Ariana Grande Goes Back to Her Natural Curls

Ariana Grande has said goodbye to her signature ponytail in favor of her natural curls. The star has become known for her high ponytails, and is rarely seen without one. She defended her style on Facebook last January, explaining why she sticks with that particular look, by saying, "I wear it in a pony tail because my actual hair is so broken that it looks absolutely ratchet and absurd when I let it down...And trust me, it is even more difficult for me to have to wait forever for my natural hair to grow back."

Well, it appears that the young star's wait is over, as she recently debuted pictures on Instagram showing healthy, long wavy hair. 

Ariana attributes her hair woes to constant hair colorings for past roles, and her concerns are certainly justified. Dyes can do tremendous damage to your hair, putting your locks at a much higher risk of breakage. Needless to say, I'm glad she has ditched the hair dyes, and her tight ponytails for that matter. They too can put your hair at risk of breakage. 

Hopefully the young star decides to stick with her natural look for a while, her hair will thank her later! 

 

Nickelodeon's Ariana Grande's Hair Confession

Nickelodeon star Ariana Grande recently took to her Facebook page to fight back against attacks on her hair, stating constant bleaching and colorings "destroyed her hair." It is so bad that the young star now wears extensions to hide the damage. 

Many women don't understand that chemicals like bleaches and dyes fundamentally change the structure of your hair, making it weaker and more susceptible to breakage and damage. Overusing these treatments can lead to severe breakage, hair fallout, loss of density and volume and, if bad enough, even traction alopecia. While this sort of damage can ususlly be reversed if these habits are corrected, it can still be a long process for healthy hair to grow back. 

Ariana should also use extensions with caution, as they too can cause damage to hair, especially if it is already in a weakened state. 

If the young star wants to speed up the recovery process, vitamin supplememts like celebrity favorite Viviscal and professional strength Biotin, along with low level laser therapy are known ways to stimulate healthy hair growth. A healthy diet filled with "healthy hair foods" is also an easy way to boost the health, and appearance, of your hair.
