The pop star has debuted a dramatically different style and it turns out there’s a very good reason for the sudden change.
Ariana Grande is the queen of the ponytail. At least she was. That is, until she chopped her world-famous hair clean off and stepped out with a shoulder-length lob. Yes. A lob. That is to say, a long bob. Get it?
The star shared a handful of sweet snaps to her Instagram stories, all of them showing off her brand new look and for a moment there it seemed like the whole world took a moment to stop and look.
There was a couple of reasons for our fascination. Firstly, she’s a beautiful girl who has been rocking that super long pony for as long as we can remember so it was cool to see her sporting a bold new style.
But perhaps the more important reason we were all so fascinated was this … pretty much every woman on the planet is familiar with the new life, new hair style moment. And Ariana’s sudden change of style smacked of exactly this.
You see, Ariana recently split from her comedian beau Pete Davidson and is clearly undergoing something of a life change. Perhaps her new look is a coincidence and has absolutely nothing to do with that, but we doubt it. And we have science on our side. Correct! Science!
You see, researchers at Stanford University have found that mere memories of bad hair days affect our confidence. And that’s just memories. Not even the real deal! So it’s possible, highly likely even, that Ari was not just washing that man out of her hair – but cutting him out too.
And to that we have only this to say – go girl!
Of course, Ari’s ponytail probably wasn’t entirely hers anyway. It was incredibly long and impossibly thick, despite being dyed all the colours of the rainbow in recent years so it may be that she’s simply removed her hair extensions for now and what we’re seeing in those adorable Insta stories is actually her natural hair.
But either way – this is a new look, new life moment if ever we saw one and we’re loving every second of it.
