Victoria’s imposed lockdown was finally lifted on Thursday night.
And Nathan Buckley’s glamorous girlfriend Alex Pike was no doubt thrilled to be back in the hair salon on Saturday, as the city slowly reopened.
The mother of three, 44, debuted slightly shorter locks after leaving the hairdresser, just two days after inadvertently exposing her hair extensions while visiting her beau in Melbourne.

On Thursday, Alex inadvertently showed off her hair extensions as she stepped out in Melbourne.
She was visiting Nathan when she took off her baseball cap, leaving her extensions tape exposed.
The registered nurse seemed oblivious to the mishap as she adjusted her cap after leaving her 48-year-old boyfriend’s apartment.

It comes after Alex broke her silence after Nathan stepped down as coach for Collingwood halfway through his 10th AFL season.
In an Instagram post last week, Alex shared an inspirational quote about ‘letting go’ – seemingly a reference to Nathan’s decision to quit his role with the Magpies.
‘As we let go of adventures no longer meant for us, we brought new ones aligned with our magic,’ the quote read.
While Alex did not mention her boyfriend, the quote seems particularly fitting given his recent circumstances.

Alex and Nathan, who have known each other since at least the start of the year, were pictured together for the first time last month.
The romance between the new couple is said to be ‘effortless’.
‘They are happy. It’s all good. It’s just very easy and comfortable really. They have a genuine connection,’ a friend of the couple told the Herald Sun.
The source added that Alex isn’t after fame, and isn’t ‘daunted’ by the attention that comes with being a WAG either.
