Alyson Hannigan goes back to red... but shows off new shorter and lighter 'do as she shops for beach toys



Just over a month ago, she was seen ditching her signature red locks in favour of a brunette look.



But it didn't take long for Alyson Hannigan to ditch the darker tresses for an even lighter hue.



The 40-year-old star was seen leaving a CVS pharmacy and drug store in Los Angeles on Thursday with shorter, orange-coloured hair.

She was at the store picking up several items including plastic beach toys, which were just a bit brighter than her new 'do.



As always the former How I Met Your Mother star seemed to be in good spirits as she smiled while carrying her new purchases to her black Tesla vehicle.



Alyson went for an all denim look as she wore a light blue button-down tucked into a jean skirt on the outing along with a pair of strappy sandals.

She accessorised the look with a bright red totebag and a pair of large, black sunglasses on her face.



The American pie star seemed to have minimal make-up on her face and her new haircut flowed down to just under her chin.



If the red tote bag and toys to mold sandcastles are any indication, it appears as if Alyson was planning for a beach day with her two daughters Satyana, aged five, and two-year-old Keeva.
