Ariana Madix wants to "have fun" with her hair

She told PEOPLE: "Whenever I want to change my hair, so many people would be like: 'Don't do it' I'm like it's hair, and I want to have fun with it.

"I think it's so fun to change things up. Obviously, when we're shooting Love Island, we do a lot of different fun looks, and I was like, 'Let's do a real-life, different fun look.'"

She went on to add: "[After dyeing her hair darker] I was really telling myself when [the hairstylist] first was blow-drying me, and then when I looked at it, I just was like: 'Oh, this makes sense. I don't know why it wasn't like this all the time'."

However, she's open to changing up her look again soon and opting for a more dramatic shade.

She said: "I've always wanted to go red. And I've always loved the idea of just a really fun, very unnatural color. I don't know what I would do, maybe pink or something."

Ariana is an ambassador for haircare brand TRESemme and she's a big fan of the company's products as they have helped add shine to her new darker tresses.

She said: "The Lamellar Gloss collection. I love this finishing oil. I feel like the dark hair really pops with the shine if you use the finishing oil and I've been having a lot of fun with that."

Ariana - who began hosting Love Island USA in 2024 - previously revealed it requires a "team effort" to prepare her glitzy outfits for the series.

She told E! News: "I definitely have a lot of input with the looks but it's a team effort, from Emily Men, my stylist.

"We do fittings before I leave and we are constantly sending each other inspo. Then she finds the most amazing things and then once we get here, we get the looks."
