Ariana Madix Debuts Bold New Short Hair: ‘I Was Really Bored…’

Ariana Madix has sported so many iconic hairstyles throughout her 39 years of life. The Vanderpump Rules alum is always rocking her signature blonde hair, at different lengths and shades of blonde, to reflect her cool girl persona. But, Ariana's short hair might be one of her best looks yet.

Ariana first cut her hair into a chin-length bob in 2016, chopping off the very long hair that she made her VPR debut, with as an official cast member in Season 2. The Something About Her co-owner spoke with BravoTV.com at the time, where she openly talked about the chop and her decisions behind it. "I have been talking about cutting my hair off for years and years," she said, as seen in the video above.

"I've always been really bored with just having my hair long and not really doing anything with it," she noted at the time. "It's funny because once I sat down in the chair and he started to cut the back of it, I honestly didn't really have any emotions about it."

You can see the short chop up close in the following photo of Ariana, taken on a step and repeat at an event in 2017. The cut is so edgy and so chic.

Ariana continued with the streak of short hair in 2019, when she cut her hair into an angled bob, emphasizing her facial features. She took to Instagram at the time, where she posed in the back alley of SUR while wearing a light blue motorcycle jacket and sheer top.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought a lot of changes to Ariana's hair. Not only did she go back to her natural hair color, but she also played around with her look during that time. Ariana took to Instagram in November 2021 where she posted a photo of her, at the hair salon, with a bob dyed honey blonde with two platinum blonde "money pieces" bringing attention to her face. "It's the money piece for me," she wrote in the caption of the post.

Ariana later took to her Instagram account around that time, where she posted a selfie showing off the face emphasizing money pieces. It also helped that Ariana's makeup was done in a way that seriously showed off her bright blue eyes.

Why Ariana Madix changes her hair so much

Ariana's ever-changing hair length and color, is, in fact, a reflection of her personality. Ariana spoke with PEOPLE this year, where she admitted that she loves changing things surrounding her look and admitted that she wants to dye her hair red next. "I change my hair so often because I get bored really easily," she said. "I go from really long to really short or darker to lighter a lot."

Ariana's also never shied away from discussing some of her other cosmetic changes.
