Summary
1000-lb SistersstarAmy Slaton’s got a heart of gold, as well asa creative hair look that echoes the artist within. For years,Amy (who loves making beaded crafts), was the shoulder that Tammy Slaton cried on. In season 18, it was Amy’s turn to need help. She was living with mental illness. The pressures of a failing marriage, caring for two kids under two, and trying to stay at a lower weight were exhausting her. Now, she’s a single woman who’s showing off her personal style on Instagram and TikTok.
In a psychedelic pop song from 1969,Crystal Blue Persuasion, Tommy James sings:
A new day is coming (ooh, ooh)
People are changing
Ain’t it beautiful? (Ooh, ooh)
Crystal blue persuasion
Amy’s starting to feel the magic that isCrystal Blue Persuasion. Her blue hair isn’t new, but how she carries herself has changed. Amy got help for her acute anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder and depression. She bravely faced her problems, consulting with a doctor. That medical professional worked wonders. While she still has ups and downs (one low point wasAmy’s seeming breakup with Kevin), she’s mentally tougher than she was in the season. Even when she cried and seemed defeated, she was a strong woman.
Blue Is The Warmest Color
Amy’s Flushed & Happy With Bright Blue Locks
Amy’s tried a variety of cool shades, from bright cobalt to deep indigo to rich violet.Although these hues are technically “cool” in terms of where they’re at in the color spectrum, they signify thepassion that burns inside of Amy. Her creative soul comes out when she uses wild hair dyes to show her style. So, for Amy, blue is the warmest color. In the photo gallery shown above, Amy looks radiant with colorful hair. Maybe her true hair color would bring out her natural beauty more, but she’s expressing who she is through her blue tresses.
Amy’s hair transformations tell a story about her personality.
If Amy wanted a normal life, she would have stayed with Michael Halterman instead of bailing out. Amy left because she didn’t want to settle for a relationship that made her unhappy. Since her children were so young, what she did took courage. She knew that instead of getting minimal help with parenting from a live-in husband, she’d be doing it mostly alone. Today, Michael sees the kids sometimes, but it seems like Amy’s their primary caregiver.
Amy, an intense Scorpio, is all about power, lust and control. She’s learning to control herself - when she reached out for help from a doctor, she moved closer to the kind of self-control that Scorpios crave.More than any other sign except Leo, Scorpios hate to feel powerless.Amy’s crass sex jokes show the libidinous Scorpio spirit. When she took the reins as a single mother, Amy ruled her own home. She had all the power. Learn about Amy’s weight-loss journey in the clip shown above.
All these choices show grit and a strong sense of self. Amy’s bright hair color does reflect what’s inside. The beauty of personal style is that it can offer intriguing clues, showing others facets of a person’s character. That’s why people should wear what they like.

She did so while leaving a series of barely cryptic posts that were probably about a split with Kevin. She has claws, and occasionally, they are unsheathed.
In one post,Amyappeared to reference her weakening feelings for Kevin. She may have been passive-aggressively calling out Kevin for disappointing her. Her TikTok featured these words:
A woman will always have one boy that she never loses feelings for… Her son.
This may have hurt Kevin’s feelings, but Amy doesn’t care. She says what she wants to say. She does her hair how she wants. Amy is her own person. Even while depressed, she had a core of strength. She continued looking after her children. This steely core helps her to survive. It’s always there, whether she has tears in her eyes or not.
Amy gets the blues but she never, ever surrenders.
