You Won’t Believe What Ariana Grande Did To Her Ponytail Now

Ariana Grande debuted her “alien birthday princess space ponytail” at the B96 Summer Bash on Sunday, June 26.

The pop star just celebrated her 23rd birthday and upgraded her ponytail with some major blonde highlights. Now, Grande looks like she stepped back into her music video for “Break Free” featuring Zedd. Grande gave her signature ponytail a makeover for her special day, complete with a braid and silver rings on the top of her head.

Ariana then celebrated her birthday by performing a special show at the Allstate Arena, as part of her Dangerous Woman tour. All of the credit goes to hairstylist Chris Appleton who used the Uberliss Maintenance System to create Ariana’s look, according to Hollywood Life.

“The Uberliss maintenance line perfectly enhanced Ariana Grande’s signature look. To top it all off, I added some hoops for more attitude,” Chris told the celebrity gossip blog.

Apparently, hair hoops are all the rage because Grande’s fellow diva and pop artist Christina Aguilera debuted them back in May, as reported by Hollywood Life. Now, Grande’s hairstylist is revealing to fans how they can get her sci-fi look.

“First prep the hair with Uberliss Hydrating Shampoo and Uberliss Hydrating Conditioner to add moisture and light weight to the hair,” Appleton revealed.

Next, you blow dry your hair smooth, then curl each section with a 1 3/4 curling iron to create loose waves. Create a middle part in your hair, braid the middle, and add hair jewelry or jewels for interest. Then, take a section of your hair, from the ears to the crown, and tie it into a high ponytail.

“Finish using Ubeliss RituOil for hold and super shine,” Ariana’s hairstylist added. Meanwhile, Ariana’s pink eyeshadow, black eyeliner, nude lips, and bold brows were done by her makeup artist Omar Rokael Lizama.

Earlier this month, Ariana showed off her new blonde locks just in time for the summer, according to a previous report on MTV. She took to both Instagram and Snapchat to share off her new hair color and to let her fans know that her throat is feeling much better these days. Ariana even let her hair down so that everyone could better appreciate her new hue.

Maybe Ariana Grande will start experimenting with different ponytail styles. Earlier this month, fans got to see what Grande looks like with pink hair. The singer is releasing her second Viva Glam collection later this year. In the new ad campaign, Grande is seen rocking pink streaks in her ponytail as she wears neon pink lipstick.

Ariana’s new collection with MAC will include the matte deep mauve 2 Lipstick and a shimmery light pink Lip Glass. Both of the new products won’t be available until Sept. 8 at select MAC locations and on the MAC Cosmetics website.

Speaking of lipstick, Grande received a major birthday gift from lip connoisseur Kylie Jenner. The “Into You” singer took to Snapchat to reveal to her fans that she received an exclusive sold-out Kylie Lip Kit collection, according to ET Online.

“Happy early birthday to me,” the pop star wrote in the caption. “Thank you Kylie! My [lips] bout to be so happy. loveU [SIC].”

Grande named Mary Jo K and Candy K as some of her favorites, but admitted that she can’t wait to try out the other shades. She was even kind of enough to share the huge collection with her friends and family. Her mom, Joan Grande, was seen wearing the deep blue shade along with the caption, “Queen!”

In the cute clip, Ariana’s mom said that she’s afraid that she’s not the demographic for Kylie’s Lip Kits. Ariana exclaims, “Shut up! You’re beautiful.”

Her friends then showed off the lighter shades of the collection, including Kylie’s new neon blue lip color.
