The deets behind Billie Eilish's new hair color
Billie Eilish spilled the deets of her new 'do to Ellen DeGeneres during the May 11 episode of the daytime hit. According to the singer, a fan's edit sparked the idea in her brain, and things progressed from there. "I've been wanting blond for a while. I don't know what came over me," she confessed to DeGeneres. "I saw a fan edit when I had green hair, and it was like, me just with whatever hair color I had, and they just edited blond hair on me, and I was like, 'Ahhh! It's so sick, I want it!'"
Eilish also shared that she initially thought going blond was "a dream," and she was stunned when it became a reality. "I didn't think it was going to happen 'cause my hair's been through so much. I thought I'd burn it all off if I tried, but I did it!" the singer raved. The process to get to blond took the singer a long time: approximately six weeks. She shared that January 16 was the first day they began the dyeing process. "Then it was two weeks of nothing — healing, letting my hair take it in and digest and recover," she told DeGeneres. "And then again, and then two more weeks. ... Oh my god, it took a long time." We love Eilish with any hair color, but we have to admit that this blond is really speaking to us!
