Ariana Grande is known for her high ponytail, right? She’s switched it up from tight and high to loose waves and low, which has made us all jealous over the years. However, her recent appearance in New York with Mariah Carey and Jennifer Hudson showed off a fresh take on her signature ponytail look.

This time around, it was all about a sleek, glossy crown that effortlessly transitioned into luscious curls, with a honey blonde hue and a bedazzled glossy finish. Ari’s stylist, Alyx Liu, dropped this gem on Instagram, and now we’re all craving that festive, glossy glam.

The style is the perfect combination – it’s not just the color, the updo, or the shine, it’s that they all come together perfectly. We’ve seen many iconic looks on Ari, but this one takes the cake because it emphasizes the importance of hair care.

Ariana's previous collaboration with Alyssa Liu was for the REM campaign, and her hairstyle took a very different route compared to her recent look. She rocked a sleek ponytail with straight hair and darker roots, which gave off a more edgy vibe. The look emphasized a more structured and refined feel that was different from the new soft, warm and shiny style.
