Billie Eilish continues to experiment with her hair color, having recently transformed her signature black hair with green roots into a platinum blonde shade, a process that took six weeks. After briefly sporting a deep chocolate bob with bangs in December 2021, it turns out that the “Ocean Eyes” singer made a brief detour into auburn hair in November, keeping it a sеcrеt from fans until now.

On January 3rd, Billie encouraged fans to choose random dates from 2021 for her to share photos or videos on Instagram Stories. When a fan selected November 22nd, the singer revealed that she had quietly gone red for a short period. She shared a video from the salon chair, stating, “Took the blonde out and went red for a week hehe.” By December 2nd, she was already showcasing her fresh brunette look in selfies.

While Billie didn’t provide an explanation for the swift departure from the red hair, it could be attributed to how the dye interacted with her platinum hair during the transition from light to dark, or perhaps she simply didn’t favor the auburn look.

Regardless of the reason, Billie Eilish has expressed her penchant for changing her appearance. In a September 2021 interview with Elle, she mentioned, “I’ve had different-colored hair and vibes for everything I’ve ever done. I wɑntеd [Happier Than Ever] to have its own thing.” She also addressed the practical aspect of the change from bright green to blonde, noting that the latter provided her with more anonymity and freedom from paparazzi and unwanted attention.
