With her bizarre and iconic hairstyles changing almost weekly, it seems Billie Eilish never runs out of inspiration for her style. But does she dye her own hair repeatedly, or does she wear wigs?
Billie Eilish has worn a wig in the past, but doesn’t wear one all the time. Her kooky hairstyles are just the result of her dying her natural hair every time she feels like changing for something new.
Read on to learn more about Billie Eilish and her masterful ability to constantly change her style.
Never Wanting To Be Normal
Billie Eilish once stated that she never wanted to be normal as she grew up. This path obviously applied itself massively to her appearance and fashion choices, as it quite simply seems that she never dresses in a ‘normal’ manner. She’s stated in the past that her choices are tactical, such as wearing overly baggy clothing to avoid ‘sexualization’ or judgemental comments from fans and haters alike.
When it comes to her hair, Billie Eilish certainly stands out from the crowd. Ever since she entered the public eye as a musical prodigy, she has sported a wide array of styles and colors, some fairly plain, others wildly confusing. One of the most iconic was a complete drenching of shimmering blue, while the next was a fade of greens, tailing off into deep black.
It’s a fair assumption that Eilish may wear a wig, as dyeing hair as regularly as she does can of course lead to severe damage. However, the young star hasn’t ever had any issues looking fresh. In fact, there are many thousands of fans that have chosen to copy her ever-changing style, and amend their hair just as often as she does.
The One Time In A Wig
Billie Eilish was snapped for an article in V Magazine wearing a wig for the first time in 2019. In this article, she was seen sporting a long, lavish and dark head of hair. This obviously shocked the fans who were used to seeing the young superstar with shorter, brighter hair. Eilish initially framed this as a joke, suggesting that the hairstyle was indeed permanent, but it turned out that it would after all be very short-lived, and only for the purpose of the one photoshoot.
However, there was almost a second case in which Billie could have worn a wig – but chose not to. In an incident that came as a result of a bad dye job (as we’ve mentioned above, it’s dangerous) Billie was forced to have her hair cut irregularly. Somewhat comedically, this resulted in the singer sporting a green and black mullet hairstyle, something which both shocked and amused fans and critics alike.
She took the incident in jest and did admit that it was the fault of her choice, but was determined that she would grow out the hairstyle as soon as she was able. You can see the full story regarding this incident in the following YouTube video.
Normality, Once
Aside from when she was a child, sporting her natural blonde locks, there has only been one instance of Billie Eilish wearing what could be considered ‘normal’ hair. In the self-directed music video for her song ‘Xanny’, Eilish was seen with plain, mild brunette hair. The entirety of the video was almost a parody of her regular appearance, clothing and all.

This instance was a very wide step back from the hairstyle she wore just before this, which consisted of shocking, bright blue locks. It’s hard to say or predict what the next style will be for Billie Eilish, but we can be certain it’s going to consist of at least one bright shade.
