It should come as no surprise that Ariana has been asked this question before. In 2014, according to USA Today, she took to Facebook to explain why she wears her hair in a ponytail all of the time.
She explained that it has to do with the damage her hair has seen over the years. And, at least back when she wrote the Facebook post, she saw her high ponytail as a way to cover that damage up.
“I had to bleach my hair and dye it red every other week for the first four years of playing Cat,” she said. “As one would assume, that completely destroyed my hair. I wear it in a ponytail because my actual hair is so broken that it looks absolutely ratchet and absurd when I let it down.”
Now, seven years after her post, which she wrote right after Nickelodeon’s Sam & Cat, Ariana’s hair is likely much healthier.
