Fashion and beauty regrets are inevitable as trends and styles change — but Heather Locklear still has a message for her younger self: get it together, girl!

Earlier this year, while making an appearance at 90s Con Florida in Daytona Beach, Florida, on Sept. 14, Locklear reflected on her hairstyles over the years, and voiced her disdain for her '90s locks.

"It wasn’t trendy for me, it was lazy," Locklear, 63, said of her bleach blonde hair and darker roots during that era. "I would slap that girl today, I would slap her so hard — 'Get your roots done!' "

Locklear revealed that she kept "everything" from her wardrobe on Melrose Place. The actress portrayed Amanda Woodward from 1993-1999.

"Is that wrong?" she said, laughing at the time. "But [I took] everything, from shoes to the old jackets, the skirts."

Locklear also kept some of her Spin City Caitlin Moore wardrobe, too.

It's all been a welcome blessing for Lockler's daughter with ex-husband Richie SamboraAva Sambora, 27, and the actress are the "same size in shoes," Locklear said in September. "I'd force some stuff on her."
