The First Time Billie Eilish Dyed Her Hair It Was Only Half of Her Head — And Purple
From black and green to white, Billie Eilish has sported some stunning hairstyles and hair colors since her rise to fame. During one interview, Eilish revealed that she dyed half of her hair purple “before anybody else did it.”
Here’s what we know about the “Happier Than Ever” singer.
Billie Eilish is known for her iconic black and green hairstyle
Eilish is known for her unique and creative music, earning several awards and nominations in the process. She’s the youngest artist to win more than one Record of the Year Grammy Award. She even collaborated with Justin Bieber for a version of her song “Bad Guy.”
This artist is also known for her bold hairstyles. This neon green look became associated with the “You Should See Me in a Crown” singer, with her sporting variations of this look for about two years.
However, her hair wasn’t always this shade of green. During one interview, Eilish elaborated on the first time she dyed her hair. Well, half of her hair.
The first time Billie Eilish dyed her hair, it was purple
Since the premiere of songs like “Ocean Eyes,” “Bury a Friend,” and “All the Good Girls Go to Hell,” Eilish earned a few celebrity fans. Some even asked her questions during a video with British Vogue.
The Italian fashion designer Alessandro Michele asked Eilish about her hair journey. Specifically, this celebrity asked if Eilish ever dyed her own hair. The answer was a resounding yes.
“Yes, I have,” Eilish said. “The first time I dyed my hair, I was 9 [years old], and I dyed this side purple way before anybody else did it. It looked terrible. I did it with some manic panic. Of course, [I] didn’t bleach it…. so it was like a dark purple and a dirty blonde.”
The artist elaborated on what happened from there, which included another streak of purple on the blonde side. She even dyed the ends of her hair blue. Later, she dyed the bottoms red, purple, and blue. When she was 13 years old, the artist continued, she got the white hair, which became synonymous with the “Ocean Eyes” era.
Billie Eilish now sports blonde hair for her ‘Happier Than Ever’ era
In 2021, Eilish debuted a new look, corresponding with her 2021 album, Happier Than Ever. That included blonde hair and bangs, with some fans sharing their love for this change on social media.
The blonde era was a stark contrast to her black and green hair. However, it wouldn’t be the only time the artist showcased a new look in conjunction with her music. The “Xanny” music video featured this artist with brown hair and a plain outfit.
Happier Than Ever also came with an original concert film available exclusively on Disney’s streaming platform, Disney+. Music by Billie Eilish is available for streaming on platforms like Apple Music and Spotify.
