Selena Gomez shows that it's not all glamour behind the scenes. The Only Murders in the Building actress, 30, shared a peek into her daily life on TikTok – taking a quick break in a public bathroom to air out her multi-colored wig using a hand dryer.
Not only was the Texan singer incredibly talented, but she also had a unique style that — to this day — lives in our hearts. But what many fans, media, movies, and #allthethings fail to mention is how much Selena loved (and flaunted) her natural curls.

A curly bob was the on-trend style of the time, but a few Selena beauty facts are that she permed her hair during this time period, and also dyed it. She actually dyed her hair and fried it, to the point that she had to cut it short.
