Halsey Added More Colors to Their New Blue Hair

A few weeks ago, Halsey revealed that they dyed their hair a vibrant shade of turquoise, which instantly drew fan comparisons to the many times over the last decade that the singer-songwriter has donned blue dye and wigs. It’s actually been a good, long while since she’s given us some Tumblr realness, so the reveal that this was a seemingly long-term commitment to a vivid color feels like it may be signaling a bigger shift away from all of the neutral, low-key looks we’ve been seeing from so many celebrity beauty icons in the last few years.

But even though the blue baby bangs and bob are a big break from current beauty norms, it seems Halsey may already be a little bored.

On Wednesday, August 20, they posted a selfie video to their Instagram Stories with a whimsical butterfly filter. Not a filter, however: the latest changes to her hair.

What was once decidedly a chin-length bob is now a cheekbone bob. In fact, it’s nearly a bowl cut, if not for the fact that she cut her baby bangs even shorter and a bit choppier than before.

But the biggest reveal comes when Halsey runs their fingers through their hair to show gradient layers of color underneath: The turquoise switches to emerald green and then highlighter yellow.

As of now, we don’t know if these additional colors are just in front of her ears or all the way around, but one thing is for sure: Halsey has no problem making updates to her hair color, so however it looks today may not be how it looks tomorrow.
