For years, Ariana Grande has had one signature look that she’s been known for—her long ponytail.

While fans and followers obsessed over it, Grande has always been honest about the ponytail being extensions. Regardless, she rocks her long hair everywhere she goes.

She even sang about her long hair in “7 Rings” saying: “you like my hair? Gee thanks, just bought it.”

Recently, however, Grande showed fans that she could get vulnerable and show off her hair underneath all that weave.
It all started with an old newspaper article that resurfaced about 5-year-old Ariana getting hit with multiple hockey pucks at NHL games. Grande shared the photo from her youth saying that she still looks like this, without the lashes and ponytail.

So, a fan asked Ariana if her curls were still alive.

Ariana told fans that her curls are kind of there, but need to grow out from all the damage from when she went blonde last year.

That’s right, Ariana Grande has short, natural, curly hair.
