Ariana Grande Ends Blonde Era, Returns to Brunette After Three Years

Ariana Grande has returned to her natural brunette hair color after nearly three years of sporting blonde shades for her role as Glinda in the "Wicked" film adaptation. She revealed the change with a mirror selfie on Instagram, captioning it, "It’s good to see me, isn’t it?" The warm brunette shade, featuring a touch of auburn, was created by her longtime hair colorist Francesco De Chiara, and styled by hairstylist Alyx Liu for her new "Wicked"-inspired campaign. Grande's brunette look recalls earlier stages of her career and contrasts with the blonde era she embraced during the "Wicked" promotions. Fans and beauty experts have admired the change, highlighting her natural curls and the nostalgic feel of the color, reminiscent of Dorothy from the original "The Wizard of Oz." It remains uncertain whether she will keep the brunette look for good or switch back to blonde for the upcoming "Wicked: For Good" press tour ahead of the movie premiere.
