Billie Eilish has had her hair dyed platinum blonde after teasing she was planning to switch up her black and green tresses.

According to her hairstylist, Lissa Renn, it took six weeks to strip her black hair with green roots out, and the Therefore I Am hitmaker is believed to have worn a wig of her signature colours at the ceremony.

In a since-deleted post on her Instagram page, Lissa spilled: “The process is real when you’re doing it right. six weeks to get all the black out of her ends without damaging it, along with her following my strict haircare regime. We actually loved all the stages of lifting color but the end result is (sic)”

While alongside a series of snaps with Billie rocking her new hairdo, she added: “So proud & honored. Billie has been a client of ours 6+ years now, so fun to watch her grow and evolve as an artist and woman. I am incredibly grateful for her trust in me to create her new style & the beginning of a new era! (sic)”

The Bad Guy singer also appeared to show she was wearing a wig in a TikTok video where she lifted her hairpiece.

Beginning of new hair era for Billie Eilish

Billie had recently suggested she was planning to switch up her hair after the release of her documentary Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry in February.

She said: “I’m changing it after the doc comes out. It’ll be the end of an era, I’m giving you a new era … I have announcements to make, I got some s*** to put out. Anyway, leave me alone. Let me live with my f****** hair that I’ve had for way too long. Okay? Shut the f*** up.”
