Curtain Bangs or Wigs? PinkPantheress’s Hair Story
If you’ve been living under a rock, PinkPantheress is the Gen-Z songsmith who somehow makes 2-step, drum ’n’ bass, and diary-like bedroom pop feel like your favorite vintage playlist. Her looks are as part of her art as the lyrics. Fans (me included) love the way she uses hair to signal eras, moods, and reinventions—so let’s go through the cutest, weirdest, and most iconic PinkPantheress hair moments.

A Little Background About PinkPantheress
PinkPantheress is the stage name of Victoria Beverley Walker. She was born in Bath and raised in Kent; her mixed heritage (a Kenyan Luo mother and an English father) shows up in the way she talks about identity and style. She blew up via TikTok and then turned that online momentum into real charts and acclaim.
What Is Her Natural Hair Color?

In photos from her childhood and early candid shots, PinkPantheress’s hair appears to be dark brown — bordering on near-black. Press features and profile shoots often describe her look with brown or caramel accents, but she also experiments frequently with dyes, wigs and different textures, so what fans see onstage isn’t always her unaltered, “everyday” color.
5 PinkPantheress Hair Looks That Surprise Us
Although her soft, straight hair with curtain bangs has become something of a visual signature, PinkPantheress is far from one-note. She sometimes experiments with various hairstyles, showing that her hair choices are as varied and expressive as her songs. Below are a few standout looks and how each ties into her musical moods.
Straight Hair With Curtain Bangs

Soft, middle-part straight hair with a cute curtain bangs — warm, tactile, and effortlessly nostalgic. This fit mirrors her bedroom-pop moments, the songs that feel like intimate confessions pulled from a well-loved tape.
Skyline Ponytail

This is one of her less-common pulled-back styles — the high pony amps up her energy and stage presence. A high pony pulled tight at the crown with a looser, textured tail — clean at the hairline but playful in motion.
Ginger Hair Moment

A sudden ginger hair is a visual mic drop: bright, decisive, and impossible to ignore. It’s especially perfect for autumn and winter’s warm palettes — a seasonal change that feels cozy and bold at once, and I’d definitely encourage fans to try it.
Not ready to commit? A UNice ginger wig is an easy, low-risk way to test the vibe for a night out or a photoshoot.
Half Up Cozy Look

Casual half-up styles keep the face open while preserving texture and ease, giving off a sweet-but-cool vibe. Add a small accessory — a ribbon bow, pearl clip, or tiny barrettes — and the look becomes instantly more cohesive and everyday-ready.
Knotless Braids

Knotless braids are both practical and symbolic: structured, detailed, and rooted in cultural style. It’s also one of her rarer braid looks lately, which makes seeing her in them feel special — fans are always hoping she’ll bring this style back.
Does PinkPantheress Wear Wigs?
Yes — but with nuance. She’s been seen with wigs and with braided styles, and in recent months, fans noticed she sometimes jokes about wig rumors on stage and in clips. There are viral posts showing her playfully confronting “take off your wig” signs and even a widely-shared TikTok/short in which she alludes to shaving her head under a look — so the line between wig, weave, and real hair has become part of the performance. That said, she’s also talked about hair publicly in interviews and tends to treat it like another creative choice.
Wrap
Her hair flips, dyes and braids read like a mixtape: short tracks, big moods, a surprise remix. Want more celeb hair inspo?
