Watch Ariana Grande Give a Rare Glimpse at Her Natural Curls in a Makeup-Free Clip

Ariana Grande has rocked many hairstyles over the years, from her fire-engine red hair as Cat Valentine to Glinda the Good Witch’s signature blonde.
While she’s most known for her signature brunette ponytail, Ari actually has natural curly hair.
She gave fans a rare glimpse at her natural curls in a video promoting her latest r.e.m beauty drop.

Ariana Grande returned to her roots when she pulled up to the 2026 Golden Globes in a de-Glindafied look, trading her beloved Wicked character’s baby pink color palette for a black Vivienne Westwood gown. She also rocked her signature brunette pony for the first time since she took on the Oscar-nominated role, which sent her beloved Arianators into a spiral.

Day one Ari fans know that it’s been even longer since she ditched her pony for her natural curls—and, now, they’re no longer starved thanks to her latest post for r.e.m. beauty.

In a video promoting her beauty line’s latest glossy balm drop, the Grammy winner wore a hydrating sheet mask over her makeup-free face and rocked her shoulder-length brown curls. It’s unclear whether the video is recent, but she’s also wearing merch from her upcoming movie, Focker-in-Law.

Fans in her comments section couldn’t contain their excitement over her twisty tresses, with one person writing, “THE CURLS Y’ALL !!! CAN Y’ALL SEE THOSE CURLS,” and another chiming in, “The hairrrr😭😭😭OH MY SHAYYYLAAAA.”

This is the first time she’s shown fans her curly hair in a few years. Ari posted clips and photos in 2019 and 2020, garnering a similar reaction from her followers each time.
