Ciara’s Fruit Punch Hair Is Jolting Me Back to Life After the Long Weekend

Ciara has had an eventful last few months. In July, the singer-dancer released the upbeat single “Jump.” Then a month later, the “1, 2 Step” performer revealed some skin-care goodies underneath her new brand On a Mission, joining the likes of other celebs who have stepped into the beauty business. But in our eyes, arguably the most important change for the star is the super long, fruit punch-hued hair that she wore during Labor Day Weekend.

CiCi debuted her reddish hair, which came courtesy of hairstylist JStay Ready, in an Instagram video posted at the beginning of the long weekend. JStay Ready styled her vivid hair into a half-up, half-down updo with face-framing tendrils reminiscent of the ones from the ’90s and early aughts. He twisted the straightened hair at the front in various ways to create the cluster knot at her ponytail base. Though she started the weekend with a sleek and fun updo, she ended it with curls parted straight down the middle, which she posted on Sept 5.

The “Level Up” singer looks like the baddest to ever exist in this photoset. She showed off her top model skills in front of a car with her long magenta hair flowing behind her, a leather shirt, and graphic pants; these colorful crimps looked unbelievably bright and shiny. The last image captures the full beauty and length of these voluminous curls that cascaded past her hips.
