The 21 year old actress and singer, famed for her hit single 'Bang Bang' with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj, is known for her signature 'half up, half down' high pony tail look. This voluminous hairstyle is created using hair extensions to cover what sounds like some serious styling damage.
Grande blames her hair breakage on over-bleaching then repeatedly dyeing her hair for TV roles - a similar situation to that experienced by Lady Gaga who described the damage done to her hair by too much bleach as getting a 'chemical haircut'.
Ariana claims in posts left on her social media channels today, that she wears her hair like this, using extensions for an extra boost, because her own hair is 'so broken that it looks absolutely ratchet and absurd when I let it down'.
This is the post Ariana Grande left on her official Facebook page today regarding her hair loss: It must be tough, at times, to be Ariana Grande's scalp. It's been through a lot. It does an absolutely champion job of holding all manner of hair extensions, ponytail clip-ins and even glossy pigtails, but it's fair to assume that level of tension is a lot for any one scalp to take.
That's why it's so great to see glimpses of Ari giving her hair the TLC and break it deserves from being absolutely goddamn iconic. From time to time she's been known to let her hair down on tour. She made the most of early quarantine days to take care of her natural curls - and more recently she's given fans another glimpse into the hairstyles she opts for when she's not performing or on set.
Yesterday Ari took to Instagram to share her (glowing) review of new movie In the Heights, and for the occasion she seems to have ditched the hair pieces and stuck to a cute low chignon or ponytail. You can see a snap from the stories below. And, safe to say, she looks chic as heck.
Ari's been pretty open with fans in the past about her hair and scalp health struggles. Back in 2014 she posted an emotive account to Facebook, sharing why she usually sticks to a sleek ponytail, and it explains a lot:
"Since people give me such a hard time about my hair I thought I'd take the time to explain the whole situation to everybody. I had to bleach my hair and dye it red every other week for the first 4 years of playing Cat... as one would assume, that completely destroyed my hair. I now wear a wig on Sam & Cat."
