better because he said, ‘Mom, we can get all the same haircuts.’” (Mellencamp shares Cruz, 10, along with daughters Slate, 12, and Dove, 5, with her ex-husband Edwin Arroyave.)
She underwent brain surgery in February to remove the tumors and is currently continuing immunotherapy.
