Billie Eilish ‘Got Swallowed Up’ With Hair Transformations

Billie Eilish told LA Times in a new interview that changing her hair led to her losing a sense of identity. “2019, that period of my life when I dyed my hair green, I was completely unstoppable,” she recalled. “I felt like I was on the moon. And I remember at the time being like, I’m finally happy. I’d never been happy before, and I just wanted to stay happy.” But the blonde hair she sported during the release of her 2021 album Happier Than Ever was “fun” at first, but “it did not go how I wanted it to go.” She says it led to her struggling with her sense of identity. “I completely had no idea who I was,” she says. “I came up with this whole aesthetic, and I just got swallowed up into it.” Eilish has since returned to her black hair — with red roots this time — and is up for five Grammys with “What Was I Made For?”
