In a recent episode of Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, Camila Cabello opened up about the motivation behind her bold new look.
“I felt like I needed a big, physical change,” shared the “Señorita” singer. “My dark hair has been a significant part of how the world saw me, and how I saw myself. But with everything happening in the world, I felt like it was time for a transformation.”
As she approached her 27th birthday, Cabello reflected on themes of playfulness and bravery that had defined her recent experiences. “The music is different, the world is different,” she explained. “So, for so many reasons, I felt like a physical change was necessary to reflect that.”
Before committing to the switch, Cabello experimented with wigs to gauge her comfort level with the new look. “Trying on wigs is essential because it’s such a drastic change,” she advised. “It brings out a different side of your personality. It’s like a YOLO moment.”
The transition from her signature dark locks to platinum blonde was a meticulous process, spanning three appointments with colorist Nikki Lee. Emphasizing the importance of maintaining hair health throughout the transformation, Lee noted the gradual nature of transitioning from nearly black to platinum blonde.
“We’re loving everything about this change on her,” Lee remarked. “She’s glowing, and it perfectly captures the vibes of 2024.”
