Kacey Musgraves Debuts Lavender Hair

by Jessica Thomas

Celebrities from every industry are jumping on the colorful hair trend, and it looks like one singer from a notoriously traditional market is joining in. Country singer Kacey Musgraves debuted lavender hair on Instagram, and I'm waiting with bated breath for her to post another selfie. Her picture showed half her face and was caption-less, but it definitely looks like she made a big hair color change.

Kacey Musgraves has made waves since she hit the country scene a few years ago. She doesn't sing about traditional subjects, and she's famous for her more modern opinions (especially compared to other country stars). Kacey's unique sense of style is part of her charm, and the lavender hair only makes her more quirky.

It seems like this is the summer of celebrities changing up their hair. Kelly Ripa debuted blue hair a few weeks ago, and Ellie Goulding experimented with pink highlights in June. Julianne Hough, Hilary Duff, and of course, Kylie Jenner, are all some of the other celebrities who have been experimenting with bright colored hair.

Kacey's look may not be permanent (the picture was too cut off to get a good look at her hairline), but I wouldn't be surprised if she made the big switch.

Considering her recent Instagram posts, this change isn't too surprising. Just a few days ago she posted a selfie with a friend, and it could be the filter, but her hair totally looks purple. It's much more subtle than the first selfie, but definitely shows she's heading towards a different hair color.

A week ago, she also posted a picture of Lil Kim with the cryptic caption "sup?", but the rapper's revealing outfit distracted from the real matter at hand. Was Kacey hinting that she'd soon be dyeing her hair purple too?

Soon after, she posted a picture of a retro-inspired cowgirl costume designed for her by a fan, which happened to be made of several shades of purple fabric. If Kacey's hair switch is real, I can't wait to see her combine the two onstage in her own quirky-cool way.
