ItвЂ™s a heartbreaking reminder of the reality of fame, particularly for someone who has reached the kind of mega-stardom that Billie enjoys today. NothingвЂ™s gonna happen.вЂ™ And I took my hood off, and I felt like a new person.вЂќ But my friend was like, вЂDonвЂ™t worry: youвЂ™re okay. вЂњI went to a park with a friend, and I was like, вЂNo, I canвЂ™t take off my hood!вЂ™ I was terrified of the paparazzi and these stalkers IвЂ™ve had. It was only when she went blonde that Billie discovered the freedom that most her age take for granted. Speaking about her acid green hairstyle, she told the publication: вЂњI couldnвЂ™t go anywhere with that hair because it was so obviously me. It was something of a shock then, when she emerged earlier this year in March revealing a bob, fringe and blonde locks.Д«ut in a recent interview with Elle magazine, Billie has since revealed the real reason that inspired the change. She became synonymous with style, a sort of grungy vibe with oversized sweats and tees that saw her challenge the conventional mould and expectations of young female music stars. Her incredible vocals made her one of the most sought-after singers of our time, with Billie fronting magazine covers and fashion campaigns with the same ease at which she performed in front of hundreds of thousands of adoring fans. For years, the singer was known for her black locks with neon green roots. These arenвЂ™t requests one makes simply because they want a change or something novel, these are changes that speak to a part of our soul, changes that shed the past and present a new path forward, one thatвЂ™s novel, at times scary, but ultimately rewarding.ДЇor Billie Eilish, such was the case. It makes us think back to the days we could stroll into a hairdresser with wilful abandon, request a transformative cut, and more often than not, look into the mirror at the end of the styling session fighting back tears, only to sob hysterically in the car as we mutter вЂњitвЂ™ll grow back, itвЂ™ll grow back.вЂќД«ut as anyone who has ever done a big chop or colour change can understand, these requests often come from a place deep within ourselves. Zoom cameras are now well and truly switched off, a testament to the regrowth that has taken over our locks. For those who have been in lockdown, few things are missed quite like the incredible hands and skills of your hairdresser.
