Ariana Grande is going au naturale.
The singer-actress gave fans a rare glimpse of her natural curly hair in a March 4 Instagram video promoting her cosmetics brand, r.e.m. beauty. In the post, Grande, 32, wears a face mask as she goes through lip products from her purse.
Her shoulder-length, curly brunette hair can be seen in the video, a look she rarely shows off. In October 2025, the Eternal Sunshine singer returned to her natural brunette hair color after three years of being blonde for her role as Glinda in the two Wicked films.

"Guys I'm going through my purse, and I think it's actually crucial that you see — I want you to know how many things in my bag are lip products," said Grande. "Getting ready for work, but that felt important to share."
Grande wears a Focker-in-Law sweater in the clip, teasing her upcoming role in the fourth installment of the Fockers film series. In the film, Grande will star alongside Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner and Skyler Gisondo. The comedy will be released on Nov. 25.

The pop star has gone through several dramatic hair transformations throughout the years. For her role in the Nickelodeon series Victorious, she dyed her hair bright red for years. At the beginning of Grande's pop star career, she became known for wearing her hair in a high ponytail.
"I had to bleach my hair and dye it red every other week for the first 4 years of playing Cat," Grande said in a 2014 Facebook post explaining why she sticks with the same ponytail look. "As one would assume, that completely destroyed my hair."
"I tried wigs, they looked RIDICULOUS. Tried a weave because I am working on a new project and want to try some different looks and literally wanted to rip my scalp off. So as annoying as it is for y'all to have to look at the same hair style all the time, it's all that works for now (AND I'm comfortable for the first time in years)" the post continued.

In a 2020 interview on the Zach Sang Show, Grande further opened up about how she feels about her natural hair.
"My real hair, which is a humongous curly, curly pouf… so few people get to see it. And it's cute, and it reminds me of me as a kid. It's who I am, privately," the "My Hair" singer said. "The curls are definitely something that I don't bring around much."
Grande's Eternal Sunshine tour kicks off in Oakland, Calif., on June 6.
