Ariana Grande Teases A Return To Glinda Blonde Hair

The Blonde to Brunette Saga

It's no secret to her fans that Ariana Grande has been experimenting with her hair color. Recently, the "Thank U, Next" star transitioned from her signature blonde locks, which she donned for her role as Glinda in the musical adaptation of 'Wicked,' back to her natural brunette shade. However, as the conversation around her hair continues to bubble up like a frothy SoCal wave, it seems the blonde might just make a comeback.

During a candid chat on November 17 with co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Sally, Grande opened up about the unexpected challenges of maintaining her brunette hair. "I’m still adjusting and so is my hair," Ariana shared. "It’s spitting out the toner. Every time I wash it, my hair doesn’t want to be brunette. I’m not method, but my hair is method."

“I’m telling you, I wash my hair one time and I woke up with highlights. I did wake up blonde again. My hair doesn’t want it, it’s not ready yet. My hair is rejecting the toner. I’m not kidding, it’s refusing.”

Embracing Glinda's Essence

Ariana's journey back to blonde isn't just a whim. The singer-actress has a deep connection to her role in 'Wicked' and the persona of Glinda the Good Witch. Reflecting on her hair color choices, Grande explained that going blonde for the movie's 2024 press tour was a deliberate move to embody Glinda more fully. "With the first [Wicked] press tour, I wanted to celebrate Glinda in a more on-the-nose way and be an extension of her," she shared.

The image of Ariana in her Glinda phase was a sight to behold, capturing the essence not only through her hair but also with on-point fashion choices. At the final premiere of 'Wicked' this month, she graced the red carpet in a stunning Schiaparelli gown, complete with a black corset top and a tulle white skirt, her brunette hair elegantly styled with a ribbon and a chic fringe.

The Future of Ariana's Hair

As Grande playfully navigates her hair saga, fans are left to wonder if the Glinda blonde will soon make its return. Regardless of her final decision, the pop diva’s ability to effortlessly switch between styles keeps audiences captivated, blending her Hollywood flair with a touch of magic straight out of the Emerald City.
